At least, he's not a beast all the time.

I’m a Gemini. Impulsive. Curious. Headstrong. A twin. Heir to a throne I know nothing about. And it turns out, I’m Fae. But of course, there’s a catch - all I have to do to claim my birthright is prove that I’m the most powerful supernatural in the whole of Solaria. And sure, technically that’s true, as I’m the daughter of the Savage King. But the bit they didn’t put in the brochure was that every single Fae in this Kingdom would claim my throne if they could.

Couldn't finish
This book, a summary: "For your own safety, don't do the thing!" Does the thing, ends up in life threatening situation, gets rescued. "Seriously, do NOT do the thing!" Does the thing, get rescued, glimpse his well muscled body. "Really! I'm losing patience here! DO NOT DO THE THING!" Does the thing, gets rescued, notices more of his body.
Intermingled with thinking about how her family doesn't care about her.
All set in a "Beauty and the Beast" copy.
But the narration was good.

I loved Sarah J Mass' last series and can see the same thing happening with this. Although I wasn't too sure of Jennifer Ikeda's narration at first, I very quickly warmed to it. I would absolutely recommend this book to any and all fantasy fans.

Intense and emotional
First time listening to an audiobook. It was definitely worth it. The author constantly keeps you on the edge of your seat, making you ache in anticipation at what comes next. The plot made me think extremely hard as it was well written and thought out. I loved the forbidden romance aspect and trials that Feyra and Tamlin had to experience, it was painful but emphasised their love even more.
Would definitely read/listen to this again.

I didn't quite get into this book, it just didn't quite make sense. I really enjoyed the Assassin series of books so I will give the next one of these a try to see if the plot gets better but for me not as good as the other Maas books.

Potential spoilers
ACOTAR REVIEW
***POTENTIAL SPOILERS***
Having so recently finished the Throne of Glass series, the urge to compare the two is high.
I wasn't so sure I'd come to like the characters as much, and it certainly took me a little while longer to warm to them.
Part of the barrier initially was that I was on audio book during my morning commute. I didn't gel with Jennifer Ikeda (who narrates this book) to begin with, but after a few chapters it started to flow more.
Feyre is an interesting protagonist. There's the juxtaposition between being the savvy, hard working, hunter gatherer of her family (following her gut when stalking the wolf in the opening chapters), and the polar opposite when thrust into Prythian where she seems to make poor judgement calls (easily believing that her father has come to her aid despite the many obstacles he'd have faced) and putting herself in harms way.
I'm typical SJM style, you tag your romantic interest early on, only to have whiplash by the end of the book. It's one of the things I like most about her stories.... And it reminds me not to get too comfortable ☺
That said, despite Rhysands good intentions I cannot see how Feyre can see him in another light..... But this is the girl who has forgiven the man she loves for manoeuvring her into killing an innocent fae and then kidnapped her under false pretenses.
Maybe I'm in need of chocolate, maybe I'm a bit cynical, but I don't think Rhysand is going to be replacing Rowan in my heart any time soon.
I'm still excited for the next installment... Can I count on more Nesta and Lucien?

Stunning
Having discovered Sarah Maas' books mid 2018, I have not stopped listening since.
A Court of Thorns and Roses is set in a land of faeries and mortals. A love affair between a mortal and a High Fae Lord. This book starts off slowly, but really takes off after the first few chapters. I have to admit to finding Feyre a little naive and rambling, at times and, towards the end, I found the last trial she had to overcome predictable.
Tamlin and Feyre's love looks as though it will last through it all, but I have a feeling that a love triangle in the future between Feyre and Rhysand is on the cards. Lucian I feel a little sorry for as he seems to lose out, and, again, I feel he will end up the scapegoat in all of this.

Personally I couldn't stand the two main characters, especially Feyre. I honestly can't put my finger on why. But if there is more Lucien and Rhysand in the next book I might consider dipping my toe in again.

A waste of a free credit
This book is a mix between Beauty and the Beast and A Game Of Thrones, written in the tone of a sulky teenager. Maybe I'm just too old for this, but regret spending a free credit on it. Listened up to chapter 4 and gave up.
