Book Besties Season 3, Episode 24.5 – Thom’s ACOTAR Review

Thom had some very “pointed” things to say about Sarah J Mass’ A Court Of Thorns And Roses. Come, let us explore the verbose lexicon of an illiterate human hunter. In this episode Thom discusses relationship advice for both men and women, He shares his thoughts on the dark hidden side of the “blessed” and their true purpose while subjecting the listeners to some of his own fairy porn. This and other musings are what make this a truly terrible book. There are some serious plot holes and other issues, so why did Thom rate this book a 4.5 out of 5?
