A Court of Thorns and Roses: Sarah J. Maas

Product Information

Multiple uses of crude language, including "s--t," "balls," "damn," and "hell," most often as "go to hell."

This almost reads like bad fanfiction of the first book. I really don't feel like Rhyand and Feyre were destined to be together from the beginning. I felt like maybe Maas initially planned on a love triangle but maybe thought Rhysand was too rough around the edges, and so worked double-time trying to find reasons to excuse all of his behavior and make him supes enamored with the heroine. The greatest death in this series wasn't Junian's or Amarantha's... it was Tamlin's character. AGE RATING – Okay so age rating, this book and the other books in the series have a couple explicit intimate scenes which I think aren’t really suited to younger readers so if you look online many parents say that it should not be a YA (young adult) book and is suited for teen over the age of 17 but overall people say that 15+ is what this book should be rated. I really don’t think it depends on so much the age but the reader’s maturity and knowledge on the subject, for example, you could have a 15-year-old with the maturity of a 9-year-old so you wouldn’t give the book to that kid but you could have a 13-year-old with the maturity of an 18-year-old. So I believe that it really just depends on the persons’ maturity and understanding of the topic but with that, I’m not saying give this book to a 9-year-old to read that’s not what I am saying at all. So I would say this book would be okay for 14 + maybe even a 13-year-old but anything younger I would not recommend but also take in their maturity as they may even be more mature than a 17-year-old.She had every right to leave the mansion and let him stew for a while, but if that is the result of months and months of undying love, well. He stopped being worth of her love maybe, but I don’t think she fought for it that hard either, especially if he really was dealing with some PTSD. I think love is also about trying to fight for the other person even when they don’t seem to fight for us, to give them time, to give them chances, even though at one point we have to stop. It just would have been nicer and more enjoyable if Feyre’s affection’s shift hadn’t been so swift, that’s it.

Anyway, I hope this review helped. I loved this book and if you decide to read this book I hope you love it too! There is sex in this book. Two characters have sex and Feyre has had a past lover as well as all of the other characters (you know, considering they’re immortal). I didn’t think they were very graphic but that’s just my opinion. A character must have sex in a ritual to help the yearly crops in their land. Their is one (at least I think it’s one) heated make-out session between two character’s. Feyre is also dressed in a very revealing outfit. As I’ve said before don’t let sex in a book stop your child from reading it. To answer questions about A Court of Thorns and Roses, please sign up. Kimberly No, the series' are alike (they have faeries) but they are not a part of the same story. Alli no, but you should read throne of glass because it is so good! Is the Court of thorns and Roses a young adult book? On a chirpier note though, I'll go drown myself into a hell of a long book-slump because nothing, absolutely nothing can come close to this glorious book while its remnants shine so brightly in my mind.As in the previous books, characters use a lot of crude language and swear words -- e.g., "f--k," "s--t," "piss," "pr--k," "bastard," "ass," "hell," "damn." Sometimes as terms of endearment. Feyre is a strong female protagonist. I, personally, quite liked they way Sarah J. Maas wrote her character. Feyre is smart despite not knowing how to read or write but she’s still able to provide for her family, which I thought was a great message saying that everyone is smart in their own way. Tamlin and Lucien are both very loyal and all three of them make sacrifices for one another. The swearing in this book is moderate but I didn't find it bad, I'm exposed to it on a daily basis not because of my parents but because of my friends and school. If you are reading this and have not already read the Throne of Glass series, please go read those books first because in my opinion, they are way better than the ACOTAR series. I read this series after reading ToG because I was dying for more Sarah j. Maas books, and I was kind of disappointed. I wasn’t a big fan of the plot, and I didn’t really connect with the characters. The first book is ok, but the further you go into this series, the more s*x there is. This is definitely not for anyone under the age of 13, and even then for mature teens. Honestly the side characters were more interesting and had more character growth and personality than the main character. It may be because this series is shorter than Throne of Glass, but in ToG I connected with the characters and by the end I really loved them and will never forget them whereas these characters felt very shallow in comparison. If you are here for the romance, then by all means read this series, but if you want a strong plot and deep characters, this series just was not it. The new characters are all nice and pretty and invariably haunted by a dark dark past. It’s nice to read about them

Under the Mountain, Feyre gets punched in the face, and several faerie creatures break her nose. The tasks Amarantha ask her to complete are especially brutal and gory. She hunts a giant worm in an underground labyrinth of mud and filth. She sets a trap, creating bone spikes out of other creatures the worm had killed, and the large creature impales itself. In the process, Feyre breaks her forearm; the bone protrudes from the skin. It’s days before Rhysand comes to her prison cell to heal her. The infection from the injury almost kills her. Initially, Feyre turns down Rhysand’s help. He grabs her broken arm and twists it, causing her excruciating pain. Did you know you can flag iffy content?

