Review of 'Court of Thorns and Roses / A Court of Mist and Fury / A Court of Wings and Ruin / A Court of Frost and Starlight' on 'Goodreads'
It's fine. Mild. Average. A bit juvenile & slow. I read to the end but don't see myself picking up any more of the series. There's just no commitment - if you're going to write MarySue Does Fairyland, then get amongst it with the porn or romance - but there's about as much heat between the two leads as a solar-powered calculator. You want to do a retelling of Beauty & the Beast, then maybe put a Beast in? Or a Beauty? One of them at very least. Intrigue? Nah. Twisty fairy tale? Also no, there's a bigger twist & more difficult riddle to solve in The Monster at the End of This Book.
Also. The theme? The thorns & the roses? Mentions of thorns: 1. Mentions of roses: 1. It felt quite tacked-on at the last minute. Could have called the book anything else to have made more sense.
