Court of Thorns and Roses | Sarah J Maas
THE INSTANT "NEW YORK TIMES "BESTSELLERPerfect for fans of Kristin Cashore and George R.R. Martin, this first book in a sexy and action-packed new series is impossible to put down!When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution for it. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she only knows about from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal, but Tamlin--one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled their world. As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow over the faerie lands is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it . . . or doom Tamlin--and his world--forever.

#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Testing the waters: if I were to host a buddy read for book 2 after we finish this one, separate from our regular #LittensLoveRomance read, would there be any interest in that? Let me know 🤷‍♀️ Ch.28,29,30: Feyre is returned home - but it‘s a much different home than she remembers. Tamlin‘s generosity has elevated her family so that they are better off than they were 8 years before. ⬇️

StayCurious But not everyone is fooled: Nesta sees through the glamour. And she actually went after Feyre. deep down Feyre knows she can‘t stay there, not when her High Lord could be in danger. If Nesta was brave enough to go to Prythian, so is Feyre. 3h
mcctrish I‘m up for a Buddy read to the end of the series #littensloveacotar and I‘m pretty sure we‘re packing our bags to go after Tam once the ball is over. Maybe Nesta goes too? 2h

BarkingMadRead I am definitely in for a buddy read! I have the whole series but I‘ve only read the first one! 2h
OriginalCyn620 I am totally up for a buddy read! That would be fun. It‘s a bit surprising that Nesta went after Feyre…she was always so prickly towards her. 😂 But good for her showing some sisterly love and concern! I‘m glad to hear that the family was thriving in Feyre‘s absence, but I want her and Tamlin back together. Like right now! 2h
Read4life I‘m up for a buddy read of the series. 2h
LiseWorks Definitely a buddy read for book 2. I was so surprised as how well her family was doing. So Tamlin kept his word to look after them. 2h
vonnie862 I'm up for the buddy read! I bought the series set so it would be fun to tackle it together! 1h
vonnie862 You know, I love that we got to see that side of Nesta! As the oldest myself, I kept wondering why she was so cold to Feyre. Now I understand her better. 1h
CrowCAH The family‘s situation is so opposite of what it was, it doesn‘t seem real. I‘m glad Nesta wasn‘t glamorized. I‘m totally rooting for Feyre to go back to Faerie. 1h

I had heard so many things about this series so was keen to read the first book as part of #litsylovesromance.
Magical lands, violence, adventure, beasts, faerie‘s - there was so much going on and that doesn‘t include the romance. The relationship between Tamlin and Feyre was swoon worthy .
A seductive, adventure that the author detailed perfectly. I can‘t wait to read the next one.

#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch.25,26,27: A lot happened in these chapters but mainly we‘ll focus on Rhysand, the dark High Lord linked to the *she* we‘ve been afraid of. Yeah, he seems like a jerk but he knows what‘s going on. Tamlin is still keeping things from Feyre - to protect her or himself and his realm? Can he really send her home? Will she leave her newfound home now that she finally feels comfortable there? She might not have a choice. ⬇️

StayCurious It seems as though things are crumbling around Tamlin and the spring court and Feyre may be his weakness and his downfall. Unless she‘s like the key to everything. So many unanswered questions! 1d
LiseWorks This is where Beauty leaves the beast behind. Does she have a choice? I am a little heartbroken at this point 1d

OriginalCyn620 Yes, so many more questions now! And after the amorous activities, I wonder if Tamlin will actually be able to send Feyre away. It‘s hard to believe that he would send her back to the awful life she had before. But yet, he wants to keep her safe…I still feel like Feyre is the key to something. IDK how or what, though. And BTW, the graphic is so on point! 👍🏻 1d
mcctrish Didn‘t the Suriel say Feyre needs to stay close to Tamlin? I don‘t think going home is safe but I wasn‘t expecting Tam and Lucien to get down on their knees either 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1d
vonnie862 @mcctrish same! The Suriel did say to stay with Tamlin. I was shocked that both of them got on their knees. 1d
CrowCAH I agree @mcctrish @vonnie862 that was shocking that they‘d stoop so low to protect her. I knew this was a BatB type story, but I was still torn when he came to the decision to allow her to go. He finally accepted her and she him and now they‘ll be separated. 1d
maich @mcctrish and @CrowCAH I agree with you two. So many happend in these chapters and so many questions. Tamlin still don't want her to tell everything even they come close. Not sure what to think...🤔 21h

#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch.22,23,24: Feyre is definitely liking and trusting Tamlin more - enough to show him her paintings, and to dress to impress. And he shows her what his world is really like. I feel better knowing that his court is not completely abandoned as it appeared to be. There are many more fairies there than Feyre could see. ⬇️

