A Court of Thorns and Roses

I read this back in high school and thought it was interesting. Mostly I'm a fan of the fmc not ending up with the first guy she likes - love that!!! need 5000% of that in more of the books I read
this time around i started on chapter 20ish since thats when rice shows up. however the descriptions were awkward and i know it's supposed to be spicy but i couldn't take most of the book seriously, too many adverbs. also not a fan of making violent mmcs sexy? when you take a step back and look at the male characters, 0% of them are actually good people? like they're good compared to each other but that's about it?

but i do understand why people like this series. considering reading book #2
