Reviews with content warning for Vomit - Una corte de rosas y espinas

Listen....I don't know why this book interested me as much as it did. Like I was FULLY invested in Feyre and the fae boys. Also quite a bit darker and super gruesome towards the back half. I'm intrigued though to say the least...

also die ersten 250 seiten dachte ich mir go girl, give us nothing… das ist schon sehr weit im buch, dafür dass es sich angefühlt hat, als ob Maas den ganzen anfang einfach random ohne plan drauflos geschrieben hätte. ich sah da einfach keinen roten faden oder sinn hinter einigen szenen. es schien mir eher, als wäre der letzte drittel ihre main idea für die geschichte gewesen (vielleicht sogar erst das nächste buch) und den rest hat sie etwas willkürlich drumrum gebaut.
ohne tiktok hype und süpps approval bin ich mir nicht sicher, ob ich nach 150 seiten weitergelesen hätte…

ABER ja das ende war schon viiiel lebhafter und spannender. ich hatte meinen spaß und es war duechweg easy zu lesen. gute unterhaltung auch für zwischendurch, wenn man noch eine hausarbeit schreiben muss und eigentlich keine zeit hat 🌝.

ich muss aber auch sagen… es war INSANE!! wie oft verschiedene charaktere erbrochen haben. definitiv trigger warnung, mir wurde schon öfter selbst schlecht 🤧.

UND die trials sind auch etwas zu kurz gekommen v.a. im vergleich zum langsamen start, das war echt schade.

ich freu mich auf jeden fall auf das nächste buch und glaube schon fest daran, dass es sich allein dafür gelohnt haben wird, dieses erste buch zu lesen :)

This book got me on a chokehold plot twist after plot twist. It was a bit slow for me at first but the second half??? Gut wrenching. Absolutely cannot wait to read the next one.

This was my first foray into the fantasy/romantasy genre. The last fantasy series I read was Harry Potter when I was 11 years old, so needless to say, it's been a while. One of the things I wanted to challenge myself on this year was to explore new genres and so after seeing the ACOTAR series countless times on my For You Page, I decided to give them a try.

The first half of the book was a touch slow for my liking and I was slightly worried that I had made a terrible mistake but something clicked in the second half and the book completely opened up. I found myself becoming more and more invested in Feyre and Tamlin's budding relationship and was very tense and nervous when we were taken to the Under the Mountain scenes. The book is spicy, the world feels expansive and lush, and for my first taste of romantasy, I ended the book very pleased and excited to start the next one in the series.

If you're like me, it's almost like you kind of have to get your "fantasy feet" wet to really get your bearing in the books and to fully get into them. It's a new world for me (literally) and although it took some time, I ended up really enjoying the read. Everyone keeps telling me that the next one is even better and a wilder ride so we shall see!

2.0

I first read this book in May 2015, around the time it first came out. I then read the rest of the trilogy as those were releasing. Never read the novella and beyond.

I remember this installment being the worst (to me), and that still holds true in 2025. I just do not like Feyre in this story. She irritates the everloving piss out of me.
