I'm not normally a fantasy fan, but after those flights I knew I picked up the first book in a series by Maas, one that is recommended as a great entry read for people newer to fantasy. The book did not disappoint! Beauty and the Beast meets grim dark magic in a romantic journey filled with faerie lore and adventure. A Court of Thorns and roses has a cult following for a reason—it's perfect for fantasy readers, romance readers, or readers just dipping their toes into the fantasy genre." Sara Show less
