“I was as unburdened as a piece of dandelion fluff, and he was the wind that stirred me about the world.”
I finally dipped my toe into the ACOTAR water in June 2024, and it's taken me this long to write my review. I don't even have the excuse that I wanted to finish the series first, because I've still only read the first two books. 🙉
As with the first book in any complicated fantasy series, it focuses a lot on the world-building. In A Court of Thorns and Roses, we spend the majority of our time in the Spring Court with Feyre, Tamlin, and Lucien. If you take away the fantasy, Tamlin and Lucien are basically a couple of psychopaths! 😂 I hated Feyre's sisters, I wasn't a fan of Lucien, and Tamlin, in my opinion, is just weird!
I discovered a few of us who hadn't read this, and so we created a Bookstagram chat and called ourselves the ACOTAR virgins. 😂😂😂
Is the hype worth it? Absolutely. Would I recommend it? 100% - obviously if you're a fantasy lover of course!
Watch this space for my review of A Court of Mist and Fury - coming sooner than you might think!
About the Book
When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a terrifying creature arrives to demand retribution. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she knows about only from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not truly a beast, but one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled her world.
At least, he’s not a beast all the time.
As she adapts to her new home, her feelings for the faerie, Tamlin, transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie she’s been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But something is not right in the faerie lands. An ancient, wicked shadow is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it, or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.