StayCurious We hear about The Night Court - there‘s no love lost between Tamlin and the Night Court‘s High Lord it seems. What a strange and terrible prank? 2d
OriginalCyn620 I‘m glad the walls are slowly coming down with these two, but I wonder how much more there is that Feyre doesn‘t know yet. And it‘s getting increasingly harder for me to stay on schedule…I want to read ahead so badly! 😂 2d

#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch.19,20,21: We learn more about the Faerie world and about the concept of Mates. Could Tamlin and Feyre be destined or is it not in the cards? But things are starting to go well between Feyre and Tamlin, that is until Feyre goes against his orders and sneaks out to the Fire Njght. Feyre and her curiosity! She lands in such dangerous situations. ⬇️

StayCurious If that handsome stranger hadn‘t been there…and who is he and where is he from? I‘m sure we haven‘t seen the end of him. And then Feyre has that run in with Tamlin after Lucien tells her what the Rite is. I got an ick feeling that he was with someone else that night and then comes to Feyre with hopes of what? I dunno. My gut isn‘t rooting for these two as much as it was. Even if Feyre is drawn to him. 3d
mcctrish Tam had to take someone else and was pissed off. He did warn her but Lucien obviously thinks Feyre should be given more information that she gets. 3d

OriginalCyn620 Maybe if Tamlin gave all the info when Feyre asks a question, then she wouldn‘t need to sneak around and find out for herself. 😂 I‘m still rooting for them, though! 3d
mcctrish @OriginalCyn620 or she‘d realize what she‘d be getting herself into if she went out and me too 3d
StayCurious @OriginalCyn620 you‘re totally right. I‘m not a brave person - I‘d be like “ok stay in the room! No problem!” 3d
LiseWorks I was so disappointed in Tamlin for not explaining why she should stay in her room. But those drums. She couldn't resist! After reading other books about Fairies I knew the drums would get her in trouble. And the most beautiful man she ever saw? Why heart went oh no! 3d
LiseWorks I meant my heart, stupid autocorrect 3d
CrowCAH Going to Fire Night was a stupid move. He gave a warning on purpose. But curiosity gets the better of us all, right? At least she knows more now. 3d
Cupcake12 So many unanswered questions! 3d
vonnie862 @CrowCAH I'm with you. It was a stupid move. 3d
vonnie862 Now that stranger...who is he? 3d
maich @LiseWorks the drums. I thought the same. I'll did the same as Ferye. We wanted to see what was going on. Lucien finally started talking. But we need more information. And that stranger. Who is he? Will probably meet him again. And that hot scene with Tamlin. So many things happen in these chapters. 3d

I picked up this book for a Litsy read along and it was so good I couldn‘t just read 2 chapters a day. I now know why Romantasy is such a popular new genre. It‘s romance with a thrilling, action packed B-storyline. This story felt like a beauty and the beast spin off, which made me enjoy it more. It also had a little Psyche trials of proving her love of Eros to Aphrodite spin too. I love that particular Greek myth. So, all in all I‘d recommend it!

#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch.16,17,18: Feyre is starting to care for and understand more about these faeries. They aren‘t all the vicious creatures she was warned about - although there do seem to be a lot of dangers in The Spring Court. And who is this terrible lady faerie we keep hearing whispers about? Tamlin seems to be trying more with Feyre. ⬇️

StayCurious He offers to help her write, he reassures her about her family‘s welfare, he brings her to a starlight glen cough cough aka Twilight Meadow) - for Feyre this is akin to Beast giving Belle a library. The man is working hard. But what does he really want from her? 4d

#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch: 13,14,15: Oy, Feyre does a good job of getting into trouble, doesn‘t she? If this were my book, I‘d be luxuriating in baths, food and the library and just avoiding all that danger- it‘d be very boring haha. But that‘s not who Feyre is. She likes to test boundaries. She‘s still working for her family even when she‘s away from them. ⬇️

StayCurious Hoping to save them from the blight. Will she listen to the Suriel‘s advice and stay close to Tamlin or did it perhaps mean a different High Lord? Is Tamlin her future? Will he keep her safe when he seems to be losing control of his lands? Or is she the key perhaps to changing things? So many questions. 5d
mcctrish So many questions. My book would be different too, I‘d be reading and looking at the art. Maybe trying some painting techniques since Tamlin did ask about hobbies 5d
See All 10 Comments
OriginalCyn620 For sure, my book would be different too! I‘d be luxuriating in zero responsibility, opulence, and lots of me time. But Renee, I think you‘re right about Feyre being the key…I just don‘t know to what. And is this just me, or is anyone else shipping Tamlin and Feyre already? I want there to be some action in that regard 😂 5d
maich I'm also thinking that she is the key to something or a cure. She loves adventure and troubles...I hoped Lucien was coming to the rescue but than surprise it's another one. Very unpredictable and suspensful book. I like it! 5d
TheAromaofBooks I'm confused by why she thinks Lucien is more trustworthy than Tamlin - they feel equally suspicious to me 😂 5d
CrowCAH @OriginalCyn620 totally shipping Tamlin and Feyre! 5d
vonnie862 @TheAromaofBooks Same. Is Lucien trustworthy? I mean, why didn't he come when she started screaming? 4d
TheAromaofBooks @vonnie862 - I just can't understand how she's like “oh I need someone to plead my case with Tamlin“ when Tamlin himself is like “do you want to hang out?“ and she blows him off to go hang out with Lucien in hopes that Lucien will plead her case?! How is that better than just talking to Tamlin yourself!?? 😅 4d
StayCurious @TheAromaofBooks right? That was a head scratcher for sure 4d

