A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
3.5
dark medium-paced

What can I say this was a fun fae read. 

I would like to say that it's loosely a beauty and beast retelling. Since I felt that the main character wasn't really a beast of a man in the sense of behavior and the girl didn't quite live up to what I in venison a beauty would be ( im not talking about looks) At first reading it gave me more Cinderella vibs mixed in with the beauty and the beast. 

It was a fun read, loved the main character, all the twists in turns. Like the lack of kid gloves when it came to the violence ( not really talking about how graphic) it was dark with out being to dark, if there is even such a thing. 

The fae elements were a little lacking for my tastes. 

Overall I'm not sure it was as earth shattering as its was hyped up to be but still a very enjoyable read. Im excited to she where this series goes.
