A Court of Thorns and Roses eSampler
A Court of Thorns and Roses eSampler | Sarah J. Maas
Get a FREE sneak peek at the first four chapters of New York Times bestselling author Sarah J. Maas' thrilling and seductive new series, which blends Beauty and the Beast with faerie lore. When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution for it. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she only knows about from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal, but Tamlin--one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled their world. As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow over the faerie lands is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it . . . or doom Tamlin--and his world--forever. Perfect for fans of Kristen Cashore and George R. R. Martin, this first book in a sexy and action-packed new series is impossible to put down!

I started ACOMAF, realised I had forgotten absolutely everything that had happened before, and had to reread ACOTAR. The first half of the story was sort of ‘meh‘ but it picked up in the second half at the Court Under the Mountain. I definitely rolled my eyes 🙄 at some of the stuff that happened but I was absorbed in the story. A soft pick.

SO MUCH YES. But also NOOOOOOO.

I have put off reading this one for a long time. Which was dumb because it's so good. I finally picked it up as a buddy read which was also a bad decision. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to only read six chapters of a book you NEED to devour?

If you need me I'll be over here obsessing and stressing over this impending love triangle.

I could not get into this book. I got about halfway and I was completely over it. I loved the beginning couple of chapters but after that it went downhill. As much as I wanted to love it (and I really did) I couldn‘t.

Currently reading A Court of Thorns and Roses. This is outside of my comfort zone and not something I would choose for myself. I wouldn‘t have given it a second glance if it wasn‘t the upcoming series read for a book group.

I‘ve felt burned out and I was really craving something new & exciting to read. I decided to give this a try. I haven‘t gotten very far but so far, I am really enjoying it. I might learn something new about myself here!

mcipher Litsy has taught me that reading outside of your comfort zone can be so amazing! Enjoy. 😊 5y

the toxic masculinity in this book. He can‘t control himself because of a ritual!! That‘s just setting up young girls to believe that it‘s not the mans fault because he can‘t control himself. that they should want advances or get hot and bothered by barley co trolling lust. I don‘t mind this in erotica for adults who have hopefully been taught better but in YA? While I am enjoying this I‘m ashamed I bought it for my libraries YA dept. 😑

Marilyncjackson Twilight is the same way. The obsessive controlling nature of Edward is a horrible. Yet it is said to be ok in all those books. I will let you know without spoiling anything that a lot of wrongs in the first book are corrected in the second 6y
staci.reads I bought the first 3 for my classroom library before I read any of them. I felt the same way after reading the first one. I really disliked it and never read any more. 6y
LibrarianRyan @Marilyncjackson I agree. I didn‘t see it as heavy, but maybe because the sexual was much more Edward putting it off. But very controlling. 6y

LibrarianRyan @staci.reads my previous library had J (chapters up to 3rd grade) YT (grade 4+) and YA which was for high school and over. We never censored but it was a way for parents to distinguish for their advanced readers. Most of this book reads YA and then parts read semi bad erotica. I don‘t mind Sex in YA books because they have it in their life, these things are just so popular for these major problems. 6y
staci.reads @LibrarianRyan Yeah, I don't censor either, so the books are still on the classroom shelf. Anyone who checks them out, though, "gets" to talk to me about rape culture and society's enabling of machismo and aggressive behavior towards women ? I will say, though, that I also think it's just bad writing ? 6y
LibrarianRyan @staci.reads yes. I agree. I felt the same way about twilight. 6y
Gissy But we read it🤷🏻‍♀️ 6y
LibrarianRyan @Gissy yes we do. It makes me wonder. There is al sorts of “problematic” books in YA. Racist, ableist, etc. and people fight to get them pulled from publication or to get low ratings so no one will buy it. But characters who treat each other bad because it‘s uncontrollable. Why isn‘t anyone protesting this. Or asking for more believable or nicer guys. I‘m not sure that‘s exactly what I‘m trying to say. 6y
Gissy I understand and I agree with you. 6y

Chapter two down. So far ehhhhhh. I was a bit surprised to find Feyre to be a girl. I think. #litsyafterdark #dicksoapgate

julesG Me too. I was so certain the MC was a boy, I was actually disappointed when it turned out Feyre is a girl. BTW - would you write the pronunciation of her name 'Fay-Ruh'? That second syllable tripped me up. In my head I keep reading 'Fay-Rou' (like in 'rough') - it's supposed to be something more like 'Fae-Ra' (like in 'She-Ra'). 6y
Leniverse @julesG I haven't read this yet, but I tend to read fantasy names phonetically. (Or Norwegian-ly I suppose. ? Which is very much like German) So to me Feyre is like "feire". Def no -a ending. It's just a question of how to pronounce the "r". ? 6y
LibrarianRyan @julesG I was totally on the she~ra Fay ra pronunciation after it was hyphenated in the book. Originally I thought it was pronounced like Fire. 6y
See All 6 Comments
LibrarianRyan @Leniverse I think I do that too. At times. 6y
julesG @Leniverse Yep, that's what I tend to do, too. And Fay-Ruh tripped me. Because phonetically I'd pronounce 'Ruh' like Roo. 6y
IljaRianca I just fished chapter 3 yesterday! So far it's meh for me too, but good enough to keep reading. 6y

Morning everyone! These are the rest of the books that I got at the library. "A Court of Thorns and Roses" has been on my TBR for a long time, and luckily it's part of my summer reading program for school! The other books I got were: "Jess, Chunk, and the Road Trip to Infinity" by Elizabeth Clark, "The Wrath and the Dawn" by Renée Ahdieh, and "The Book Jumper" by Mechthild Gläser.

OMG! Now I've read my fair share a books and I've found that after a while I just move from book to book with an equal opinion of "yeah, it was okay." But all of that came to a halt when I read SJM's ACOTAR. This book picked my heart up, stepped on it, ripped it to shredded and then slowly put it back toe get her again. I absolutely and completely loved it. I recommend this book to everyone and can honestly say "yeah, it was amazing."

A delightful, darker retelling of "Beauty and the Beast". I enjoyed the nuance SJM wove into the characters, their actions, and their motives. While some reviewers have been a bit "meh" on this one--BATB not being their thing--let me encourage readers to let it be a bridge to the 2nd installment, "A Court of Mist and Fury". It'll all be worth it.

Definitely a book for YA fantasy readers with elements of magic.I liked female character Feyre. Loved how she analyzed her hunting & battle strategies. Sarcastic humor in some parts which I loved. Her relation with Tamlin was different, she was the one who had to fight for their love. However, it was at the end where book captivates me. 3/3.5 ⭐️Loved Maas dedicatory to her husband in the acknowledgments part. But I'll read book 2 👍seems better.

krismac Book 2 is way better! You'll love it! 7y
Gissy Looking to start it soon! Right now I'm reading The female of the species! 7y
FoldedPagesDistillery Book two is WAAAAY better. I liked this one, but was still meh about continuing the series. Then my friends basically forced me into ACOMAF and it was easily my top favorite read in all of 2016. So so good!! 7y
