I cannot believe it . . .
I cannot believe that I loved this book so much. I have never tried my hand at high fantasy novels except Harry Potter (are they high fantasy novels?) which I love.
But this book hit me so unexpectedly and beautifully. I started it yesterday evening and couldn't keep it down. I was up till 4am and then again as soon as I woke up and relaxed only once I completed it by late afternoon.
YES. IT IS THAT GOOD!
The characters are so amazing and you know something else?
While reading it, a random " my tears ricochet" melody filtered into my head and it was there till I finished the book. I was feeling the usual slump you feel after completing a really good book and thought of listening to evermore and OMG. I might be imagining it and this might be a reach but I feel as if every song on that album is a perfect fit for each situation and each character in ACOTAR.
I am a huge Swiftie and love all her songs but this particular album always felt so ethereal so deep yet there were words woven into it that I never understood until I read this book.
Am I crazy?

A Court of Thorns and Roses has taken the fantasy genre by storm, captivating readers with its intricate world and compelling characters. Sarah J. Maas's writing brings to life the realm of Prythian, filled with faeries and adventure. Fans of high fantasy will find a rich narrative that not only entertains but also prompts deep emotional responses. Many readers, like myself, have drawn parallels between the book and music, particularly Taylor Swift’s evermore album. Each song resonates with the characters' emotions, enhancing the reading experience. For example, tracks like ‘my tears ricochet’ perfectly embody the heart-wrenching moments in the story, while other songs capture the essence of love and struggle faced by the protagonists, Tamlin and Rhysand. Furthermore, the book's themes explore love, betrayal, and resilience, which are universally relatable. As you immerse yourself in the pages, you'll discover that each character has a unique story that intertwines beautifully, drawing you deeper into the narrative. Whether you're a long-time fantasy reader or new to the genre, A Court of Thorns and Roses invites you into a world where fantasy meets reality. This book isn't just about escapism; it's an emotional exploration that lingers long after reading. If you loved Harry Potter, this series may become your next obsession!
