bookishdamzel 's review for:
A Court of Thorns and Roses
by Sarah J. Maas
Look I'm docking off 2 stars just for the amount of times I had to hear Feyre's bowels turned watery.
But, in all seriousness. It took 300 pages to get into any major action in to the plot there was in this book. I like how Feyre persevered because of love but she really had little interaction with the love interest?? Don't get me wrong Calanmai and the Summer Solstice were neat interactions - and the meadow scene reminded me of Twilight. Like yeah they got hot and heavy with each other somewhat but to go through trials for him? I don't know about that one. It's also a slow burn romance, which I do love when you get to see the love between characters grow, but I didn't feel like it was justified in this book - I didn't see that growth like I do in a real gnawing slow-burn. I'm glad Feyre felt some kind of happiness at the Spring Court with her painting and not worrying about providing for anybody else. I also feel like I had issues with her downfalls being that she's illiterate and that she provided for her poor family, and the only thing she's good for is hunting and painting?? IDK, I have mixed emotions on this book. Like I enjoyed it enough to finish it in a day but I also see the flaws - it's the same sort of feeling I get reading the Twilight Saga lol
Will I still read the rest of the series? Yeah, probably so. I want to see how everything plays out with Feyre.
