Title: Delivered Much More Than I Expected
Review: Let me preface by saying that I sat down to read this book and could not put it down until I completed it within a 24 hours period. This is an occurrence I find so rare these days as I get older.My basis for a good book have become more and more demanding the more I read and the less time I have to read. I’m someone who will not hesitate to drop a book a hundred pages in if it’s not gripping me by any means. With that said, my requirements are quite simple although they seem hard to achieve these days. Good enough writing, engaging plots, believable characters, and “HEA”.ACOTAR certainly exceeded my expectations because I dove into it purely based on my immense interest in its premise being based on a Beauty and the Beast retelling, which is one of my most loved stories. And the intrigue of faery court politics, which I am always fascinated by. The rest I was willing to chance since this is in the YA fantasy category and I find most of these make my eyes roll while reading a majority of the time. But ACOTAR delivered on all that I asked for: world building, character developments, romance, and action.WORLD BUILDING: Wow do I desperately wish to see this Fae world brought to life on screens. I appreciated the illustrated map of their world before the book began. It made envisioning the world of Prythian a breeze. I would probably read every single book if Maas ever decided to write about each of the seven Courts and their ruling High Lords. ACOTAR took place majority of the time in the Spring court and it was as if I was there walking along with Feyre during all her outings.ROMANCE: There was no “instalove” happening here and for that I am always grateful. The draw in any forms of fiction for me is a slow burn, gradual build of love. It makes for deeper investments from the audience and the payoff scenes so much more satisfying. I will admit I was generally indifferent to Tamlin for the first quarter of the book. He was pretty stiff and bland but after the incident that occurred the nite of the Spring ritual(fans self) I started to fall in love with him just as much as the heroine was. It also helped that their relationship building after that was sweet and believable. My only nitpick is that although his face was concealed, it was already implied that he was extremely good looking. Which contradicts the theme of loving someone despite their outer appearance that BatB conveyed.CHARACTER DEVELOPMENTS: Feyre was brave but ultimately very human and therefore imperfect. She made bad choices and actions but I always understood where her motivations came from. At the beginning it seemed as if characters behaved in certain ways “just because” to push a point, which seemed forced. But once they were revisited and layers were peeled at a later point, their actions suddenly made sense.ACTION: For anyone who is expecting a full on action-packed book from beginning to end then you might be a little bit disappointed. There were one or two scenes thrown into the first 3/4, but most of the action came at the last quarter of the book. And when it came it was exciting and riveting to see played out.Although this is a first in a planned trilogy, ACOTAR should have no problem standing on its own should I decide not to continue the rest of the series. The main plot was tied up leaving me feeling satisfied and fulfilled while just enough bait was dangled to make me anticipate the next book. I hate it when series writers end their books in a cliffhanger in order to hook readers to anticipate the next book. Guess what, it doesn’t work like that. All that does is generates unnecessary aggravation and ruins any good feeling the reader had upon finishing that book. Especially when the reader usually has to wait up to a year for the next.*RATINGS CATEGORY AND SLIGHT SPOILERS*As most others have pointed out about the included sex scenes, they are a bit more detailed than the typical YA fade to black. This is a heads up for anyone who is wary of reading sex scenes described in books or intends this for younger readers.

Title: A solid series – no spoilers
Review: This series is easy to read and get engaged in. I truly wish it ended after the first 3 books. The last 2 books are pointless money grabs imo. Maybe if i was more entranced by the story and committed to the characters, I would have enjoyed the next 2 books in the series.The plot was interesting but had many overdone ideas that I’ve already read about countless times. I totally get the love for this series if it was your first romantasy! The characters have depth and the world building is done well. The books read very YA and are even a bit cringe at points. I don’t think it is bad writing but just the genre and intended audience.The main character Feyre is easy to like but plays the typical FMC role. Nothing interesting.The whole series gives me Hunger Games meets fantasy world. It is a good easy read and I recommend it but it will not live in my brain rent-free.

Title: ✨🌹 Spoiler Free Review: A Grown Up Fairy Tale That Knows Exactly Where to Cut 🗡️📖
Review: Some books don’t just tell a story. They build a world so vivid that you forget you’re reading and start living inside it 🌲✨ A Court of Thorns and Roses is one of those books. If you’re new here, this is a fantasy romance set in a divided world where humans live on the edge of lands ruled by powerful fae 🧚♀️🌙 The magic feels old, dangerous, and deeply woven into everyday life. Not sparkly or playful, but ancient and rule bound. Think forests that watch you back 🌳👀 courts with their own politics and customs 👑 and magic that always has a price ⚖️✨What makes this book special is how grounded it feels emotionally, even with all the fantasy elements. The world building unfolds naturally. You learn how this place works by watching the characters survive in it, not through long info dumps 📜❌ There are clear social hierarchies, unspoken rules, and tensions that feel believable, even when the setting itself is otherworldly 🌒At its core, this is a story about survival, power, and identity 🔥🖤 The main character is not effortlessly special or instantly confident. She is stubborn, flawed, and shaped by hardship, which makes her reactions feel human. Watching her navigate a world that is beautiful and terrifying at the same time is what keeps the pages turning 💨📖So why is this book everywhere? 👀✨ Because it hits a rare balance. It’s accessible enough for people newer to fantasy, but layered enough for longtime fantasy readers to appreciate 🧠📚 The romance is slow burn and emotionally charged without overpowering the plot ❤️🔥 The stakes steadily rise. The atmosphere gets darker And just when you think you know what kind of story you’re in, the book quietly shifts its footing under youAnother reason it’s become so popular is that it rewards patience ⏳ This is not a book that rushes to impress you in the first chapter. It builds tension carefully. It lets relationships develop through action and consequence. And when things finally click, you understand why readers talk about this series the way they do 💬✨ Even without spoilers, I can say this is the kind of book that makes people immediately want to talk about it when they’re done 🤯📖 It sparks rereads 🔁 It turns casual readers into series readers. And it leaves just enough unsaid that you feel compelled to keep going 👑🌹If you enjoy immersive fantasy worlds, emotionally driven storytelling, and stories that evolve into something bigger than you expected, this one earns its reputation ✨📚I finished it already knowing I’d be thinking about it long after closing the book 💭🖤 And that, to me, is always the sign of a story worth recommending.

