A Court of Thorns and Roses

I bought this book at Target one day on a whim. I didn't know anything about this book, except that it was very outstanding on BookTube and the author was popular. While my mom ran other errands, I waited in the car and started reading it. I got a few chapters in, and I was bored. At the end of the day, I decided to leave it alone for a while and come back to it when I felt more interested. This book sat on my shelf collecting dust for approximately a year.

Earlier this year in my Latin II class, me and my more-experienced bookworm friend were talking about books and I said something around the lines of “I have a book on my shelf called ‘A Court of Thorns and Roses' but I haven't read it yet.” She starts freaking out and saying that I have to read it and that it's the best thing ever. So, of course, I trust her and decide to read it.

I read it in no time. I bought the sequel a week later, which I read in four days. I had to wait four months for A Court of Wings and Ruin. I was (and still am) OBSESSED. I have reread this series three times now and it is a huge reason for why I am still reading books to this day.

I think I love this book (series) because it shows that you can find happiness in the darkest places, and I think that message was what I really needed at the time of reading this series.

2ND REREAD: I skimmed about 75% of this because I can't be assed to read about Tamlines in the middle of a reading slump. Ugh. On to ACOMAF!
