A Court Of Silver Flames (ACOSF) by Sarah J Maas Book Review

4/30/2021

Disclaimer: This review is written by a cranky reviewer and contains SPOILERS
Book: ACOSF
Author: Sarah J Maas
Genre: Fantasy
Age: For readers 17 and up (I read this as a 16 year old and that’s my fault but would recommend this for 17 and up)
Rating: 3/5 stars

I tried so hard to hate this book like I hated the rest of the Acotar series (read my Acowar rant review here) but honestly, it wasn’t as bad. Ngl, I really enjoyed some parts (even if it pains me to admit that). All thanks to Nesta who shined in the book. As well as Gwyn and Emerie and even Cassian at times. HOWEVER, the other idiot moron characters in this book (cough cough RHYSAND and AMREN) made me tick off 2 stars.
Before you all scream at me like: “If you hate this series so much why do you read it?”. Basically I was curious about Nesta and I secretly like writing rant reviews and reading books I hate because I have no life and sometimes I like to torture myself by reading books I know I will dislike. 😅

Ok since I know I’m going to be really harsh and picky with this book, let’s first talk about the GOOD things in this book:

Nesta- I saw a lot of people hate her because she was mean and blah blah. Yah she is mean, but you all seem to eat up toxic bad boys who are incredibly selfish and rude. How come when it comes to Nesta it all changes? Personally I think it makes her character interesting.. At least she’s not just sitting, radiating positivity and kindness but doing nothing else like miss Garden Girl over there. 🙄 ✋
How there wasn’t toooo much Feysand: I am so glad we got minimal Feysand scenes in this book. THANK THE LORDS! WHOOO
Friendship: Best part of this book was Nesta, Gwyn and Emerie. End of story.
Blood Rite: Best part of action this whole book had. Wished it lasted longer but SJM would rather place importance on other irrelevant scenes.

Now it’s time for the cranky (crankier) part of the review:

What I didn’t like:
Rhysand 🤢 :

This character brings me to such fury when even his name is mentioned (Someone on Goodreads stated that his name is mentioned 791 times and that is 791 times I contemplated chucking the book across the room). Am I getting overworked and being dramatic over a fictional character? Most certainly yes. I just can’t help it. His stupid, ignorant and rude behavior irk me in a way no other character has ever done.
His attitude to Nesta is just downright mean. He literally has nothing better to do than kick her when she’s already down. Every word he speaks to Nesta is patronizing and condescending.
There was this appalling quote in the book: “Her and Rhysand and the baby. Rhysand--her brother. That’s what he was, wasn’t he?” What bs is this? Brother my as*. He didn’t do ONE THING for Nesta. “Any offering Rhysand threw her way was solely out of love for Feyre”. We’ve already established that Rhysand doesn’t give a crap for Nesta- he only tries to help her because she is Feyre’s sister. That much is obvious. And that’s fine. Nesta wasn’t the nicest to Feyre and so Rhysand doesn’t owe her extra kindness. But does he have to go out of his way to make her feel insignificant and hated? Especially when she’s struggling? AND YOU’RE TELLING ME that SJM had to spout Rhysand’s perfectness and kindness through Nesta’s mouth? How insulting! 😒 This is the man who forced Nesta to go to some camp not because he wanted to see her better, but because he was humiliated at Nesta spending 500 gold coins at some bar. So his plan of action was to demolish an ENTIRE VILLAGE where people ACTUALLY LIVE. Who does that? He just destroyed a whole village worth of people’s homes! THIS is the man who Nesta praised at the end, even though we all know that it’s not deserved. Rhysand did not help Nesta. He insulted her every opening he could get. He does not deserve praise from Nesta’s mouth. At least not now. Because that quote was just so sudden. A few chapters ago, Nesta still hated Rhysand and now she’s calling him her brother? Perhaps this quote would have been better suited to put in the sequel to this book?
Hiding that Feyre’s pregnancy would kill her was a really bad move on Rhysand’s part. Feyre had a right to know. And when Nesta told Feyre, Rhysand was like “Get Nesta out of this city. Right now. I’ll kill her” blah blah. Well at least someone had the courage to tell Feyre the potential threat. If she had not, then Feyre would have given birth less than a month later all happy and then figured out on that day that she would die.
But what makes that decision to not tell Feyre such a hypocritical decision on Rhysand’s part is that earlier in the book when he announced Feyre’s pregnancy, he eyed Nesta threateningly as if she would suddenly attack Feyre and kill her and her baby (what is with Rhysand and villainizing Nesta?). But the funny thing is that Rhysand is the threat here, by not telling Feyre about her own impending death. Yet he hypociritcally glares at Nesta instead. Like what?? 😑

