A Court Of Thorns and Roses - Cover Judging and Chapters 1-3

Look, I’m a sleep-deprived dad of two who barely has time to read emails, let alone fantasy romance novels. But somehow, I found myself reading A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas — yes, that book TikTok keeps shouting about.

In this first episode of my journey through the ACOTAR series, I will judge the book by its cover, and dive into chapters 1 through 3. Spoiler: there are wolves, lots of brooding, and annoying family members.

If you're curious about ACOTAR but not sure it's your thing — or you're a fan who wants to hear a completely unfiltered, slightly confused take from someone who hasn’t ever read a fantasy book — this is the podcast for you.

🛌 In this episode:

• What’s going on with this book cover? Is this YA or adult fantasy or… something else?
• First impressions of Feyre (and how you pronounce that name)
• Thoughts on the writing style, pacing, and overall vibe
• My take on the world so far: bleak, snowy, and a bit stabby

Hit play and join me as I try to figure out what all the hype is about — one chapter (and one cup of coffee) at a time.
