Customer Reviews

How could I have waited years to read this?!!

This was such a great book! One of the best -THE BEST- Beauty & the Beast retellings ever! The world building was phenomenal. The romance was SWOON! And the characters were the best. Feyre is amazing! Love Lucien a lot! Even Amanthra was a great villian! So good! I am officially a Sarah J. Mass fan!

It was okay

This book is definitely a beauty and the beast retelling. The girl has serious Stokholm syndrome. The love seemed so force.

This book is *chefs kiss*!

Everything about this book is perfect, from beginning to end! Real page turner, and I loved every bit of it. I cannot say a bad thing about this book. This is definitely one of the best books I have ever read and I’m really looking forward to the rest of the series.

Good book

I liked the book and the story. It started to drag a bit towards the end and I got bored with it, but was glad a kept with it

Starts out slow but it's worth it

02/2021 How i missed so many red flags with this book. Flags that should have told me what was to come in the next book. And SJM is queen of foreshadowing. I don't know if it's because I've read the entire series or what, but I really don't like this book as much as I do the other one. Mostly because nothing happens until like 100 pages from the end. And feyre is a little annoying in this one. Great world building and foreshadowing if you really look.

Great Start to a Series that Keeps Getting Better

I am writing this review after my third read of the book, and yup, I still love this book and probably even more than I did before. I remember the first time I read it and being SO sure that I knew where the story was going, and boy was I wrong. In my reread, I can't believe I didn't see what was really coming! This story is so entertaining and easy to read, but be ready for all the feelings!

A wonderful story for trying times

There is nothing like a new world to disappear to. With the inaugural book of this series, Maas builds a world one can simply immerse oneself in. Her characters come to life to tell a story that is engaging, mind-boggling and absolutely stunning. The world becomes your own. The characters your friends. It's not a read you'll regret!

Could Not Put it Down!

This was the first Sarah J. Maas book I ever read and it got me hooked. This series is unbelievably riveting. I finished all four books within a week. If you’re a YA fan, then I highly suggest adding this to your collection. Once you’re done, start on SJM’s Throne of Glass series. You will not be disappointed!!

A Court of Thorns and Roses is a must read after TOG

If you have read anything by Sarah J Maas before, then read on!!! This series is separate from everything that went on in the Throne of Glass series, but gives a sense of nostalgia and love of old characters turned to new again. This book follows Feyre after a hunt gone wrong, and delves deep into the wonderful and horrible world of the Fae beyond the wall. Watch her learn of the world and discover more than what meets the eye.

Angry

I got a paperback instead of a hardcover >:( I paid more FOR the hardcover

The first book in a thrilling trilogy

A fantasy romance book that follows Feyre Archeron as she's stolen to a land of faries as the price for a life. As Feyre navigates her new life, she falls into the affairs of the faerie kingdoms, love, and, ultimately, her destiny. An exciting first book to another series by popular teen author Sara J. Maas.