Amren:

Don’t even get me started on this infuriating woman. She constantly shamed Nesta for getting together with Cassian. (And then our feminist king Rhysand agreed with Amren when she was slu* shaming Nesta in the earlier parts of the book). And she constantly insults Nesta’s appearance. We get it, Amren. You’re not exactly helping.
When Nesta apologized to Amren, Amren then make some irrelevant comment that had nothing to do with Nesta’s apology. PLUS when Nesta apologized, Amren should have apologized too. Amren hurt Nesta a lot and was very rude and obnoxious to her as well.

Elain:

Spoiler Alert (Not really): Elain is still a gardener with the personality of a doorknob. But now she’s not just any irrelevant doorknob, she’s a hypocritical one too. The way she acted….No. Just no. When ELAIN was not speaking all of Acowar because of her trauma, I didn’t see Nesta give up on her? Nesta was there for her every. single. day. So why is it, that when Nesta needs help, Elain doesn’t care enough for her sister to help her? WHY DOESN’T SHE GET OFF HER HIGH HORSE AND HELP HER SISTER WHEN SHE CLEARLY NEEDS HER?! Before Nesta called her a useless garden person in this story, Elain clearly could have visited Nesta (there was no hard feelings then). But noooo Elain is just lazy to put in the effort to help her sister. She would rather bake cookies and water plants than visit her sister and be there for her. Sure, she might have visited her sister once or twice and Nesta probably yelled at her. But you can’t just give up after that. This is your SISTER we’re talking about. Nesta will not open up with just one or two pity visits. It takes time but Elain nor anyone else in this book put in the effort. Nesta was willing to put that effort for Elain even when Elain ignored her for months and wouldn’t speak in Acowar. It makes me sad to see that Elain never put in enough effort to be there for Nesta.

Cassian:

Mostly, I liked Cassian. But I kind of hate how Cassian isn’t ready to hear that Rhysand is not some flawless god. Nesta could utter two words about him (all very valid especially after the way he treats her) and Cassian would get so angry at her-like downright mad. Not just Cassian, but why does everyone insist on treating Rhysand like the best thing that ever existed?

Mates:

Ofc since this a SJM book she just had to play the Mate card huh? I hate the whole idea of mates and fate decided soulmates but whatever floats your boat. I can’t wait for the next book where I will have to read the word mate 202850183508245 times! 🤠 (Sarcasm).

Blood Rite Rant:

When Nesta got taken away to the Blood Rite, THE REST OF THEM DIDN’T EVEN CARE?! They only cared about FRIKIN ERIS? Feyre (who was written as someone who cares about her sister so much blah blah) didn’t even bat an eye. Cassian had the only acceptable response to finding her gone.
After Blood Rite ended: Right after Brialyn was defeated, a second later Azriel and Mor came? Could they not have come like a minute earlier? How did they know Cassian and Nesta were at that part of the mountain anyways? And if they did know, why did they not stop the Queen? AND HOW COME THEY WERE NOT HAPPY NESTA WAS ALIVE, WORRIED ABOUT CASSIAN, OR ASKING WHERE GYWN AND EMERIE WERE?! They just walked into the scene so casually as if Nesta and Cassian weren’t all bloody and beat up.

Nesta’s Powers

The amount of disappointment I felt when Nesta lost all her powers at the end was very tangible. Like?? The whole book we NEVER see Nesta use her powers. We see some silver flame in her eyes and then it vanishes a second later. We NEVER even got to explore her powers. And then all too soon it’s gone.

Ladies and gentlemen, do not read this book. JK you can read this book for Nesta and then skip all the parts where Rhysand and Amren show up. Then it would be a great book 😃

Book review for a court of wings and ruin by sarah j maas

Blog Post 12:

Disclaimer: Do NOT read this review if you have not read ACOTAR, ACOMAF or ACOWAR. Book: A Court of Wings and Ruin
Author: Sarah J Maas
Page Number: 699 Pages
Genre: Fantasy
Rating: 3/ 5 stars

Note: If you are a Sarah J Maas stan or an ACOTAR series fan, this review is probably not for you. I just finished reading ACOWAR and I’m using this space to rant.

I’ve never gotten why people get so hyped over Sarah J Maas’s books.

