A review by violethenry
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.
Bad. Sarah does not trust her readers with any kind of inference or illusion. She spells everything out on the page rather than trusting her readers to understand more subtle hints. I felt like she thought I was dumb while I read this book.
The story of “girl from hateful family runs into guy who thinks she’s beautiful and therefore she finds value in herself” is so tired. And if this book is meant for teenage girls, it’s further confirming to them that their value lies in the approval of men.
