- The lore was interesting
- I liked many of the side characters
- Feyre was unbelievably annoying
- She was also so dense (the riddle????? Girl.)
- The first 270 pages were exposition and the actual conflict wasn’t explained until a character info dumped fae history to Feyre
- It’s an adult book written at a high middle grade/low YA level

I have heard that this series is "overrated" but I don't think its overrated, or underated for that matter. ACOTAR recieves just the right amount of recognition and praise. The lore is interesting, and the characters were interesting, specifically Lucien and Rhys, those guys get my kudos.
I will admit, this series would have been a 5 star if it wasn't for one thing, and the reason is because some parts of the book were very...very...VERY slow, and in some parts I zoned out, but overall, I wasn't dreading on reading such a long book and enjoyed my read.

Thinking back it’s somehow a bit funny, but little me was not having it.
Now I reread it and honestly, it was actually pretty good, maybe a bit overrated.
Easy to read and adventurous.
Ofc I was sometimes a bit annoyed by Feyre being told not to do something because it is very dangerous and doing exactly that 10 minutes later, but hey …. I was more annoyed by Tam.
And I know that my annoyance will only increase in the second book. :)
Btw, if you have read the book or don’t want to read it but are curious about the plot:
I recommend watching A court of thorns and roses | animated summary by TheCookieRhino on YouTube. It’s funny and sums up the thoughts I had while rereading it pretty well

Rhys is great too, and I like enemies to lovers tropes so them together would probably be more interesting. If she chooses him won’t the love of this book be for naught? She does everything out of love for Tamlin.

The characters are well-rounded, especially Feyre. There are a couple of plot inaccuracies
Nonetheless, this was one of the best books I've read. I can't wait to read the rest of the series - I hope they're as good as this one!
