Brilliant series that had me completely absorbed!
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!

A really good fantasy read.
Bought as a present but now reading for myself. Well written and you can fully immerse yourself in another world. I will be buying successive series.

A romantic fantasy mix of Beauty and the Beast, and Game of Thrones
Could not put these books down. I have never read a book set (almost 3,000 pages in total!) so fast in my life.Amazing world and character building, that draws you right into the story. Great pace of action that keeps you reading. And plenty of, er... spice 😉.The last book (Silver Flames) is written from a different character's perspective to the others, which I was apprehensive about because this person isn't a very likeable character in the other books, but that was really good too. Especially as you learn what they have been going through and so see things from their perspective.Cannot wait for the next book to be released. Hurry up Sarah please 🙏.(ps. at the time of writing this review, you can buy the books individually on Amazon cheaper than the boxset).

Enjoyable but..
I enjoyed these books. I am currently on book four not yet reaching book five. I am enjoying the plot, the characters, the twists. I think so far book two has been my absolute favourite. I enjoyed book one. Book three was okay but felt a bit of a drag. But I pushed through and im glad I did. Towards the end of the book it started to improve. The author is talented in making someone feel torn between characters and making you torn whether to hate them or love them or dislike them. I have battled with my emotions towards certain characters . I have cried and laughed reading these books. And felt connected to some of the characters.But and this is a big but!What I am not enjoying is the over use of the sentence "my toes curled" used in almost every book and almost every romantic or intimate scene. It's so off putting and cringe. It's been overused. I plan to read the author's other books after I finish this series and I really hope that sentence is not in those other books or overused in them. As it has ruined part of these books for me. There are other terms and sentences to explain how someone is feeling you don't need to overuse the same sentence. I hope this stops in future books.