This book only raises my confusion.

I’ll agree that ACOWAR is better than ACOMAF, (even if I gave it a lower rating than ACOMAF), I didn’t like several aspects of this book, hence the 3 stars.

Here is my rant:

Characters:

Rhysand: I’m sorry to say this but he has the personality of a brick. He only does two things in the entirety of the book: Flirt with Feyre or become a martyr and wish to self sacrifice himself. Where did the Rhysand from the first book go? This one only cackles at Feyre’s poor jokes (once or twice is fine but she could do literally anything and Rhysand would smirk, or Feyre would feel laughter down the mating bond and etc.). I know this is a super unpopular opinion.. but Rhysand, for me, is bland in ACOMAF and ACOWAR.
Feyre: A lot of her actions annoyed me. ALSO can we please talk about what a hypocrite she is? She spent the entire second book and even the beginning of the third book complaining how no one in the Spring Court helped her even when they knew she was suffering. Then in the beginning of the third book, there is a guard getting 21 lashes (for no reason but stupid Ianthe set him up). Feyre did NOTHING to help him. She had the full capability of stopping the lashes or at least taking away the guard’s pain with her powers much like how Rhysand did in the first book. But she chose to do nothing. And THEN she had the AUDACITY on the next page to expect an apology from the other guards in the court for letting her suffer in ACOMAF. I was angry because Feyre expected the guard to help her when she’s in pain but she doesn’t extend that courtesy when there was a guard in front of her getting whipped? Hypocrite much? Anyways, onto the next point. I found it hilarious that every time Feyre opened her mouth to speak, everyone else would act as if she was a goddess speaking the most wisest words in the world. In reality, her “words of wisdom” were actually quite plain. Sarah J Maas usually writes this so then she can write in the next sentence: “She felt pride through the mating bond.”. Wow….. Feyre could literally ramble about anything and Rhysand and the Inner Circle would listen to those words as if they were the most precious thing they’ve ever heard. For example, when Feyre and Lucien are running from Lucien’s brother and Cassian and Azriel finally come to the rescue, Feyre says: “I am the High Lady of the Night Court.” The very next sentence was something like: “Feyre could feel the pride coming off of Cassian”. WHY? She merely stated a fact that was less than ten words… Why was Cassian reacting like she stated some fancy monologue?

Another scene that ticked me off was when Feyre ran off to the Suriel without telling Mor where she was going. When Mor got mad at her and told her that she was going out of her mind because she was worried for Feyre, Feyre’s response was so unrelated and unnecessary. She basically spun it back to Mor and was like: SO WHAT?? YOU HAVE FEELINGS FOR AZRIEL! Uhhh… what does that have anything to do with the conversation?
Sidenote: This is getting long but whatever happened to Feyre’s painting skills?
“The movement was so perfect that I knew I’d one day paint it.”
I haven’t seen Feyre paint since she returned from the Spring Court. I get she’s busy with the war and stuff, but she wasn’t too busy to keep from flirting with Rhysand.

Nesta: Loved her… but the “I’m too cool for you” act was getting a bit tiresome by the end
Elain: Is she even relevant to this story?
AMREN: I LOVE HER.. that’s it. No rant here.
Varian: Amren and him were so random. Not everyone needs a love interest.
My Mate: I saw someone say that there were about 200 “My mate” quotes in this book. Every time this “m” word was mentioned, it made me almost rip out my hair. Enough said.
Hybern: When SJM said “Hybern” what did she even mean? Hybern stands for the king, the kingdom, the location, etc. So whenever she just said “Hybern”, which she did countless times, I was so confused. Which meaning of the word was she referencing?
Nesta’s Powers: Am I the only one confused on the specifics of Nesta’s powers? I get her powers are about death but what specifically can she do?
THE ENDING: I could rant about the ending for days! The ending was just so….lame

Hello? I thought this was a high stakes war! And not a single soul dies? Not even Amren who SJM JUST HAD TO REVIVE FROM THE DEAD?! I love Amren but that ending was such a bad way to conclude. It was like a gift wrapped up in bows. Rhysand was dead and there was no way he could have possibly come back to life since he was already Fae. The spell from all the high lords shouldn’t have worked but WHY NOT MAKE IT WORK since you WANT TO GIVE US A PERFECT ENDING!!! Amren literally sacrificed herself and died beautifully. AND THEN SHE CAME TO LIFE AGAIN! It took away the entire meaning of her death! Oh and all the super powerful creatures that were actually somewhat interesting (Bone Carver, Weaver) were killed off in seconds. Wow… just wow. And you’re telling me, that when all those creatures died, Elane magically survived and was able to kill the king? Ok then….