#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch.10,11,12: we learn more about Tamlin-that he‘s a great warrior-and Prythian, and catch glimpses of conversations that tell us things are not great in Fae-land. Tamlin and Lucien are worried and Feyre hates being in the dark. She‘s brave for digging and asking the questions she does. I wouldn‘t have the guts. But where does she fit in? Is there another reason Tamlin brought her there? Why is he running out of time?

#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch.7-9: Mmm Feyre gets to eat. I‘m here for it - let‘s fatten this poor girl up. Feyre tries to plan a way to escape. She disses Tamlin when he offers her a tour (brave or dumb) and seeks out the foxy Lucien to get him to plead her case with Tamlin. She should have just played nice with Tamlin in hopes of doing it herself - but what do I know. But Lucien sees right through her plan and basically puts a stop to it. ⬇️

StayCurious But every conversation Feyre has with these faeries, she‘s gleaning valuable info for later. They‘re telling her everything haha. She‘s clever - but will it be enough? (edited) 1w

maich @OriginalCyn620 I think the same. She want to spent the time with the scariest fae. The end of the chapter. I read another one to see what was that. She doesn't think it's all a bit strange. She is not in captivity, she can do whatever she wants. And her family is provided for. And they can't kill her. 7d

TheAromaofBooks I kind of forgot that we were starting this one but I am caught up now 😂 I think this story would be so much more believable if Feyre had people she actually LOVED back home. This whole “I promised my mother“ doesn't feel like strong enough motivation for how desperate she is to escape so she can be malnourished, cold, and get back to the people who treat her like garbage. 7d

#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch.4-6: definite Beauty & the beast vibes now, as Feyre is forced to go to the Faerie land as prisoner/guest - her punishment for killing a faerie wolf. Of course, she‘s desperate to escape and return to her family - who, let‘s face it, don‘t stand a chance without her. I‘d be soaking in this vacation if I were her…⬇️

StayCurious but Feyre‘s grown up on terrible tales of the High Fae and she‘s even warned by the servant Alis not to trust her senses in Prythian. She‘s terrified and hoping for a chance to flee. Can she do what she‘s told for the time being and not get herself into trouble? 1w

OriginalCyn620 I‘m wondering if the tales of the High Fae were greatly exaggerated, or maybe they once were true but aren‘t any longer? At any rate, I‘m loving the vibe of this book so far! And I understand why Feyre is wanting to flee because of said stories, but I agree with @BarkingMadRead - she should try to see it as a vacation from all her responsibilities and her horrible family. 😂 1w
vonnie862 I don't blame her for being hesitant. If I'm taken against my will, I would be on my highest alert, even if my "prison" is a nice place. My question is, why was she taken and not killed? Why was she told that she was not a prisoner? 1w

#LittensLoveRomance #ACOTAR Ch.1-3: what an interesting beginning! A lot of information but it was delivered in a blunt, easy way so it was easy to follow. I hate her family - I feel bad that Feyre (pronounced Fair-ruh) is taking care of them and feels bound to them and bound to her terrible existence. They‘re useless. I said it. But A promise is a promise and Feyre made a serious one to her mother - ⬇️

StayCurious probably because the woman realized they would die without help. I appreciated the world building the author did - I‘m interested to see where this is going, especially considering how Ch.3 ended. I think we can all agree that Feyre is meant for more than this life. 1w

#LittensLoveRomance Our next book is definitely one of the most hyped out there. The ACOTAR fanbase can be rabid haha. Let‘s see if it‘s worth all the fuss. This is considered “romantsy”.

Late to the party! 😬

I didn't find this the addictive, compulsive page turner everyone said it was. I found it VERY tedious in the middle but it picked up when Rhysand was introduced. I hope the rest of the series picks up as this was just a Beauty and the Beast retelling 🤣

I am, however, getting strange vibes from Tamlin... so I will finish the series and hope it grips me!

5feet.of.fury Yeah, Book 2 is really where the magic happens. I liked the trials in ACOTAR 1 but a lot of that book seemed like a totally different thought. 3w

#25Alive! Day 26: My #GuiltyPleasure that I have not even started reading yet since practically all of the young people I know have been raving about #Acotar. Is it really worth all the hype, fellow readers?

