Kurzmeinung: What an amazing story!
Rezension
I absolutely love the cover of this book. With it's rich red colour, the thorny details and the woman in the very detailed dress, it resembles the story perfectly.
This has been my first book by Sarah J. Maas and I have to admit, she has an amazing writing style. Usually I'm very careful with books as hyped as this one but with this thrilling story, the author won my heart in an instant. She writes in an addicting way and it has been impossible to put the book down once I have started to read.
The plot has been thought through in every detail and there are no dull scenes or contradictions whatsoever.
And then there are the characters. They are stunning, all in their own way. I adore them all. No matter, if they're good or evil.
At first there is Feyre. She is the amazing protagonist of this story. Feyre is loving and kind in her own way but she also holds a certain amount of bitterness. She has courage and loves in a way one can't imagine. Feyre is self-sacrificing and would do everything to protect the ones she cares for. Even if it means, that her own horrors come true.
And then there are all the other fantastic characters. You will meet Feyre's family, her sisters - Elain and Nesta - as well as her father.
But there are also various High Fae and lesser faeries for you to get to know. Some are hideous and cruel in ways you would never have thought possible. They slaughter and torture and do these things with great passion. And then there are those for whom I fell within a heartbeat.
This book is definitely not a 'typical faerie book' with mostly glitter and adorable little creatures. It's quite the opposite. And though it's full of heartbreaking scenes, monsters and fear, it is also spiked with love, friendship and hope.
'A Court Of Thorns And Roses' is most definitely one of my highlights this year and Sarah J. Maas has now a new fan for sure. I can't wait to read on and get myself carried away again into this wonderful world.
