Let's start out with the obvious - this book is nowhere near Maas' best. But, because of the triumph that is the Throne of Glass series, I trusted the process --and am so glad I did.
You've probably heard it before - A Court of Thorns and Roses starts slow. But it sets the stage for a series that has taken over social media. I think when people criticize ACOTAR, they often do so in the context of the four other books in this series. Of course it doesn't stack up against A Court of Mist and Fury, but what is does do is introduce a world, its characters, and lays the groundwork for an incredible reading experience that so many of us who've read this series wish we could experience again.
Personally, I love that Maas' series get better and better with each book - so many authors start out with their strongest work and fall short with the next installments. Often, they don't know when to wrap up a universe. Maas leaves us wanting more every time (as evidenced by those of us counting the days until Crescent City 3). And that's why you should read this book.
So, yes, I would recommend A Court of Thorns and Roses. But don't you dare stop here.
