A review by omqchristi
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
5.0
Readability: 5/5
Plot: 4/5
Recommend: Yes
A Court of Thorns and Roses, or ACOTAR, is a retelling of the classic Beauty and the Beast. Set in a world where faeries and humans are separated, Feyre, an artistic huntress, finds herself stuck in their land (Prythian). As she comes to terms with her feelings for the High Lord, Tamlin, she must also face a powerful force threatening the lives of faeries and humans.
When I began reading this book, I didn't think I would love this book. Yes, I do love fairytale retellings, but I had heard a lot of stuff that made this book seem like it would be hard to read. Yes, there were moments where I questioned the reasoning for certain things, but they didn't deter me from reading.
I was pleasantly surprised with this book. There are times when I didn't want to stop reading at all, and even though some things are cliche, (hey, it's a fairytale), I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and look forward to finishing this trilogy. If you love fairytale retellings (as much as I do), definitely pick this book up and try it for yourself.
