A Court of Thorns and Roses

Starting to realise that I really like fantasy.

I've heard a lot of hype on A Court of Thorns and Roses and it was completely justified. I absolutely loved this book. The characters, the magic, the romance!!!!!! Sigh. There was so much to love.

I have to admit, it took me a few chapters to get really into it. It happens whenever I read fantasy. I had to take time to adjust to the world. But once I had, I couldn't stop reading! I chuckled, gasped, commentated out-loud and even made angry/excited hand gestures on my commute to work. But I didn't cry! That's a great feat for me if you haven't been following.

There were moments, in the latter half of the book, where I willed myself to read faster. I couldn't wait to reach the end; to see how everything plays out. I was at the edge of my seat, as they say. My will to read faster was, thankfully, met with an outstanding final few chapters. Made the whole “time to adjust” thing seem pretty worth it in the end.

Now that I've finished it, all I can really say is... I need to read A Court of Mist and Fury now.
