danadoesbooks 's review for:

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

When Feyre inadvertently kills a faerie, she must pay for it with her own life. Instead of killing her, Tamlin offers her an alternative. She can leave the poverty of her family behind and live with him in the Spring Court for the rest of her life.

I like the concept of the world in A Court of Thorns and Roses. Although the structure of the world is explained in this first book, Feyre only visits a few places. I look forward to being able to explore the other courts in the rest of the series.

I am not a huge fan of Feyre and Tamlin's relationship. It developed way too quickly to be believable and that she was willing to die for him seems exaggerated. However, Feyre's devotion drove the action of the second half of the book and made it really exciting.

Lucien was by far my favorite character because he was so snarky. I am also very intrigued by Rhysand and I look forward to learning more about him in future books!

I have heard that the second book is a lot better than the first so I can't wait to start reading it!
