Why I Should Never, EVER Have Read A Court of Thorns and Roses {Sarah J. Maas}

Why I Should Never, EVER Have Read A Court of Thorns and Roses {Sarah J. Maas}

I hate the fantasy genre. I know this about myself. I didn’t enjoy Harry Potter. I didn’t enjoy House on The Cerulean Sea. I don’t do faeries, I don’t do sprites, I don’t do talking owls or whatever that owl in Harry Potter is.

Remarkably Bright Creatures with a talking octopus? Absolutely loved it. The talking octopus was the best part of the entire book. Go figure.

So obviously you’ve heard of the A Court of Thorns and Roses series. It’s everywhere. It has an actual CULT following. You can’t scroll Bookstagram without seeing post after post about how amazing this series is. Well, until you check Book Coffee Happy’s Insta that is 😉

Goodreads Synopsis of A Court of Thorns and Roses {Sarah J. Maas}

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

At least, he’s not a beast all the time.

As she adapts to her new home, her feelings for the faerie, Tamlin, transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie she’s been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But something is not right in the faerie lands. An ancient, wicked shadow is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it, or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.

From bestselling author Sarah J. Maas comes a seductive, breathtaking book that blends romance, adventure, and faerie lore into an unforgettable read.

My Review of A Court of Thorns and Roses {Sarah J. Maas}

WHY I thought I should read book #1 of this series (A Court of Thorns and Roses) I’ll never know. I was doomed from the start. I obviously had FOMO and just wanted to see what the hype was all about.

I listened to it as an audiobook and made it 33% through which really…is 33% more than I ever would have imagined I would last!

It wasn’t bad, it was just…fantasy. People turning into animals, magic all over the place, etc. I kept googling terms that I assume are well known to people who enjoy this genre but I had no idea what they were.

I did hear that this book gets hot and steamy which is honestly what I think made me hang on for as long as I did, lol. Love me some steam! 33%, zero steam, talking faeries, aaaaaand I’m out.
