Apparently everyone knows this as ACOTAR, it’s the first in a very popular series. I think it is also comes under the genre of ‘high fantasy’.
Now, I don’t actually like reading ‘fantasy’ novels, Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, not really for me. I’m only reading this because it was recommended by a friend at work, plus she actually brought in the physical book.
It wasn’t terrible.
The issue I have with ‘high fantasy’ is that anything can happen! You have impossibly powerful unbeatable creatures, that can be beaten; people violently and brutally killed, that can be healed and brought back to life; plus ridiculous curse type treaties that have to be adhered to.
If you like this sort of book I’d imagine you’d enjoy it. I don’t like ‘high fantasy’ but I got through it! Put that on the posters!!
