#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. 4h

mcctrish Serious Cinderella vibes but with a useless dad instead of an evil stepmother, not sure what‘s worst. We knew that wolf would be trouble 4h

Read4life This is a reread for me. I‘m interested to see how it compares to my first read. 3h

LiseWorks This is the kind of book I love. I had the same vibe with Cinderella and her stepsister. Dear Lord, they're useless. I kind of wonder about that wolf. 3h

OriginalCyn620 Yes, definitely some Cinderella vibes. And I know that Feyre made a promise to her dying mother, but the disrespect is unbelievable! I‘d either rip them all new ones or leave them to die…I guess Feyre is a better person than I am! 😂 2h

vonnie862 This reminded me more of the original Beauty and the Beast story. Beauty was the kind one while her sisters were mean. 52m

StayCurious @vonnie862 that‘s what I thought of too 39m

#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”. We‘ll star Feb 10 and read 3 chapters a day. I believe it is available on Everand for those that subscribe or hopefully your library has copies. Please let @StayCurious know if you want to be tagged in her daily posts.

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. 2w

Eggs, Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

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. 2w

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. 2w

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. 2w

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. 3mo

peaKnit I enjoy the cast audio, so immersive! I‘m mid book 3 of series. 3mo

CrowCAH @willaful I like the extra sounds, helps the story a bit. 3mo

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."

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!

Bookwomble @GingerAntics From my reading of the report, it seems that public schools and libraries are being forced to comply with the ban, but it doesn't seem to prohibit the books being sold and read privately. I could be wrong, but that's how I understood the Guardian article. Obviously, that's still fascist censorship. 6mo

Haven't read a fantasy book in ages and this one was the perfect choice to bring me back to the genre. I really enjoyed the characters and plot and how the book takes inspiration from so many other quality fantasy tales from the canon and yet is wonderfully fresh and exciting. Mass is a true wordsmith.
