A Court of Thorns & Roses 🌹 
Not much I can say that hasn’t been said already so I’ll stick to bullet points.

🔅What I liked:
  • the bickering between Feyre & Rhysand >>> 
  • the slow burn of Tamlin & Feyre’s relationship
  • Lucien’s with
🔅Didn’t like:
  • the constant “growling” and “snarling” descriptions
  • Feyre’s family being taken care of by Tamlin to the point of immense wealth, this trope, the “rags to riches overnight” takes away an opportunity for main characters to make it on their own. 
  • Since ACOTAR is so hyped up I am aware that Feyre and Rhysand have the Mating Bond, ACOTAR slowly begins the buildup of romantic tension between them so I was disturbed with the humiliation Rhys puts her though with the dancing, intoxication and sheer gowns. Im hoping now that the mating bond has been formed Rhys is shown to respect and value Feyre.
