A Court of Thorns and Roses

The first part of the book is very slow-paced. In fact it took so long for the story to really get going that it was a DNF for me over a year ago. A week ago I decided to give it another go and started where I left off-about a third in-and from there the story actually got so interesting that I couldn't put it down.

Some plot twists were predictable, but overall I was positively surprised by how much suspense was kept until the very last page. Love scenes were kept to a very reasonable amount unlike some YA reading. YA fantasy is not my genre, but this book felt quite mature to me and I enjoyed it greatly.
