Fantasy book submitted by swarnalir on July 14, 2017, 1:58pm One of the best fantasy books I have read.

Amazing book submitted by singleka on June 15, 2018, 12:31pm I loved getting lost in this series. It’s a must read!

Loved it submitted by sbeegees on June 15, 2018, 6:55pm This book is amazing, totally worth reading!

A Deeper, Richer Fairytale submitted by ajstemp on July 5, 2018, 4:27pm For the most part, I really enjoyed this! The writing feels smarter and more beautiful than a lot of the fantasy in the YA world, and the plot feels like a refreshing twist on fairy tale themes — things like curses and romance and fairies. I would highly recommend it!

Pretty Good submitted by c_zhang on June 28, 2019, 12:36am This book was a good take on the fantasy genre. A lot of recent fantasy books are repetitive, but this one is interesting and engaging.

Court of Thorns and Roses submitted by swapna_reddy on August 9, 2019, 3:35pm It was a very interesting book and captures the readers attention

Great story with a few issues submitted by jessicampace on August 24, 2019, 3:20pm The writing (sentence structure, grammar,) is actually terrible, which is a shame because the story and romance are great. I also take issue with this being classified by the library as "teen" because there are some very explicit adult sex scenes in this and the rest of the series. People as young as 13 are "teens" and I certainly wouldn't want my 13 year old kid reading this. It needs to be filed under "young adult."

This is one of my favorite books! submitted by arader24 on June 13, 2021, 6:21pm I really love this series and this is a great start. It defiantly isn't a teen book. It has a lot of adult themes. New Adult is more accurate for this series.

First book in an incredible series submitted by ShanleyBelle on July 19, 2021, 5:38pm This book is amazing. It sucks you into a series, and is a twist on the classic Beauty and the Beast. A word to the wise-- don't try to predict what comes next. Read on!

Solid fairytale vibes submitted by Princess Cimorene on July 20, 2021, 10:39pm I love a good retelling and this one sucked me right in. I was thorougjly transported, which is what I want when I read fantasy.

Good fluffy read submitted by catlover17 on August 22, 2021, 10:10pm This book definitely doesn’t have too much depth, but it enjoyed it nonetheless. Great romance, fantastic actions scenes, I’m excited to get my hands on the next book. I wouldn’t recommend this for anyone under 13.

I love this book submitted by morganic11 on June 16, 2022, 1:07pm This is one of the best fantasy books I have read in a long time. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes this genre.

Read the second book! submitted by audreyhalversen on July 12, 2022, 10:39pm I agree with those that say this book is really a prequel to the second book in the series. It's also NOT as good as the second book, so if you weren't sure about this one, keep going! That said, I still thought this was pretty good in the world of sexy fantasy.

My Favorite Series submitted by Riawhitebell on July 23, 2022, 3:27pm This is my favorite series of all time, and I've read it all the way through at LEAST 5 times. The second book is my personal favorite, and it is definitely worth a read.

Read. This. Now. submitted by zbo919 on July 28, 2022, 9:50pm Read after a friend suggested it to me, and I couldn't put it down!! This book is fantasy meets beauty and the beast meets romance.

It’s truly become a phenomenon submitted by clk.9123 on August 21, 2022, 3:15pm A faerie-lore version of Beauty and the Beast, A Court of Thorns and Roses is an inventive re-telling that is entirely unique.* </b>

I greatly enjoyed reading this. I did not realize when I started it that it was <i> meant </i> to resemble Beauty and the Beast, and it wasn't completely obvious to me until more than halfway through the book. To me, that is a good thing: it is a credit to the author, who can take a story and keep the main ideas the same but change the story entirely. Sarah J. Maas once again wowed me with this new series. I strongly suspect that she will become a forefront writer on the YA and New Adult fantasy scene. Very much looking forward to book #2.

While I believe this book <i> seems </i> like it is written for young adults/teens, I do believe it suits older teens (17+), and would be better placed in the New Adult genre. The main character is 19 years old, and the rest of the characters are older as well. I feel that the themes and romance errs on the side of New Adult and Adult. Note, that it is not wholly graphic, but more intense than a typical teen/young adult novel would be. Although it is being published by Bloomsbury Children's, as a 23 year old I am skeptical of it being written for younger teens, and as a librarian I will suggest that this not be classified in the Teen section.

My favorite book! submitted by lemontea557 on June 13, 2023, 6:40pm I first read this book a few years ago and feel in love with it and soon picked up the rest of the series (which is also amazing). This is the best series I have ever read. I recommend it to everyone but do say that there is some intense romance.

Vivid colors, scenes, and some violence in the end. submitted by alynnayotte on June 20, 2023, 5:11pm I didn't have enough experience in the fantasy world to truly enjoy the last section of this book. I was looking for more romance and less giant worms (spoiler?). Outside of that, their world building was wonderful and I enjoyed it. Can't wait to read more of them!

Really enjoyable adult fantasy submitted by tkuz5 on July 12, 2023, 6:41pm I really enjoyed this book! I read it super fast and breezed through the entire series and am now hooked on all Sarah Maas series!!

Decent start submitted by blancharddana on July 17, 2023, 7:40am An OK start to a great series, the first book gets going a little bit slowly but by the end I was enraptured with this world!

SJM is a queen submitted by Ghutton88 on July 20, 2023, 10:50pm I will never stop recommending this series unfortunately book one is a little rough but book 2 is amazing
