Okay! I’m finally here. I don’t know how long it’s been since my mind was stuck on the idea of starting a book blog. And today, just a few minutes ago, I decided to write and POST my first review and here we are! A part of me is so glad I decided to do this today because I just finished reading ‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’ by Sarah J. Mass, and let me tell you — I’m still reeling with the after-effects of finishing the book.

But before we talk about finishing the book, let’s discuss the beginning. Feyre (pronounced: fey-ruh) is a 19-year-old living in this unique world created by Mass. The rules of this world are simple, and yet not so much. This world is divided by a wall. While one side of the wall is inhabited by humans, the other side is where all the fun takes place, where these immortal, beautiful creatures known as ‘Fae’ live. Feyre is human, and hence, stuck on the mortal side of the wall, but not for too long.

One day, Feyre decides to go hunting to feed her fam because while there are three other members living in Feyre’s ramshackle cottage, they don’t like to get their hands dirty (working for food …who does that, right?). While Fae-hunting wasn’t on our girl’s agenda, she inadvertently ends up killing one. In her defense, this particular Fae disguised himself as a wolf. As a part of the treaty forged five hundred years ago by Faes and humans, Feyre is dragged to the other side of the wall because that’s what they do to the humans who kill Faeries — A life for a life.

Now, here is where the fun part starts. Here is where Feyre meets the lovely High Lord of the Spring Court in Prythian and then …they may or may not fall in love. Read the book, kids, I’m not going to tell you everything.

However, I’d like to warn you. At one point in time, you might feel the plot is moving too slowly. I was convinced to not read the book after the first hundred pages, but there was this allure, like some High Fae put a glamour on me, that I couldn’t stop reading, and I’m glad I didn’t because the book is worth it.

Sarah J. Mass is a brilliant author. Her prose flows like a beautiful, uninterrupted river, and after a few pages, you get so engrossed in her books, it becomes difficult to separate fiction from reality, mostly because you don’t want to live in reality anymore. I’m a huge fan of Mass, and I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone who likes to read. This book is a perfect amalgamation of romance, magic, action, and suspense. And if you’re a fan of enemies turned lovers, there might be something for you in there as well, not going to give any spoilers.

If you’re waiting for my rating, I’m going to give this book a solid 4.5 out of 5. Go get your copy of ‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’ today.
