A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses, 1)

✨ My Review of ACOTAR ✨ Okay… I finally read A Court of Thorns and Roses and I totally get the hype. It starts off a little slow — I’ll admit I wasn’t sure where it was going at first. But WOW, once it picks up, I was hooked. The buildup? Chef’s kiss. I loved watching the character growth slowly unfold — you can just feel that something bigger is coming, and I’m 100% here for it. The world is magical, the tension is real, and the vibes are very much "fairy tale for grown-ups... with teeth." 🌹🖤 Other Reviews From My Imagination (but let’s be honest… these could be real): 🧚‍♀️ “I started this book because I thought it was about fairies… now I’m emotionally compromised and deeply invested in everyone's trauma.” — a reader who didn’t sign up for feelings 🔥 “10/10 would risk my mortal life again for mysterious fae men with secrets.” — probably me 📖 “Was I confused at first? Yes. Did I care once things got spicy and plotty? Absolutely not.” — someone who stayed up until 3am 👑 “This book is like a slow-burn fantasy soap opera and I ate it up like popcorn.” — your future self, once you’re 3 books deep If you’re into fantasy, romance, morally gray characters, and layered world-building, give ACOTAR a shot. Just be warned — it may awaken a slight obsession you weren’t ready for. 💫

5, 6, 8, 5, 6, 5, 7.5 (Amy's?)

The story line is enthralling and keeps you wanting more. Sarah J. Maas does an excellent job with sexual suspense between the main characters. Can't wait to read the next one!

I hesitated and I hesitated to read this book. This is my first SJM book. I hesitated to read ACOTAR for fear it wouldn’t live up to the hype, that it wouldn’t enthrall me the way it did others. This is the book that is going to start it all. I’m absolutely obsessed with this world, with this book and with everything in between. I will say it started off slow and it took me a minute to settle in but when I did I really couldn’t put it down. I love Lucien so much he and the Suriel are my favorite characters lol. ACOMAF here I come!

Couldn’t put it down! My first book in fantasy and loved it!