Get started Close I read this when I was 12 and it didn't bother me, lots of people are saying that there is too much sex and no one under 18 or 16 should read it, but to be honest it's not that bad. I'm desensitised to it, mainly because I used to read a lot of Wattpad but also because I watch 18s and a lot of sex on the TV. A wild new take on “Beauty and the Beast” in a world where humans and the faeries who once enslaved them live separated by a wall erected under Treaty. AND THE NIGHT OF STARFALL. OMG MY BABIES. THEY WERE AT THE BALCONY AND THEY WERE SHARING PERSONAL THINGS (I LIVE FOR THESE MOMENTS). AND THE ABSOLUTE MOST ADORABLE THING THAT HAPPENED WAS WHEN THEY BOTH WERE HIT IN THE FACE BY THE STARLIGHT AND LAUGHED. LAUGHED. AND SMILED SO MUCH. FEYRE HADN'T SMILED LIKE THAT IN FOREVER. AND OH DEAR LORD SAVE ME, I'M PICTURING THE GRIN RHYSAND GAVE FEYRE RIGHT NOW AND IT MAKES ME MEEEELLLLTTTT. I JUST SIMPLY CANNOT.

I think it wise to read this yourself first, and if you are unwilling to do so, or it's not your style - err on the side of caution and delay a year longer before recommending this to your child. I've just finished it and am happy to let my 15 year old read it. When I was much younger, 12 -13 I discovered much more sexually explicit books and delighted in them, which is all part of growing up. Chances are, if you're questioning if your teenager can handle sexual content - you're too late anyway due to what they've undoubtedly already consumed. You think I don’t know how stories get written—how this story will be written?” Rhys put his hands on his chest, his face more open, more anguished than I’d seen it. “I am the dark lord, who stole away the bride of spring. I am a demon, and a nightmare, and I will meet a bad end. He is the golden prince—the hero who will get to keep you as his reward for not dying of stupidity and arrogance.” The Night Court is the most beautiful thing ever. Could it be any better? No. It was perfection. And when Rhys winnows with her there, Feyre's first instinct is to throw a shoe at him. THE ALL-POWERFUL, MOST FEARED HIGH LORD OF THE NIGHT COURT GOT HIT BY A SHOE. It was adorable. The most special and bewildering aspect is the lush and vivid portrayal of the Night Court. Enthralling and contradictory, it completely enraptures you with its seductive tone. So different from the Spring Court (and Summer Court which we get to visit!!). But I expected something disheartening and equally dark, and while this mysterious court has that vibe and then some, there is also such glorious light and normalcy and elegance that reside in its spectrum. The Court of Nightmares gave me goosebumps. The Court of Dreams, however, gave me breath and life. The book centers in Velaris and ohmygod this city! I loved Velaris with all my being and if there ever was a fictional place or universe in which I'd want to live, then Velaris and the Night Court are it. For more on how the main romance is perpetuated by gaslighting, a trauma bond, dissociation, sexual assault, sexual harassment, lies, sexual stalking, control, isolation, manipulation, and more, please read this in depth analysis, which also sheds light on the racism and homophobia rampant in SJM's work in general.

Celaena Sardothien, heroine of the New York Times bestselling series, rises from the ashes to burn even brighter than before. it’s honestly really disappointing, it normalises a lot of really horrid behaviour and romanticises really possessive treatment of its mc, i don’t think younger teens should be reading this as they might romanticise these types of relationships Did you know you can flag iffy content?

Need Help?

For the third task, Amarantha asks Feyre to kill three innocent Fae. At first, Feyre is aghast at the thought of committing cold-blooded murder, but she realizes she must complete the task to save Tamlin, Prythian and the human realm. She tells herself that it’s three lives to save so many others. Whilst some sexual content focusing on the objectification of women is touched on at the end, much of the deeper connotations are lost to the less experienced - and pretending these elements aren't an intrinsic part of the very fabric of society is naïve and you do your teenage daughter a disservice by pretending otherwise. THE THIRD BOOK SHOULD BE CALLED "A COURT OF PAIN AND EMOTIONAL TRAUMA" BECAUSE THAT'S HOW IT'S PROBABLY GONNA GO. HERE COMES THE YEAR LONG WAIT. I DON'T THINK I'LL SURVIVE WITHOUT IT LONG ENOUGH. I WANT IT SOOOOO BADLY!!!!! I could go on and on forever about the many many many precious Rhys and Feyre moments, but let's talk about that ending. I like the action and the plot however, there is way to much sex, in my opinion. Keep in mind that it also uses the "s word and f word".
