How are you? I've had a pretty rubbish week to be honest.
I'm sorry that I didn't get round to doing my currently reading on sunday but I was busy actually finishing A Court of Thorns and Roses. I am currently around 100 pages into Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.
Emile and I talked about how we haven't done reviews for a very long time and that most our reviews are of Contemporary novels.
I thought I would review A Court of Thorns and Roses as I finished it earlier this week. Enjoy!
*non-spoiler part*
A Court of Thorns and Roses or ACOTAR is a fairy tale retelling based on Beauty and the Beast.
It is set in a place called Prythian which it split into the Human realms and the Faerie realms (Spring Court, Summer Court, Autumn Court, Winter Court, Night Court and Day Court) cordened off by a wall. The story revolves around the protagonist, Feyre, a human huntress.
She thinks nothing of killing a wolf in the woods to capture its prey to feed her poverty stricken family, but a few days later a faerie turns up at her door stating that the wolf was indeed a faerie in disguise. The treaty states that if a human kills a faerie then they will either be instantly killed or taken back to Prythian. She chose to leave her family and go with the "beast". This story is of her experiences of in Prythian and love.
I really recommend it so read it and come back to read below>>>>>>
*spoiler alert*
OMG FEYSAND! I feel like Feyre is so cute with Rhysand. Although he put her through all the intoxicated parties and shear dresses, he did it for her. He did it to help her against Amarantha. I truly love this ship :)
Anyway, the start was fairly interesting but not very gripping but since found that this changed as they went further into the story when she got to Prythian. I only started really getting gripped about half-way through but once I was gripped...It was so hard to put down. I like the characters of this novel but I think my favourite would definitely have to be Rhysand. He's so complex and the more you find out and the more he's there the more you get to love him.
In the last task where she had to stab Tamlin, I truly think he should've died *you guys are probably gonna hate me for saying that*. But I feel like the ending of him actually surviving was lots like that of other high-fantasy novels making it a bit cliche. I am still really pumped for A Court of Mist and Fury.
QOTD: How are you guys doing?
Happy Reading,
