A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

Gonna be honest... I don't think this book is very good and can't comprehend how there was so much hype around it.
- The world-building is nonexistent (I can't comprehend how there can be a fantasy book without at least properly explaining how it works - and not just 'faes here, humans there, there was a war')
- The writing is way too simple for its own good and even the romance scenes read all the same way
- The plot was very corny for me and I kept thinking of Twilight (maybe this is the Twilight Saga of 2010s); I mean, 'guy kidnaps girl, girl finds out that guy is not that bad, guy and girl fall in love, girl leaves and wants to come back' is not really original
- Amarantha wasn't there to be an interesting character, but it should; it just was portrayed as the generic villain to make the story move forward.
Overall, didn't really make me feel wanting to read the the rest of the books... It's almost like I can guess what will happen on them