Title: Fantastic book!
Review: ACOTAR completely pulled me into its world! I loved the mix of fantasy, romance, and danger — it felt magical, intense, and addictive all at once.At first, I really liked Tamlin. His protectiveness and the way he cared for Feyre in the beginning made him feel like the perfect love interest. On the other hand, I really didn’t like Rhysand at first — his behavior toward Feyre felt manipulative and unsettling when he was first introduced.Despite my initial feelings about the characters, I was completely hooked by the story’s twists, the lush world-building, and the emotional stakes. Feyre’s journey was captivating, and the tension kept building in a way that made it impossible to put the book down.An incredible start to a series that left me excited — and curious — to see what happens next!

Review: I can’t believe I didn’t read A Court of Thorns and Rosesbefore now, ten years after it first released! Better late than never the saying says. I’m in agreement with its high popularity as I was instantly captivated by Feyre’s journey!The intrigue started slow, but it was the perfect pace to get acquainted to this fantastical world. I liked discovering the different varieties of fearies and creatures living in Prythian, but also knowing more about this magical land. The High Fae and their powers with the multiple Courts had me intrigued. It was truly a very immersive experience reading this novel.I loved the heroine, Feyre. This human, so brave and determined in a world full of enemies. The evolution of her relationship with Tamlin and Lucien, her Spring Court protectors, was amazing to witness. They shared an amalgam of feelings together going from hate to humor to respect to friendship. All these protagonists were certainly multi-faceted and alluring. The most intriguing one of all to me: Rhysand from the Night Court. I appreciated his morally gray persona, not knowing his true motives, but still seeing a kind of protectiveness toward Feyre despite his actions.The true intrigue took off at the midway mark and the last quarter of this story was simply fabulous and addicting. I was breathless from all the action, deception and revelations. And the discovery of the real villain was so interesting.In retrospective, ACOTAR was seriously such a brilliant book in my opinion! I’m now so excited to dive into the second novel, A Court of Mist and Fury! There’s still so much unresolved things that I need answers to.

Review: To be honest i did not pick up this book last year thinking it was an overhyped book. But this year since “A court of mist and fury” had released, i thought of picking up this book. And OH MY LORD!! This book is one of the most fantastic book i have read this year till now. Sarah has written a fantastic book.A perfect plot,perfect world building to die for characters and and amazing story. This story is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Though this book is a retelling it has its own interesting story plots and its own twist and turns.This book just blew my mind.Feyre is such an amazing character. She is bold and a daredevil. At the same time she is caring toward her family and considerate of everyone’s feelings. She is really intelligent and is aware of every situation. Loyal to her feelings she finds herself in really dangerous situations.Each and every character in this book has stole my heart. No character was deemed useless. Each character had their own background and a back story. And each of them were woven together beautifully. I must say it was just flawless to see so many characters intertwined together by the fate they had to face.I found myself loving all the characters. Even the bad boys had my heart. Tamlin is the love interest and oh my God!!! He is just perfect. Not only is he handsome but strong and fierce.He is kind and loving towards all his subjects. The chemistry between Feyre and Tamlin is to die for. It was like i was there in that place with them watching them have all those conversations. I loved to see the slow growth in their relationship. Even the growth of these characters from the first till the last page was really something to appreciate.And can i say i am also in love with Rhysand? He is intriguing but at the same time he seems to be lovable and naughty(which i like). I am really curious to see how his anti hero role progresses.The relationships in this book are really admirable. The relationship between Feyre and her family was really fascinating.The love she had for her elder sisters and for her father was something to really look forward to. She loved them no matter what and thought of them before her. She was always worried for their safety and had done what needed to be done for keeping them safe. I loved the romance between Tamlin and Feyre. It was bitter-sweet. I wanted to be in Fayre’s position. I just wanted to be that character. There is a little bit of adult content but not too much. I felt it was necessary for the story.The world building in this story was remarkable. The world is divide into two. The faerie Realm and the human Realm and none is allowed to visit the other. The history of the faerie world in itself and its history with the humans was really rich and fascinating. It left me intrigued wanting to know more of it. The world and the magic was not at all hard to understand.It just flowed on beautifully.All in all i am in love with this book. It is probably the best book i have read till now. I am completely obsessed. Highly recommend this book to all the fantasy lovers out there. It is a must read. An intriguing tale of love,hate and magic. I am really excited to read the next book in this trilogy. A really enjoyable and lovable book if you ever loved fairy tales.Video review- […]
