The only SJM book I've read was A Court Of Thorns And Roses, and I didn't hate it, but I definitely found it extremely bland. And the protagonist was frustratingly daft and helpless for most of it. Plus that whole riddle thing was dumb AF.

It was dull enough that I haven't gotten around to trying book two yet, even though basically everyone says it's better.

/God/ that riddle.

Book 2 is only better if you really, REALLY like the "bad boy has a secret heart of gold" trope. If you don't like that trope, you're out of luck.

Yeah, I kind of got that vibe based on the end of book 1. I don't love that trope. I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. I will probably enjoy book 2 more on that front, if only because I find Feyre/Tamlin i n c r e d i b l y boring, to the point where there is literally no chance that Feyre and bad-boy dude (forgot his name) won't be at least slightly more interesting to me--even if it's only because at least they have UST on their side.

Still, "I guess I'm rooting for the bad boy, since at least he's marginally less boring than the good guy, plus the protag hasn't fucked him yet so there is a smidge of UST on his side," is not exactly the level of engagement one hopes for from their fun escapist fiction. lol

I mean in that case, I'd say give it a shot! Worse case scenario you know for sure, best case you have 600 pages of Rhysand content!
