A Court Of Thorns And Roses Summary

1282 Words6 Pages

A court of thorns and roses by Sarah J Maas “I was loosened, a top whirling around and around, and I didn't know who I danced with or what they looked like, only that I had become the music and the fire and the night, and there was nothing that could slow me down.” Genre: Young & New Adult/High Fantasy Rating: ✰✰✰.5 Started: 27.07.2015 Finished: 26.08.2015 Synopsis: When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution for it. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she only knows about from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal, but Tamlin—one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled their world. As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform …show more content…

I wasn’t interested in Feyres Fate or the whole romance. I wanted to know more about the courts and the whole world, but it wasn’t the main focus of the story, which I found really frustrating. Like I already mentioned after I reached the second half of the book the plot became more intriguing. A few things happened and finally Feyre became the character which I had longed for. A heroine that kicks some ass. Of course it’s hard for me not to compare this book to throne of glass, but I tried to be neutral. At the end of the book we get some plot twist, but it all happens really fast and would’ve needed more intense scenes rather than a few lines. Still, a certain twist at the end of the book made me want to have the second book in the …show more content…

It’s simply perfect and so rich in details and descriptions. You actually feel like you’re in this world with all the courts and magic. Still, this time I had some issues with it though. The first being the narration. I’m not someone who likes first person narrative, because I prefer different perspectives on the characters. Also different POVs would’ve made the book way more interesting. Another problem is that Feyre is actually not good with words, she only has a general education but nothing more, since she had to go hunting rather than reading. Still, she manages to describe her surroundings with such remarkable words, that she can’t know if she really is not that educated. This was bothering me a lot, because it was making the narration

  • How Does Pearl As A Rose Among Thorns Symbolize In The Scarlet Letter

    103 Words  | 1 Pages

    Throughout the novel Pearl’s characteristics refine diversely due to the fact that she acts on her observations. First off, the reference of Pearl as a rose among thorns helps to symbolize that through a terrible sin something beautiful is able to blossom from it. Accordingly Pearl’s phase of embodying a demon offspring is a reflection of Hester’s sin upon the child as she observes the scarlet letter. Likewise her observations of symbolism demonstrate her ability to vary upon the observations made. For this reason “such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning” without the ability to originate and develop over

    They are both YA books with strong female leads, competing in a competition, and then becoming a part of a rebellion. However, when you go deeper, there are numerous differences between the two books. Throne of Glass is a much heavier read than The Hunger Games, with the story taking an incredibly in depth look at the politics of Erilea, as well as developing the backstories and motives of several characters. Furthermore, in The Hunger Games, the entire series is written in the first person from Katniss’s point of view. Although Katniss is a good narrator, albeit a bit dramatic at times, we only see the rebellion through her eyes.

  • Summary Of Killers Of The Flower Moon

    202 Words  | 1 Pages

    In Killers Of The Flower Moon, David Grann uses diction to convey that injustices among the Osage stemmed from people’s attitude toward them. The Osage Nation had the realization that Anna’s “killer was living among them in sheep’s clothing” and they found it “unnerving” (Grann 36). It was told to the reader that the killer was unseen and people were starting to worry, as they had an “unnerving theory” (Grann 36). The killer was thought to be hiding in “sheep’s clothing” so, they were blending in with society and no one knew who they were. The Osage Nation had multiple ideas of who could have murdered Anna; her ex husband, Oda Brown, was one of them as he was upset but “in retrospect, his distraught manner had seemed almost too theatrically

    I was kinda disappointed with the setting. The story was meant to be in New Beijing, Futuristic China but we didn’t see much Chinese flavour in the story or any infusion of Eastern cultures or customs. But otherwise it was really good I think Marissa is more of a poet than a writer but this really intertwined well when describing the surrounding it made it much easier to imagine the scene, and this made me feel closer to the characters. I also felt that the author didn’t describe the backstory for the lunars well.

    DRAWING ROOM Without the preoccupation with fortification as the guiding force behind both the exterior and interior of the country’s aristocratic strongholds, these types of structures were free to evolve. According to English historian, author, and Chief Curator of Historic Royal Palaces, Dr. Lucy Worsley, as the Wars of the Roses came to an end in the late thirteenth-century so too did the need for defensive requirements of the manor house. In royal palaces, she expounds “this led to the development of a chain of elegant reception rooms: the presence chamber, the privy chamber, the withdrawing chamber, all leading into one another. In the first the King would receive honored strangers.
