Given the popularity A Court of Thorns and Roses has on GoodReads, I feel I may be in the current minority. I didn't enjoy reading this book at all - the character is a flat, lifeless Mary Sue, and the rest of the cast are so cardboard cut-out it may as well Feyre sitting by herself surrounded by puppets. Everyone's role in her life is clear: The helping hand, the love interest, the love interest's friend, the antagonist. No one seems to have any purpose outside of that, and it leads to a very shallow feeling world and story. 
 Feyre herself is young, beautiful, and good at everything she tries. Her only difficulties seem to circle around being too curious and inevitably getting into trouble (ignoring every warning she gets), but still managing to prove herself and get out of every element of danger without real consequences. The development of her getting over her hatred of the Fae is far too rushed and without any real concrete explanation other than her sudden crush on Tamlin, who is revealed to be one of the High Lords of the Fae and remains her captor. As the book begins to unapologetically turn into a less child-friendly version of Twilight, the explanation of why she was taken from her family for her crime, yet not killed, is revealed - and is the most weak Beauty and the Beast rip-off I have ever read. I was hoping the eventual end would make up for the weak build-up, but naturally a structure without a foundation will simply collapse. That's exactly how I would describe the ending of this book. 
 If you're looking for some softcore fantasy erotica with a dash of Bella Swan, this book is for you. An easy read with not much to process.
