A Court of Thorns and Roses Paperback Box Set (5 books): The first five books...

A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES Feyre is a human huntress struggling to keep her family alive. After killing a wolf in the woods, she is taken across the wall into Prythian by Tamlin—a powerful High Fae who is very attractive, occasionally furry and unsurprisingly hiding quite a lot of information. This begins with Beauty and the Beast vibes before becoming something much darker and more dangerous. I really enjoyed discovering Prythian alongside Feyre. The courts, the magic and the fae politics create such a vivid world, and you can feel that Sarah J. Maas has only shown us a tiny portion of it. The second half becomes almost impossible to put down. Feyre’s strength isn’t based on magical abilities or fighting experience—she survives through determination, stubbornness and her refusal to abandon the people she loves. A brilliant introduction to the series and an easy five stars!!! A COURT OF MIST AND FURY ACOMAF is the book where everything CHANGES—and it remains one of my favourite fantasy books EVER!!! Feyre survived the events of the first book, but survival has left its mark. She’s traumatised, lost and attempting to squeeze herself back into a life that no longer fits her. Then an old bargain pulls her towards the Night Court—and RHYSAND—where secrets are revealed, new friendships are formed and Feyre begins to understand that healing doesn’t mean returning to the person she was before. I loved EVERYTHING about this. The character development, the found family, the banter, the slow-burn romance and the fact that the love story is built around somebody encouraging Feyre to discover her own strength. And RHYSAND. No notes. Solid book-husband material. Possibly the NUMBER ONE book husband of all time!!! This book is SO much better than the first one and is where the ACOTAR series really starts to take shape. An absolute favourite and obviously five HUGE stars!!! A COURT OF WINGS AND RUIN WAR has arrived, alliances must be formed and Feyre has officially run out of patience for everybody’s nonsense!!! The beginning was frustrating. I wanted Feyre back in the Night Court ASAP. But we get there eventually. I loved seeing more of the different courts and their rulers. The political meeting alone contains enough tension, insults and general chaos to sustain an entire book 😂 This book also demonstrates exactly why the found family is so special. Every character has something to lose, and the loyalty between them completely destroyed me. The final section had my heart racing and then thoroughly broke it. One of my favourites in the series and another enormous five-star read!!! A COURT OF FROST AND STARLIGHT Basically, the ACOTAR Christmas special!!! After the emotional destruction of ACOWAR, I genuinely appreciated spending some quieter time with these characters while they rebuilt their homes, exchanged presents and attempted to process everything that had happened. Is there an enormous amount of plot? No. Do you even NEED to read this one? Probably not—but why would you not?! It begins setting up the emotional struggles and future storylines of several characters—particularly Nesta—so it isn’t entirely festive fluff. A cosy little bridge between the larger books and five stars from me because I would happily read about the Inner Circle completing their weekly food shop. A COURT OF SILVER FLAMES Nesta Archeron is angry, traumatised and determined to push away anybody who tries to help her. Unfortunately for her, Cassian is equally stubborn and absolutely refuses to be frightened off. I know Nesta is divisive, but I loved that her healing journey wasn’t neat or particularly likeable. Trauma doesn’t always make people quietly sad. Sometimes it makes them furious, destructive and almost impossible to reach. The female friendships in this book are EVERYTHING. Watching Nesta, Gwyn and Emerie train together, support each other and create their own version of family was one of my favourite parts of the entire series. Then we have Cassian. Funny, loyal, patient and built like an actual wall. We love to see it!!! He’s also more my type physically than Rhysand. Actually, HE might be my number-one book husband! This is heavier and considerably spicier than the previous books—some of which made me feel a bit ick, if I’m honest. But alas... we shall all keep our hands on the headboard until further notice. Five stars!!!

These books are amazing and you can tell that they were clearly thought out from the beginning. The story and writing style stays so consistent through them and the story is an emotional rollercoaster but also thrilling, spicy and very fulfilling. I look forward to the next 2 when they release and I now need to read the other 2 series (Throne of glass and Crescent City asap)

A phenomenal series – 5 stars easily! First of all, the hardback books themselves were absolutely stunning. They arrived in perfect condition with no damage whatsoever and were really well packaged, so I was incredibly happy with the physical set. But the SERIES… oh my god. 🤩 This was phenomenal. Book 1 completely drew me in, Book 2 was WOW, Book 3 somehow managed to be even better, Book 4 was a little Christmas filler but honestly, it was SO good, and Book 5 was easily my favourite. I was completely invested by the end! The world-building was one of my favourite parts. The descriptions are so incredibly detailed that you can genuinely picture what is being described and completely immerse yourself in the world. It felt so easy to get lost in the story. The characters were also amazing. There are definitely characters you will love 💀 and characters you will absolutely dislike l, if you know, you know!🐺 😂 but the character development throughout the series was done so well. Every character felt like they had their own personality, growth and story, and the descriptions made it so easy to picture them. And the Bat Boys… 🥹 You will fall in love with them and never go back. Honestly, enough said. The plot flows brilliantly and never felt like it was being rushed. The twists were perfectly executed, and there was such a good balance of emotion, romance, action and tension. There were moments where I was shocked, emotional, excited and completely unable to put the book down. Honestly, a 5-star series read without a doubt. If you haven’t read ACOTAR yet, you NEED to! I absolutely understand the hype now. 😂 I am already absolutely buzzing for Books 6 and 7! Please hurry up! 😭📚✨

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!

