Book Review: A Court of Thorns and Roses

I read this book on recommendation of someone from work, who had also read the book. Fantasy, and especially romantic fantasy, is really not my thing and I was, admittedly, a little doubtful as to whether this wouldn't just be smut, before I read.

I found the book was slightly "staccato", as in a bit jumpy between each paragraph to start with. This soon resolved itself, though.

It was thankfully not very smutty at all, really.

I did find the book quite well written, and had a good suspense and build of tension.

I also appreciate that the book functions as a standalone, and does not end up just cliff-hanging so you have to buy the rest of the series.

All in all, I did enjoy the book. I'm not sure I would read further instalments as I'm still not sure romantic fantasy is my kind of genre, but all in all, definitely a worthwhile read.
