A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas (mild spoilers)

When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution for it. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she only knows about from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal, but Tamlin—one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled their world.

As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow grows over the faerie lands, and Feyre must find a way to stop it... or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever

This book was amazing! I am so glad I read it! I’d been wanting to read this book for the longest. It’s been sitting on my TBR for months and months. It wasn’t until I found out about the book signing that’s on May 5th that I was pushed to read it.

So I knew I would love A Court of Thorns and Roses because it’s Sarah J Maas. Her Throne of Glass series is one of my FAVORITE series (go read it now!). 

When I first started the book it took me a little while to get into it. It always takes me a little while to get into a brand new book where I don’t already know the characters. Once I got into it though, I could not put this book down. The story is based off of Beauty and the Beast but we are in a world that have fairies in it. I don’t usually read books that have a lot of fairies in it but I loved this one.  

Our main character is Feyre who gets dragged into the world of the fairies as a consequence of something she has done. The fairy who is responsible for taking her into this world is Tamlin. I enjoyed seeing how their story played out a lot. Although there were times when Feyre was a bit annoying, I still really liked her.

Staying with Tamlin is Lucien and Alis. I realllyyyy enjoyed any scene that had Lucien in it! He is one of my favorite characters from the book.

Although this book is based on Beauty and the Beast, there were a lot of twist and turns for me! 

Here is a plethora of feels in gif form:





  
 





































Overall I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. It was amazing, please go pick it up!

THIS NEXT SECTION IS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE READ THE BOOK. SPOILERS AHEAD. I REPEAT....

By the end of the book there is another character who people ship with Feyre. So Tamlin and Rhysand! I just want to talk a little about where I stand between these ships. I have no idea who I ship! Of course I love Tamlin but Rhysand is interesting. He does bad  things but I feel like he can be redeemed. I say this because of what he did at the end of the book when it came to fighting Amarantha. A lot of the things he did also helped Feyre in some way. I want to get to know him more before I choose but at the moment I am leaning more towards Tamlin!
