A Court of Thorns and Roses Paperback – 18 August 2020

To be honest i did not pick up this book last year thinking it was an overhyped book. But this year since "A court of mist and fury" had released, i thought of picking up this book. And OH MY LORD!! This book is one of the most fantastic book i have read this year till now. Sarah has written a fantastic book.A perfect plot,perfect world building to die for characters and and amazing story. This story is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Though this book is a retelling it has its own interesting story plots and its own twist and turns.This book just blew my mind.Feyre is such an amazing character. She is bold and a daredevil. At the same time she is caring toward her family and considerate of everyone's feelings. She is really intelligent and is aware of every situation. Loyal to her feelings she finds herself in really dangerous situations.Each and every character in this book has stole my heart. No character was deemed useless. Each character had their own background and a back story. And each of them were woven together beautifully. I must say it was just flawless to see so many characters intertwined together by the fate they had to face.I found myself loving all the characters. Even the bad boys had my heart. Tamlin is the love interest and oh my God!!! He is just perfect. Not only is he handsome but strong and fierce.He is kind and loving towards all his subjects. The chemistry between Feyre and Tamlin is to die for. It was like i was there in that place with them watching them have all those conversations. I loved to see the slow growth in their relationship. Even the growth of these characters from the first till the last page was really something to appreciate.And can i say i am also in love with Rhysand? He is intriguing but at the same time he seems to be lovable and naughty(which i like). I am really curious to see how his anti hero role progresses.The relationships in this book are really admirable. The relationship between Feyre and her family was really fascinating.The love she had for her elder sisters and for her father was something to really look forward to. She loved them no matter what and thought of them before her. She was always worried for their safety and had done what needed to be done for keeping them safe. I loved the romance between Tamlin and Feyre. It was bitter-sweet. I wanted to be in Fayre's position. I just wanted to be that character. There is a little bit of adult content but not too much. I felt it was necessary for the story.The world building in this story was remarkable. The world is divide into two. The faerie Realm and the human Realm and none is allowed to visit the other. The history of the faerie world in itself and its history with the humans was really rich and fascinating. It left me intrigued wanting to know more of it. The world and the magic was not at all hard to understand.It just flowed on beautifully.All in all i am in love with this book. It is probably the best book i have read till now. I am completely obsessed. Highly recommend this book to all the fantasy lovers out there. It is a must read. An intriguing tale of love,hate and magic. I am really excited to read the next book in this trilogy. A really enjoyable and lovable book if you ever loved fairy tales.Video review- [...]

The first half of the story may be quite slow but the second half has compensated with more pace in the story. The love that Feyre expresses are very touchy. Also I feel that author could have used situations where Tamlin also expresses his feelings in more touchy way. That’s the only thing I felt like missing. I really loved the Rhysand character. It felt like, “Man, I should have been the Rhysand in this story.” Altogether I loved reading this book and Thanks for the author who created this novel. I hope the other books in this series are equally enjoyable.

Book was sent in plastic wrapping so it arrived in great condition. The pages quality is good and no torn pages or misprints were present. Story is great and I enjoyed the book overall.Book actually smelled like roses in the first few pages which I’m unsure whether it was scented or just like that, but still it felt very nice.If you want to get into the Sarah J. Maas universe, then ACOTAR is the best book to get started.

I have to start by saying that this book consumed me wholly and I devoured it completely. While the first few chapters slowly grew on me, the rest owned my nights, days and every available unoccupied thought. There is something about fantasy fiction, that just expands my imagination to untraceable lengths I don't remember the last book that I finished in five days.A story about a nineteen year old girl Feyre, who kills a wolf unknowing of its consequences. A beast comes to capture her and takes her back to his lands to never return to her family. Is the beast really all beast? Is this magical land really all that which meets the eye? Are the legends she heard as a child, just legends?The descriptions of this magical world was simply spell binding. I drank each and every scene literally out of the palm of the author's hand. The characters Feyre, Tamlin, Lucien, Rhys made me laugh, weep and anger at every scene. The dialogues, emotions all wrapped up so full bodied. To the extent that each conversation I closed the page on, kept playing in my head until I opened the book again.The plot moves efficiently and effortlessly through till the climax scene and beyond. The main themes love, friendship, loyalty, family, freedom, righteousness, sacrifice are just a few to be named.This is a masterfully crafted piece of work, I can't wait to read the other four parts. For all those who love fantasy romance, please don't miss out on this one.

It's been a while since I had been drowned in a riot of emotions while reading a book. This book made me go through every single emotion, pain, the highs & lows the characters went through. Though Tam and Feyre's love story was the major plot that drove this book, it's been really awesome to read the other stories as well and I'm glad that they were all given equal importance and depth. Lucien's character as the emissary was very well balanced that he wasn't too rude to be a rogue but also had a rough edge to his character. The way Nesta changed or rather her character depth was revealed was fantastic. Amarantha's character was truly hateful and kudos to the author for making me despise her with vengeance. The trials were so ruthless, but also, the way they were captured made me feel like watching a movie playing rather than reading from the pages. I'm so glad that I started out on this series late as I wouldn't have even been able to hold myself back while I await the next part to be released. A very well-deserved 5-star. It's a must-read recommendation for all fantasy romance lovers.

It's a good book but they actually story starts only from chapter 30 , the first of the book is a little slow .
