Emma-Jane Down’s Reviews > A Court of Thorns and Roses > Status Update

It’s getting somewhat better. Or maybe I’m more invested. Kind of like a sweater with too many holes but your nan made it for you so you want to keep it. Except someone told me this woman is a zionist. So yeah…

Very sorry for the updates but HAHAHAHA oh no now the big dangerous handsome male lead is wounded and the frail thin not-like-other-girls lead is going to nurse him back to health. I wonder if they will share some deep traumas? HAHAHAHA i cant with this book.

It’s going from terrible to average. Now just reads as a checklist:
character descriptions ✅
side mystery for plot development ✅
a nightmare to show moral understanding and immergence in the new world ✅
Showcase the difference between mortal humans and faeries ✅

It’s just really lacking a lot of intelligence.

I already hate this book sooo much! The writing is so clunky. There’s too many words in the sentences: “The world was awash in hues of dark blue, interrupted only by shafts of buttery light escaping from the shuttered windows of our dilapidated cottage.”

We get it … It’s dark, winter and stuff is old.