LMJenkins I enjoyed it! When I read it, it was not my typical genre, but it really sucked me in and what can I say? It was a pleasure to read it. Best literature, I‘ve ever read, no. But that doesn‘t matter. I had fun and it was a fantasy and I liked it. 4w
GatheringBooks @LMJenkins that is really good to know. Being lost in books is the best feeling. I enjoy fantasy and world building so i hope i can get to this series soon enough. 4w
Butterfinger I'm not one who likes graphic spicy scenes, so i usually only read YA fantasy.. There's a lot of spice, but I love the characters. I never thought I would cry while reading a fantasy, BUT I bawled during the very last book of the series. 4w

Great read! Very well-written and fast paced. Not the usual genre I'd go for, but I still enjoyed it very much! #BookOneOf2025

Last book of 2024! I did like it, but didn‘t love it. I‘ve heard the second one is amazing so I‘ll give it a go! I did enjoy the last 100 pages or so the most!

Did anyone else notice how many times she vomited?? Or was it just me?! 😂

Kinda slow but overall good. I‘m interested enough to keep going in the series thanks to everyone saying the next books are better.

Can‘t believe I waited so long to read this!!! I haven‘t read a book this fast in a looonnngggg time and now I must have the second one!! If you love fantasy, this is a must read. It‘s been around for a long time but if you have been putting it off, don‘t wait! As I wait for book two to arrive I‘m trying to choose one of the books in the background. My reading bug is back! 📚

I started this on my Kindle awhile ago, and for some reason, it just didn‘t grab me right away - I must not have been in the mood for it. I know it‘s such a beloved series, so I thought I would give it another try with the dramatized adaptation audiobooks. I can understand the appeal and the potential - I imagine the rest of the books in the series will only get better now that the story is set up. 🎧

I finally jumped on the bandwagon and started this series. Full of tropes - unreasonably feisty heroine, good at hunting with a bow, pretty enough but fairly ordinary except for her feistiness, is sentenced to fairyland a la Beauty and the Beast. Incredibly hot male fairies find her irresistibly attractive. She has to save the fairy realm against impossible odds using cunning and bravery. The fresh writing made it all enjoyable. On to book 2!

Returned the #audiobooks via #hoopla

This was an enjoyable book! Totally loved the “Beauty and the Beast” vibes.

The romance was heartwarming 💘
Believable characters, liked their flaws, and how they still had hope
A lot of tragedy is experienced by the characters, yet they still live with the pain and seek justice

I‘ll continue the series. I hear book two is the best of them.

Started this #audiobook and got through three hours in my first sitting. Seems very Beauty and the Beast so far. I like it, waiting for some action to start soon.

willaful I remember finding the audiobook rather repetitive in style -- a dramatized adaption sounds like a good idea. 4mo
peaKnit I enjoy the cast audio, so immersive! I‘m mid book 3 of series. 4mo
CrowCAH @willaful I like the extra sounds, helps the story a bit. 4mo
CrowCAH @peaKnit yeah, not too many do the immersive audio, so when I saw Hoopla had it, I wanted to do that version and not the regular audio. 4mo

I have this book on kindle, IRL and audio- and with my brain fog lifting (thanks to HRT) I decided to reread and see if i still enjoyed it - and I did. I love a Beauty and The Beast type story and really enjoyed the Fae and storyline. It made a huge difference having all three formats available.

Gissy I need to re-read those first 2 books and finish the series.. 4mo
Chrissyreadit @Gissy I definitely will be curious to hear what you think. 4mo

I went in with low expectations because it is so popular. I was delightfully surprised by this book and I enjoyed the story and love interest. My only complaint would be the slower pacing in the beginning.

I finally got around to reading this. While the book was really fun and I still am curious as to what happens next, I just felt like some things were ridiculous. The twist/big reveal was pretty obvious and a little bit too manipulated for the sake of making it make sense with everything that‘s happened. I did enjoy the second half a lot though, and I love how dark and gory it is. It‘s not a cute story, it‘s ugly in a good way. Also Nesta>>>>>>>

Margot Robbie has hinted that there might be a screen adaption of 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' coming our way.

Last year, she was spotted with the author of the series Sarah J. Maas after news of a previous TV series with Hulu fell through.

When asked if her production company is creating a series on the hugely popular books, Margot replied: "We all need that - the world needs that. I'll see what I can do."

jeannasser Not a fan of this potential casting for Feyre at all (Feyre is supposed to be a redhead and much younger) but still hyped to see how they adapt the books. 5mo
TeamFiction @jeannasser she would act as a producer 5mo

While I loved the character building during this book, and how the actual story went, I liked the rest of the books in this series more. The first book felt, to me, more like a setup for the real story, than the actual story. On that note, I couldn't put this (or any other of this series) book down!
