A review by bella613
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
adventurous
hopeful
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated

This was fine. I did enjoy it during some parts but with how popular it is I guess I expected it to be a bit different. I didn't know anything about it going into it. I expected to get sucked in a little more, whether or not it was good literary work, since that's usually the case with fantasy romance. But it took me a long time to care at all about the main characters and by the end I still didn't feel very strongly connected to the story.
The writing was ok, but not impressive. The world building and character development was meh. The chemistry wasn't really there for me. But I did like that the FL showed a lot of weakness along with her strength. Sometimes this type of book creates such unbelievable characters that I just get too annoyed. I wouldn't say I related to her but she did feel realistic and I liked that she needed a great deal of help. And that people helped her for their own reasons and not just "she's pretty" or ~love~
I'd like to get to know her sisters more and I liked the characters of Alice and Reese (don't know if I spelt that correctly since I listened to the audiobook)
I will keep going with the series :)