Confusing Plot: I’m so glad that this book actually had a plot unlike ACOMAF and ACOTAR. It had action scenes and actually kept me from going insane and rating this book a one star. The plot made this book interesting. However, the plans in this book made no sense whatsoever. Didn’t Amren tell everyone that if the Bone Carver were to come out of the prison, it would just have to bind itself to a normal Fae body? Then how was it able to come out as the Bone Carver in the end? This is just one of the many things I’m confused about in this book.

To sum it up, I did not particularly love this series. It was ok. I don’t get the hype over these characters because they all seem pretty bland to me. The first book (ACOTAR) was the only good one. It only went downhill from there.

Book review for a court of mist and fury

6/6/2020

Disclaimer: DO NOT read this blog post if you have not read ACOTAR!
Book: A Court of Mist and Fury
Author: Sarah J Maas
Page Number: 656 Pages
Genre: Fantasy
Rating: 3.5 / 5 stars

“When you spend so long trapped in darkness, Lucien, you find that the darkness begins to stare back.”

Ok where do I start? I have so many thoughts on this book….to put it simply, I didn’t enjoy this book as much as the first one. Don’t get me wrong, I was hooked on ACOMAF from the beginning but despite it having a little bit more action than the last one, I found myself downright angry and frustrated to the max at some parts, which I will explain further down in this review.

Synopsis: Post Acotar and the war with Amarantha, Feyre has found herself still traumatized from the events that happened Under the Mountain. In addition, trouble is brewing in Prythian. Amarantha was only the beginning and there are much worse things in store for the Fae. Feyre realizes that she holds the power that may be the key to save them all.

“I was not a pet, not a doll, not an animal.
I was a survivor, and I was strong.
I would not be weak, or helpless again
I would not, could not be broken. Tamed.”

This book made me so furiated at times so right off the bat, here are the things I didn’t like about this book: (Sorry if this comes off as harsh- no hate to those who love ACOMAF but in my opinion, here are the parts I didn’t like about this book)

SJM ruining characters: Can someone please tell SJM that she doesn’t need to ruin characters like Tamlin (And Choal in TOG) in order for us to like her other love interests? It’s so not necessary! It was very obvious that the Tamlin in this book is a completely different character than the one in ACOTAR. Why? What was the need to ruin him? Falling out of love is perfectly normal… there was no need to demolish Tamlin’s character to get Feyre and Rhysand together. This just angers me. Authors should be able to make us fall for the other love interest without destroying the first love interest. This was just plain manipulation and left me with no choice but to ship Feyre and Rhysand (Still love Rhysand and Feyre though).
Feyre: Honestly I could rant about her all day. In the beginning, my heart pained for her and what she was going through. That sympathy vanished soon enough. First of all, did it not even cross her mind that Tamlin was going through PTSD from Under the Mountain as well? Rhys, Feyre and Tamlin all suffered and were reflecting on in their own ways. Tamlin’s first instinct was to protect Feyre because he couldn’t do so before. Rhys acted differently because he experienced something different. He let Feyre make her own choices because he understood what it was like to be unable to make decisions for yourself. Tamlin and Rhysand went through different things and so it is natural they responded in different ways after it. Then Feyre had the NERVE to compare them? I get one or two comparisons but she compared the two of the males once every page. Ugh Tamlin would never let me go along on this mission but Rhysand is perfect and he lets me go along! Sigh. It got so tedious… like we get it! SJM obviously put all those comparisons to show how much Rhysand is Mr. Perfect while showing that Tamlin is a piece of trash. The reader can make these comparisons by themselves….

Spoiler: It was completely unacceptable for Tamlin to lock up Feyre and I would do the same thing Feyre did if I was her. But what I’m mad about is how much Feyre victimized herself while portraying Tamlin as the bad guy when both of them went through horrible experiences.

