A Court of Thorns and Roses

This book was like a crossover between Twilight, Divergent and Hunger Games, where they took out the mistakes of the actual books and introduced their own blunders.

This was not a good read. I finished this book in a day. Was really enchanted by the covers, and disenchanted by the actual text. There were so many loopholes in this. The protagonist was bearable enough in the beginning but by the end I wanted to either fling myself out the window, or the book. Whew! Why did she need the help of so many people by the end, it's like she couldn't do anything on her own.

Also the lazy lines repeating themselves over and over again. “He flecked dust from his clothes...”, “she flecked dust from her red gown...”. Good lord, how much dust is there in your underground cavern. And why fleck it, just use magic.

I didn't like the latter part of the book at all. It was very weak and the characters were not smart. Made me compare it to the Red Rising trilogy at every turn where the characters stood with grace and elegance by themselves. Will not be continuing the series. Don't want to read more of the story with Mr. Third Wheel here.
