A Court of Thorns and Roses - Sarah J. Maas

♥♥♥♥

Oh man, this book took me a while to get in, but once I got over my reading slump, it sucked me in and the story really worked for me.

This book has been on my TBR since I found out it was a beauty and the beast retelling, which is one of my all time favourite stories. So of course when I finally got round to reading it, it was just plain bad luck that I was going through a reading slump. It felt like the book took ages to kick off. So I did what I always did, put it down and went to one of my go to authors to pull me out of it, which didn’t work.

After finding a different type of book, it got me back on track. And boy did ACOTAR then finally kick off, the story pulled me in, and true to Maas’ writing style the characters are well written and you find yourself rooting for them.

There isn’t a lot that you can say about this book since it is the first in the series and I am really scared since I haven’t read the rest yet that whatever I say in the review will be a spoiler.

I would definitely recommend this, just look at the cover it is absolutely gorgeous

Crown of Midnight - Sarah J. Maas

♥♥♥♥

The second book in the Thrown of Glass series. There were times were I could feel this was just a filler book, but still a lot of action. Definitely had more world building in this book.

I also liked getting to know Chaol and Dorian better in this book. Chaol becomes a stronger character and Dorian discovers something about himself that changes him from an ordinary prince into someone who has more power in him then he thought.

There was major plot twists that changed the direction of the books.

Definitely a very engaging series. Can’t wait to continue.

Throne of Glass - Sarah J. Maas

♥♥♥♥

This was my first book by Sarah J. Maas, and I enjoyed it so much. I bought it on Audible and the narrator was well chosen as she brought Celaena to live for me.

It follows Celaena a trained assassin who is serving a life sentence in a work camp who is offered the opportunity to get out of the camp if she agrees to take part in a challenge to become the King’s champion.

I loved Celaena, she wasn’t whiny about her circumstances, and she went out and tried to change her situation. The love triangle was interesting and I couldn’t decide who she has to end up with.

The characters are all likable. Definitely a great first book to a series. Can’t wait for the next.
