A Court of Thorns and Roses

I love how addictive YA is in that it makes me read consistently. This is my first time reading a faerie series. I've read plenty of other mythological/magical fantasy books, but never faeries. This book has all of the classic dark fantasy YA tropes. Every single one. Not a bad thing necessarily, but it made the whole thing very predictable. As with most YA books, I wish the main character had more of a personality. The “selfless and unknowingly pretty girl who makes logically unsound decisions the whole book but somehow everything turns out okay” main character and plot is tired.
The three male characters were also very classic, but I liked ‘em. I know world building can be a slow process so I'm not too upset about the pace of this book and the last third made up for it. I was warned that the first book was not as good as the later books in the series. So I'm looking forward to picking up the next one.
