Is Court of Thorns and Roses Spicy?
As a fellow book dragon who devours fantasy romance series, I‘m here to confirm that the Court of Thorns and Roses books do indeed bring some sizzling, red-hot spice!
Let‘s Just Say These Books Should Come with a Fire Extinguisher 🧯
The steaminess begins swirling early on when the fiery chemistry ignites between Feyre and Tamlin. But things really start smoking in book #2, A Court of Mist and Fury, when Feyre leaves Tamlin and falls for the brooding, sexy Rhysand instead.
According to Lovely Literature Reviews, the frequency of explicit, X-rated scenes skyrockets at this point. Book #2 contains 9 graphic sexual chapters, while books #3 and #4 each boast over 15 erotic scenes.
So if you enjoy following the lusty exploits of faerie characters, the Court of Thorns and Roses series will have your pulse racing quicker than you can shout "You beaked bastard!" 😆
ACOTAR Puts the Fantasy Back into Fantasy Romance
Let‘s cut straight to the steamy stuff. For those who savor all the sensual details just as much I do, here is the dish on how hot and heavy these books become…
ACOTAR Spice Meter 🔥🔥🔥🔥
| Court of Thorns and Roses | 🌶️🌶️ |
| A Court of Mist and Fury | 🔥🔥🔥🔥 |
| A Court of Wings and Ruin | 🔥🔥🔥🔥 |
| A Court of Silver Flames | 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 |
Yep, this series brings some serious spice as it progresses! The sexy scenes are very graphic with extensive sensual details that leave little to imagination. Here‘s a small taste from one steamy chapter:
"My hands shook as I unbuttoned his jacket, baring the muscled plane of his chest, his golden skin. I splattered kisses across his neck, his collarbone, lower, lower…"
And it only gets hotter from there! 🌡️
So while the romance remains crucial to the epic fantasy plot, let‘s just say these books aren‘t for the faint of heart…or other body parts! 😉
ACOTAR Heat Makes Fifty Shades Look Frosty ❄️
To offer some spicy perspective…
Popular mainstream erotica series like Fifty Shades, Crossfire, and After burn at around 3-4 flames on the spice meter. Court of Thorns and Roses blazes right past those to fully ignite at 4-5 flames! 🔥
So if you found those books a little too steamy, I‘d recommend keeping a fire extinguisher on hand with ACOTAR! 😜
Who Should Read This Red-Hot Fantasy Series?
Court of Thorns and Roses is marketed as New Adult rather than Young Adult due to the frequent, graphic sensual content.
Most retailers recommend the books for ages 18+ rather than 17+ because of language and sexual details. Many parents feel the erotic descriptions make it inappropriate for high school aged teens.
As Cat from The Bookish Crypt explains:
"These books 100% should‘ve been classified as adult fantasy romance. They are too racy and sexually-charged for teens…or anyone who doesn‘t enjoy reading explicit erotic scenes every few chapters."
So if you are an adult who craves smoking hot fantasy books with sizzling romance woven in, I‘d say Court of Thorns and Roses will leave you feeling pretty satisfied…and possibly needing a cold shower! 🚿😁
For those who prefer their YA fantasy less steamy, books like Throne of Glass, Shadow and Bone, and Six of Crows might be a better fit.
In Summary: Hell Yes, This Fantasy Romance Series Brings the Heat!
So if you enjoy passages likely to set your pages on fire 🔥 , I‘d say Court of Thorns and Roses will leave you smoking and breathless by the end! 🥵🧯
