While I found the beginning of A Court of Thorns and Roses amazing, I found the ending too flat to give five stars to. The beginning of the book was leading up to what I thought would be a more exciting ending, especially one with a cliffhanger. The way it ended didn't leave me wondering what was going to happen next. With that said, I definitely plan on reading A Court of Mist and Fury (book two), but not for a bit longer. I want to read some other books on my TBR list first.

I loved the characters in this book. Feyre was amazing and another independent and strong female character. Sarah J. Maas's characters are some of the best characters I have ever read about. In the Throne of Glass series, Celeana was yet another feisty character that didn't let anyone get in the way of her dreams. I found similar characteristics in Feyre. As for the male characters, I didn't love Tamlin as much as I expected, but I found Lucien really intriguing. I'm looking forward to seeing more of him in the future.

Even though I was disappointed in the way this book ended compared to all the hype surrounding it, I definitely recommend it.

Here's my favorite quote: "Don't feel bad for one moment about doing what brings you joy." -Tamlin, page 172
