A Court of Thorns and Roses Paperback Box Set (5 books): The first five books of the hottest fantasy series and TikTok sensation

Could not put these books down. I have never read a book set (almost 3,000 pages in total!) so fast in my life.Amazing world and character building, that draws you right into the story. Great pace of action that keeps you reading. And plenty of, er... spice 😉.The last book (Silver Flames) is written from a different character's perspective to the others, which I was apprehensive about because this person isn't a very likeable character in the other books, but that was really good too. Especially as you learn what they have been going through and so see things from their perspective.Cannot wait for the next book to be released. Hurry up Sarah please 🙏.(ps. at the time of writing this review, you can buy the books individually on Amazon cheaper than the boxset).

Absolutely fantastic story, thrilling from beginning to end. An emotional rollercoaster as each page turned, the best book series I have ever read

If you’re looking for brilliantly written escapism then the books by Sarah J Maas are for you. It’s hard to find the right balance of fantasy and romance but Sarah absolutely does this to a T.The characters and Fae world are thought through and well rounded, you can’t put the books down and I would highly recommend.

Well, I am very late on this bandwagon and thought I'd hop on board with low expectations. I finished the series in a week. I adored the writing style, the world building was amazing and magical, the characters multi faceted and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Out of the 5 books currently available I preferred ACOMAF, I felt so immersed in that and although ACOSF was a good read (warning: spice overload!) I just did not connect with Nesta/her perspective in this book, but appreciated the character arc (still dislike her though 😂). I am now converted to this genre and feel like I'll be exploring the rest of the authors works, I cannot recall the last time I read a book series so enjoyable, and may have developed an obsession! Cannot wait for the next installment

If I could give this series of books 10 stars I would. I have only read the first two books so far. If you enjoy fantasy fiction you will love this series. In my opinion far better than A discovery of witches. I can't wait to start book three.

I enjoyed these books. I am currently on book four not yet reaching book five. I am enjoying the plot, the characters, the twists. I think so far book two has been my absolute favourite. I enjoyed book one. Book three was okay but felt a bit of a drag. But I pushed through and im glad I did. Towards the end of the book it started to improve. The author is talented in making someone feel torn between characters and making you torn whether to hate them or love them or dislike them. I have battled with my emotions towards certain characters . I have cried and laughed reading these books. And felt connected to some of the characters.But and this is a big but!What I am not enjoying is the over use of the sentence "my toes curled" used in almost every book and almost every romantic or intimate scene. It's so off putting and cringe. It's been overused. I plan to read the author's other books after I finish this series and I really hope that sentence is not in those other books or overused in them. As it has ruined part of these books for me. There are other terms and sentences to explain how someone is feeling you don't need to overuse the same sentence. I hope this stops in future books.

I really enjoyed this series! I had never heard of this author until she kept coming up on TikTok videos. I love fantasy books, so I decided to give these a try. I was hooked within a few pages of ACOTAR and have been completely absorbed in the story for almost the entire box set. Every single book had me exhausted as I couldn't put them down and I read late into the night. The depth of characters and the world building is just enough that you feel each court, each person and each relationship come alive as you read along. The first book had me loving then hating Tamlin, Rhysand too, and I've enjoyed seeing Nesta's personality explaned as her charactor grew in ACOSF. I laughed and cried along the way as each character blossomed and grew page by page. I'm not sure what happened with ACOFAS, it was a bit boring, but I read it anyway. It doesn't really add anything to the rest of the story, so you could easily skip it and you wouldn't miss anything important. I 100% recommend these books, especially if you like a little bit of smut mixed in with your fantasy books! I found myself genuinely disappointed when I finished the last book, I hope there is another one! I've bought every book SJM has written because I've enjoyed these immensely and am about to start of Throne Of Glass. I hope they live up to my expectations!

This was a great series that I couldn't just put down. If Toulouse magic, stories of the fae and adventure to one's self then this is an ideal read, (the smut helps too). Could not put this down and cannot wait to the next chapter!
