Confessions of a Book Girl: My Obsession with A Court of Thorns and Roses (And Why Sarah J. Maas Just Won My Heart)

Hello, my ItGirls!

Let me set the scene: a cosy blanket, a hot drink, and me curled up with a book that’s kept me absolutely hooked. Yes, I’m talking about A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas – an author who’s not just shaken up my reading habits but completely redefined my genre obsession. I’m currently diving headfirst into A Court of Wings and Ruin, and let me tell you, this book is everything. It’s enchanting, dangerous, and yes, totally swoon-worthy.

Now, for anyone who hasn’t stepped into the wild world of Prythian yet (where have you been?), let me give you a little tease without spoiling the fun. Picture this: a cursed land, complex courts, a seductive dark prince, and one fierce Cursebreaker of a heroine. Normally, I’m a romance girl through and through – give me all the love stories, heartbreaks, and dreamy happy endings. But this series? It’s got me switching lanes faster than you can say “fae magic.” Sarah J. Maas has created a world that’s as intoxicating as it is terrifying, and somehow, she’s managed to make every book in the series feel fresh and gripping. At this point, even after multiple books, I’m nowhere near tired of it.

Now, being on A Court of Wings and Ruin, I feel like I’m deep into the heart of the series, where things are at their most intense. And can we just take a moment to appreciate the romance? The chemistry between the dark prince and the Cursebreaker is nothing short of electrifying. Maas has crafted a romance that feels as dangerous as it is desirable – and it’s the type of tension that has me reading way past my bedtime. Every chapter pulls you further into this epic tale of love, power, and survival, and let me tell you, it’s a ride. No spoilers here, but trust me when I say: this couple is fire, and I am so here for it.

While I’m head over heels for the world of Prythian, BookTok has not been making it easy to stick with just one series. My feed is constantly flooded with new releases, reading lists, and all the hottest recommendations, and it’s so hard not to get tempted. Every time I scroll, I spot another must-read fantasy or dark romance that has me ready to dive into a new fictional world. But for now, I’m sticking with Sarah J. Maas and her wild imagination – there’s something so thrilling about completely immersing myself in this series without distraction.

I’ll admit, as much as I love a good love story, Maas has officially opened my eyes to a whole new side of fantasy. Who knew I’d be so captivated by a world of fae, political intrigue, and battles of wills? If you haven’t started A Court of Thorns and Roses yet, you’re seriously missing out on some of the best escapism out there. This series is long, yes, but it’s the type of journey that pulls you in and makes you forget the real world even exists. Plus, it’s always a thrill to join the fan discussions and hear what everyone else thinks of the twists and turns. The more I read, the more I appreciate just how brilliant Sarah J. Maas is – she’s mastered the art of keeping readers invested with every cliffhanger and every steamy scene.

And once I finally finish the series, you know I’ll be back for more BookTok gems. There are so many amazing new reads out right now that are dying for my attention, and let’s be honest – there’s nothing quite like that “new book” feeling. But I’m taking my time with this one. Maas has made fantasy feel not just approachable, but downright addictive, and I plan to savour every page.

So, if you’re in the mood for something a little different, a little dangerous, and a whole lot delicious, grab yourself a copy of A Court of Thorns and Roses and thank me later. This is one journey you won’t regret taking – trust me, this series has the perfect mix of magic, romance, and thrills to keep you up at night.
