A Court of Thorns and Roses

Probably an unpopular opinion but I didn't enjoy Feyre and Tamlin's relationship. It felt forced or fake or like it was stockholm syndrome. He took her from her family and because they were forced together she fell in love with him. I felt like Lucien and Tamlin were just not good people. I found it odd that she killed his friend and he takes her in and takes care of her and her family. Although, later we find out that he needed her to fall in love with him to break the curse. I liked Feyre's character. She was loyal to her family, strong willed, and ingenious. I loved Amarantha as the villian. I really disliked her which shows how well written she was. She would just do things that were unnecessary just to torture Feyre. I did immediately solve the riddle and wondered why it took until the end of the book to solve. I am interested to see what happens in the next book with the bond between Rhys and Feyre. He seems the most interesting character. I am hoping in the next book the relationship between Tamlin and Feyre becomes more natural or stronger where I can feel a better connection. The way Sarah J. Maas weaves the world building information into the story made it such a great book. The characters seem intentially created in particular ways to make you think one thing but create a left hand turn. It will be interesting to see how all of this plays out in book 2.
