A Court of Thorns and Roses

1. General Impressions

Gather initial thoughts and broad opinions about the book.

• What were your overall impressions of the protagonist, Feyre Archeron, particularly in terms of her relationships with Tamlin and Rhysand?
• Which part of Feyre’s journey from a young huntress protecting her family to a member of the High Fae did you find the most compelling? What did you find difficult to appreciate about her character arc?
• Did Rhysand’s offer to help in exchange for Feyre’s time feel like a fair trade, or can it be perceived as manipulative?

2. Personal Reflection and Connection

Encourage readers to connect the book’s themes and characters with their personal experiences.

• How did the novel’s theme of family values make you feel as a reader? Do Feyre’s decisions or feelings align with your own? 
• Have you ever been in a situation in which you felt obligated to perform a task to atone for an error? How did this pressure affect you?
• Could you envision yourself growing close to someone who had once treated you harshly or attempted to punish you for a mistake you made? What obstacles would you need to overcome with this person to engage in a meaningful relationship?
• How did Feyre’s openness about the trauma she experiences after imprisonment and death/rebirth affect you?