Absolutley love this series! Could not put it down.

I finally picked up the A Court of Thorns and Roses series after hearing about it everywhere and I can confidently say it deserves the praise. Sarah J. Maas creates an immersive world filled with magic, political intrigue, unforgettable characters and emotional storytelling that only gets better with each book. The first book is a solid introduction with a Beauty and the Beast-inspired storyline, but it's really A Court of Mist and Fury that completely changed the game for me. The character development, slow-burn romance, emotional healing, and found family dynamics were incredible. Every relationship felt meaningful, and I became deeply invested in the entire Inner Circle. What I loved most was how each book expanded the world and gave the characters room to grow. The emotional moments hit hard, the banter was excellent, and I found myself laughing, crying, and staying up way too late because I couldn't stop reading. My only reason for not giving the overall series a perfect score is that the first book starts a bit slowly, and the pacing occasionally drags in places. That said, every book builds toward something bigger, and the payoff is absolutely worth it.

Had these books as an audiobook and never really liked it all that much but after me girlfriends kept talking about how good it was I tried again. I get the hype. If you read fantasy as a kid and like a little spice I would highly recommend.

Finally read the series the whole of book tok seems to have read. Loved it. Desperately want a happy ending for Lucien I hope he finds one, and Cassian is my fave bat boy. Nesta is a lucky woman!

My driver, Yondela Mhluzi was so sweet & friendly! My books are arrived in perfect condition. They are absolutely beautiful. Thank you Amazon SA!

perfect. so perfect. good price too

A read these books on my kindle but had to have the boxed set for my library. I thoroughly enjoyed each book individually, and can't recommend the entire series strongly enough. I finished the entire five-book A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas and I can honestly say this became one of the most immersive fantasy worlds I’ve read in years. What begins as a Beauty and the Beast-inspired fantasy quickly evolves into something much larger — political intrigue, war, found family, trauma, healing, sacrifice, and some of the most emotionally satisfying character arcs I’ve encountered in fantasy romance. Each book expands the world in ways that feel richer and more dangerous, while still keeping the emotional core deeply personal. The strength of this series is not just the romance — although the chemistry and tension are exceptional — it’s the way the characters evolve through grief, power, loyalty, and survival. The friendships and chosen family dynamics were just as compelling to me as the romantic relationships. I became completely invested in these characters. The writing is cinematic and addictive. There were moments that genuinely shocked me, scenes that made me emotional, and chapters I stayed up far too late reading because I couldn’t stop. The pacing across the series builds beautifully, especially from book two onward, where the story truly becomes unforgettable. If you enjoy fantasy with strong heroines, morally gray characters, political tension, emotional depth, romance, and high stakes, this series absolutely lives up to the hype. By the end, it felt less like finishing a book series and more like leaving behind a world I had lived inside for weeks. Highly recommended for fans of epic fantasy romance.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tropes 💖 Enemies to Lovers 💖 Fated Mates 💖 Forced Proximity 💖 Found Family Trust when they say to get through book 1! I read this back at the start of October 2023. The first series I read in the Maas universe. I won’t spoil too much in the series, but it was a whirlwind of a time reading through this! I bought the ebook bundle before the physical copies, and with a bundle, it puts all the books together into one file, so there were no breaks for me! I power read it all within 2 weeks 😂 - This was when Bub was still sleeping for most of the day, so I had plenty of time on my hands! The first book was a mission for me to get through! I didn’t like Tamlin from the get go, so I really couldn’t get into his interactions with Feyre. He gave me the ick, and I was always questioning why he was the main love interest 😅 This series almost became a DNF series for me. ALMOST. I’m so glad I listened to my book besties to keep on going, because the rest of the series made it so worth it. I loved it. The world building was strong. There was a lot of attention to detail to bring in twists together, and it was mind blowing to see it unfold. It’ll make you want to read the series again and again to check the finer details you missed - I did 😅. Feyre’s love relationship was top tier - Loved the banter, and chapter 54 in ACOMAF was where it was at. They were my comfort couple. I loved how powerful they were on their own, and together. It was good to see Sarah branch out to the other characters towards the end. From 3 books on Feyre’s love story, it was a nice change to introduce the lives of the other characters! Nesta and Cassian were 🥵. I definitely want to learn more about Amren, and also Mor! But I’m rooting for the next book to be on Azriel🤞🏼I got a soft spot for him 👉🏼👈🏼
