Reviews with content warning for Injury/Injury detail - A Court of Thorns and Roses

Okay listen I was very anti reading this book, I was a “I’m not like other girls” girl about this one and I’m here to admit I was wrong. This made my brain go brrr in the best kind of way, no thoughts just a very fun time. The action was exciting, the character building was more or less solid (though I did have a hard time with Feyre being both incredibly smart and also simply the most obtuse, pick one girl), and it kind of just felt like the reading equivalent of eating a lot of yummy candy. Admittedly, the writing wasn’t spectacular, there are some fairly bonkers plot holes and plot points, and it often felt like reading a fairy-tale mashup fanfic (please! I know this is just beauty and the beast I beg you for a shred of subtlety!). But I get it! I really do! Already on board to read the rest of the series, ya got me.

Loved it! Slow to start but then stayed up to 3am to finish this because I couldn't put it down. I adore Lucien and thought he and Fayre might have become a couple at first. I do have a soft spot for a Beauty and the Beast story and this was great. Can't wait to start reading the next book!

The first 50 pages was a bit boring but then I can't stop reading it. IT'S SO GOOD. The ending was great. I can't wait reading the next book as it will focus on Rhysand and Feyre more. I'm curious as to how she fall out of love with Tamlin, the reason of why she did all of this. I can't wait for her family knows what she is now.

I’ve read this a bunch of times, but people always recommend the GraphicAudio. I’m so glad I listened! This story never gets old and I loved hearing a whole cast play these characters.
This was paced really well too. I noticed a lot of things that I didn’t catch when reading, which was cool too. Listening also made me realize how dark and intense this book was. Hearing it out loud made that really sink in for me and appreciate how much these characters really go through.
