I'm pleasantly surprised to be enjoying A Court of Thorns and Roses so far. I DNF'd Throne of Glass a few chapters in because I found the heroine insufferable and she loved to talk about how she was this badass assassin but never showed it.

For me, a huge part of why I love ACOTAR so far is that we actually see the heroine being a skilled hunter instead of just talking about how awesome she is at it. We also see some of what's at stake at the beginning because of her family's circumstances and the dynamic that's created for them, we see the heroine struggling (I'm at the part where she reveals that she's illiterate), and learning about the masks was a bit of body horror I thought was kinda neat. I'll have to read more of the book to figure out if I'm going to commit to this series, but so far I like ACOTAR and I wish I'd given it a chance sooner.
