This is what a Court of Thorn and Roses should have been.
Based on Eros and Psyche, mixed with Hades and Persephone, this is a Beauty and the Beast (Disney version) love story of the North Wind and poor little Wren.
Perfect for the Young Adult audience, this has a middle school reading level but very adult themes.
Sexy as hell, gory, tense and sweet - I didn't know what to expect from the opening chapter but I was quickly hooked. I can't wait for the rest of the series and would love to explore more of the immortals and how they've survived outliving everyone they've ever known and loved, over and over.
Areas for improvement - tightening up the editing for the opener, otherwise a solid 5 star read, I loved.it.