Plot is nonexistent: If I thought ACOTAR had little plot, this one’s plot was nonexistent. At least in ACOTAR, I could give you a clear step by step summary of what happens in that book. ACOMAF was all over the place. First of all, where was the action? Where was the villain? There’s some awesome, powerful villain in Hybern and we only see him in the last 20 pages? And when we do see him, he just lets Feyre and everyone go as soon as they come in because that’s realistic. Excuse me? I was promised a very powerful King. Seriously, what a missed opportunity! I was expecting an epic fight scene with the King of Hybern. SJM writes fight scenes really well (Throne of Glass fight scenes are very well written), so it struck me as a surprise when there was no action. This whole book was basically Feyre realizing her feelings for Rhysand. (It was fun at first but when the whole book revolves around this romance, it became beyond boring.)
Mr. Perfect Rhysand: Ok, don’t get me wrong, I love Rhysand but where was the mysterious man from the first book. The Rhysand in the previous book was cunning and mysterious and interested me. The Rhysand in this book bored me in the second half. Gone was his deviousness and mysteriousness and in came his “perfect” qualities. In the effort to make us all love Rhysand and hate Tamlin, SJM made Rhysand too perfect, with no flaws. I wish he was just like the Rhys in the first book and then later in the ACOMAF, we get past his shells and see his true self. Instead, right away in the first hundred pages we suddenly got introduced to a new Rhys.
SPOILERS (Skip this paragraph): The dream where Rhysand knew Feyre was his mate was disappointing. I just hoped that Rhysand had taken time to fall in love with her after he got to know her in ACOMAF. Instead it was kind of like he suspected the whole time she was his mate and it just felt less romantic…. (Also when does Feyre feel the mating bond? Rhysand felt it at the end of ACOTAR and doubled in pain because of it. Will this not happen to Feyre or will it happen in ACOWAR?)
Too Graphic: Uhhh chapter 55? Chapter 48? Chapter 2? Too graphic and I’m just going to leave this there as a warning for those who haven’t read the book yet.

Questions (SKIP FOR SPOILERS):

Ash Arrows: In the first book I thought it made it clear that ash arrows kill the Fae no matter where it’s pierced. Yet, in this book when Rhys was pierced with one, he didn’t die.
Is having a Mate rare? I thought in the first book it said mates were rare.. But maybe I read wrong. If they are rare, it doesn’t make much sense to make Elain and Lucien mates….

Sidenote/ kinda spoiler : Unrelated, but was anyone else laughing every time Feyre said “my mate”? I found it funny because she said this every two sentences while longingly looking at Rhysand… haha.

I know it seems like I hated every aspect of this book but there are actually many parts I enjoyed, which is why I’m giving this book 3 stars:
“‘Smile again,’ he whispered. I hadn’t smiled for him. Ever. Or laughed. Under the Mountain, I had never grinned, never chuckled. And afterward … And this male before me … my friend.. For all that he had done, I had never given him either. Even when I had just … I had just painted something. On him. For him. I’d—painted again. So I smiled at him, broad and without restraint. ‘You’re exquisite,’ he breathed.”

The side characters: I need more of Mor (haha get it), Nesta, AMRENNN (love her attitude and wished we got to see more of her fight scenes) and Cassian. (I left out Elain because she has the personality of a doorknob). I loved these characters and found myself more invested in their stories than Feyre’s.
Feyre’s PTSD: Hands off to SJM! This was very well written and I really did sympathize with Feyre (until she started acting like she was the only one who was allowed to feel pain and Tamlin was supposed to be perfect).
THE ENDING: The real reason for the three stars. AHHHH!!! Except I didn’t like how the King who was supposed to be a scary villain was really just a big flop and didn’t do anything.
Rhysand and Feyre: They were so cute in the first half of this story! And then it became boring after a while because this whole book was just about romance but I enjoyed Feysand nonetheless.

“To the stars who listen—and the dreams that are answered.”

I know it sounds like I downright hated this book but I actually thought it was ok. I didn’t love it and I didn’t hate it completely (except for a few parts). ACOMAF is definitely worth a try! Most people love it and I really tried hard to love it too but I guess it just wasn’t for me. I’m still going to try ACOWAR and see if it’s better than this book.

“‘You will feel that way every day for the rest of your life,’ Rhysand said. This close, I could smell the sweat on him, the sea-and-citrus scent beneath it. His eyes were soft. I tried to look away, but he held my chin firm. [...]“You can either let it wreck you, let it get you killed like it nearly did with the Weaver, or you can learn to live with it.’”

book review for a court of thorn and roses by sarah j maas

5/21/2020

Disclaimer: This blog post is spoiler free except for the parts labelled as spoilers.
Book: A Court of Thorn and Roses (ACOTAR)
Author: Sarah J Maas
Page Number: 415 Pages
Genre: Fantasy
Rating: 4.5 / 5 stars

I just finished ACOTAR and wow…. I loved it! I admit I was a bit skeptical of this book at first because I didn’t like Throne of Glass which is by the same author. This book proved me wrong! I found myself invested in it and I couldn’t put the book down. A few things bothered me in this book but overall I found ACOTAR to be amazing and am DYING to read the next book!

