A Court of Thorns and Roses Book Review - No Spoilers
Plot Summary
In A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas, Feyre Archeron, a mortal huntress, kills a wolf in the woods, only to discover it was a faerie in disguise. As punishment, she is taken to the faerie realm of Prythian, bound by a magical treaty. There, she becomes entangled in the politics and dangers of the faerie courts, particularly the Spring Court, ruled by the enigmatic Tamlin. As Feyre navigates this new world, she uncovers dark secrets and faces challenges that test her strength and resolve.
Why I Love This Book
I love how this book blends elements of classic fairy tales with a rich, immersive fantasy world. The world-building is intricate, with each court in Prythian having its own unique characteristics and politics. Feyre's character development is compelling; she evolves from a survival-focused mortal to a strong, determined individual who challenges the norms of the faerie realm. The romance is slow-burning and filled with tension, adding depth to the story without overshadowing the central plot. The themes of love, sacrifice, and identity resonate deeply, making this a memorable read.

However, be aware that the book contains themes of violence and trauma, which may be intense for some readers.
