A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
4.25
adventurous emotional medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

First read:
There is a certain character who has deeply infuriated me, but that I'm sensing one heck of a redemption arc for in the upcoming books.

The world created was beautiful and detailed, history was given without reading a history book, and the characters were vibrant and multifaceted. Why in the world did I wait so long to read this one?

Second read:
I continue to believe that Sarah J Maas is nearly unparalleled in her world-building, particularly when it comes to her ability to create a world that is aggressively fantasy while still somehow being relatable? Her world is immersive, her characters are believable, and she makes you never want to stop reading.