Also was it only me that was reminded of Katniss and the Hunger Games in the beginning? Both Feyre and Katniss loved bow and arrows, set snares and hunted to provide food for their family’s table. It was also said that Isaac set snares while Feyre hunted with her arrows. I couldn’t help but laugh at this! Feyre and Isaac were the dollar tree version of Katniss and Gale.

Synopsis: Nineteen year old Feyre has been hunting for years to feed the mouths of her family. One day she brings back a wolf from her hunt. Little did she know that this wolf was a friend to a dangerous and powerful Fae. Demanding retribution for his dead friend, Feyre is dragged into Prythian, the land of the Fae. Over time Feyre comes to love her captor, Tamlin and is willing to do anything for him. Her love is soon put on a test as a deadly enemy arises.

“‘My father once told me that I should let my sister imagine a better life- a better world. And I told him that there was no such thing.’ [...] ‘I never understood-because I couldn’t...couldn’t believe that it was even possible.’ I swallowed, lowering my hand. ‘Until now.’
His throat bobbed. His kiss that time was deep and thorough, unhurried and intent. [...] It was the happiest moment of my life” (Maas 230).

What I didn’t like about this book:

Feyre: I could not stand her stubbornness at times. At page 185-190, she irritated me so much that I had to put down my book for a few minutes and fume. Tamlin told Feyre to stay inside the house yet she insisted on leaving it and going against his warnings. Spoilers: This was incredibly stupid. Who did she think she was? She was entering a party filled with Faeries that would shred her neck in a matter of seconds if they saw her. Her stubbornness was too much! Why was it so hard to listen to Tamlin and Lucien? All she is doing is putting Tamlin and Lucien in compromising positions where they have to come and save her.
Not much Action: This book lacked action and that is the main reason why I am only giving this book 4.5 stars out of 5. I love romance as much as the next person but not if it's the only thing happening in the first 300 pages of a book. I like my books with fantasy action with only a hint of romance. Spoilers: Even after she was taken captive by Amarantha, there was only action during the trials, which didn’t last too long.
Rhysand: Spoilers: Ok I know this will probably change since I know Feyre will end up with him, I did not like him. Besides I really ship Feyre and Tamlin!!! Why does Sarah J Maas always switch the main love interests all the time? First Throne of Glass and now this. Rhysand made for a nice villain and I have a love-hate relationship with him. I love his villain side but I do not like him with Feyre. At least not yet. Maybe my opinion will change in the second book.
The Second-hand embarrassment: The second-hand embarrassment from this book was so real that I had to put my book down and stare at the wall for minutes. I literally could not continue reading after these scenes (Spoilers):

When Rhysand went into her mind and spilled her thoughts
When Rhysand made her drink the Faerie wine and entertain the court by dirty dancing

What I did like:

“Because loving Tamlin was the only thing I had left, the only thing I couldn’t sacrifice” (Maas 401).

Beauty and the Beast: Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairy tale ever! It’s also my third favorite Disney movie of all time! So maybe I’m a little biased when I say I loved the main plot of this story. I really liked seeing the similarities between ACOTAR and the original Beauty and the Beast. However, at the same time, this book was vastly different from the fairytale and had original aspects that made me really like this book!

At the beginning I was confused as to why Tamlin was being so nice to Feyre and allowing her to stay at his house when she killed his friend but at the end it all made sense.

The Trials: I loved the first trial! It was the only action in this entire book and it was written well. The worm scene put me on edge and I couldn’t put my book down!

Tamlin: While I wished that he were a bit meaner and more beasty just like the original Beauty and the Beast story, where he turns nice only after Belle changes his heart, I still loved Tamlin. I ship him and Feyre a lot! Spoiler: Stupid Rhysand...why do you have to come in and ruin this ship?!

“He smiled at me still, broadly and without restraint or hesitation. Isaac had never smiled at me like that. Isaac had never made my breath catch, just a little bit.”

“A Court of Thorn and Roses” by Sarah J Maas is a really good book! I would highly recommend ACOTAR for Beauty and the Beast lovers! I’m excited to see what ACOMAF, the second book, brings!
