A review? Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure, hi!
So I'm sorry I've been away... Again...
EXAMS BE HAPPENING Y'ALL BUT HERE I AM, OKAY, I'M BACK!
So, for the longest time I've been reading A Court of Thorns and Roses (shortened to ACOTAR a lot) and it's taken me so long simply because I haven't had the time to read anything at all. However, in the past week I haven't been able to put it down and I finally finished it today!
For those who have not heard of this book ACOTAR is about a Girl called Feyre (pronounced Fay-ruh) who is mortal and takes the life of a fae and as a result of this she gets taken beyond the wall and held captive due to terms of a treaty. She starts to develop feelings for her captor until THE BIGGEST TWIST IN THE HISTORY OF EVER HAPPENS AND YOUR MIND GETS BLOWN!
When I first spoke to Ren about this she was raving about how good it was a said that it was a kinda creative adaptation of Beauty and the Beast which I could definitely see influences of this throughout. If Maas did use this as a creative adaptation, the way that she has molded it to become her own and the spin she has put on it is beautiful! Safe to say, the world that she has written makes me want to live in it (but avoid the attor and the night court at all costs).As most of you know, I am a sucker for any book that features the fae but this one especially. The imagery of the fae was just so vivid and beautifully written.
I'm so sad that I missed her at Cheltenham Literature festival last year but this is definitely one to read.
If you're a fan of the fae or series such as The Mortal Instruments, Delirium or Vampire academy, I think you'd enjoy this.
I give it 4 STARS!
***** SPOILERY SECTION *****
So at the start I didn't feel like the pace fully picked up until Feyre got sent away and that when I started to really enjoy this book.
The twist being Tamlin's curse shocked me to my core and I just had to keep reading to see how she would solve it and not die.
Rhys as a character, I love I don't know why but there's something about him that makes me want to know more and , most importantly, WHERE HE WENT!?
My biggest question now is.... Will Feyre want to be with Rhys instead. When they kissed in the hallway it seemed to me that even though she was resisting, she was considering it the whole time. AND she still agreed to see him one week every month. Something is suspicious there.
THE ANSWER TO THE RIDDLE WAS LOVE.... DIDN'T SEE THAT ONE!
Honestly I thought it was Amarantha herself which was the answer and then the stone heart twist too. My poor mortal heart couldn't take it.
So, so good
