Should You Read 'A Court of Thorns and Roses'? - The Everygirl

Image
There has truly never been a book series as heavily marketed to me as Sarah J. Maas's A Court of Thorns and Roses . I haven't been able to escape the series since the first book was published in 2015. But, despite my love for adult fantasy, they just never made it into my miles-long TBR pile (much to the chagrin of my best friend, who had to deal with me procrastinating this series for an entire year after she read it).

At the end of one of her first days on the job at Pantheon books in January 2021, Lisa Lucas picked up her iPad, settled into a couch and began swiping through the manuscript of an unpublished novel called "Sweet, Soft, Plenty Rhythm." Written by Laura Warrell, the story follows a jazz musician and his entanglements with a dozen or so women. As Lucas devoured its pages, she slipped into a kind of trance. Hours ticked by. The sun set outside her windows, and still she could not stop reading. Lucas was captivated by the novel's inventive form, the way it reveals the plot through a kaleidoscope of female voices, but her response to the manuscript went deeper than just aesthetic appreciation. The musician at the center of the novel is racially mixed, and the world he inhabits is rich with every kind of diversity: social, ec...
