bahareads 's review for:

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
5.0

"Be glad of your human heart, Feyre. Pity those who don't feel anything at all.”

Why is this marketed as YA?!?

I've heard so many great things about Maas' books and I just picked this up on a whim. This book had me mind blown! I was in love with the world, the characters, the plot, just everything!


Feyre was interesting character, though not my favorite. She was very complex which I enjoyed. I kept screaming in my head at her throughout the book for some of the stupid decisions she made. I found it interesting how Feyre was illiterate, completely the opposite from the Disney version.


Tamlin was interesting version of the "beast". I would have liked to see a bit more anger from him aimed at Feyre. But I enjoyed his role in the book immensely. I also felt the romance between Feyre and Tamlin was a bit rushed but I did enjoy it.


Lucien reminded me of the sarcastic sidekick who everyone loves and was probably my favorite character. Tamlin coming in a very close second. I have a love-hate relationship with Rhys right now. More love than hate but I need time. Amarantha was given a nice background story but I felt like she still had a poor showing as the villain of the book. She was really just there because we need a bad guy for the plot.


The world building in here was really good. But I wanted even more ! I still have so many questions about the other courts and the human world as well the lands across the sea.
