A Court of Thorns and Roses Coloring Book Paperback – Coloring Book, May 2, 2017

Came in good condition. Gorgeous pictures. Good quality/thick paper. Quotes from the books on the left side to match the pictures on the right. Very lovely. Only concern would be how small the details can be in some of these pictures. May be tedious/difficult to color. The pages are big, though, so it does give you more space to work with.

The media could not be loaded. Attached to this review will be a silent flip-through of the entire coloring book and some sample photos so you can make an informed decision as to whether or not it will work for you.I am really happy with this coloring book (as I was with the book based on Sarah J. Maas “Throne of Glass" series.) The designs are beautifully done by a team of illustrators (Charlie Bowater, Adrian Dadich, Yvonne Gilbert, John Howe, and Craig Phillips.) While their styles differ and once again one artist in particular is quite different in style, each artist is tasked with a series of illustrations which brings a sense of cohesion to the whole book.The 46 designs are based on the three books: “Court of Thorns and Roses”, “Court of Mist and Fury” and “Court of Wings and Ruin”. There is a quote from the book on the facing page of design so you know which book and which scene the design pertains to.This is what I found while coloring in this book and testing the paper with my coloring medium.46 A Court of Thorns and Roses Designs by five artistsPrinted one side of page (with book excerpts on the back of the page)Paper is heavy weight, white, ever so slightly rough, and perforatedSewn bindingDesigns are printed beyond the perforations and merge into the binding. Nothing essential will be lost if you remove pages at the perforations.Alcohol-based markers bleed through this paperWater-based markers, gel pens, and India ink pens did not bleed through the paper. Some gel pens require additional drying time.Colored pencils worked really well with the paper. The slightly rough texture of the paper provided good tooth which allowed pigment to easily adhere to the page. I test both oil and wax based pencils and both worked well. I could layer the same color for deeper pigment, layer multiple colors and blend easily using a pencil style blender stick.If I use alcohol-based markers with this style of book (printed one side of page) but I use a blotter page of card stock under my working page to keep ink from seeping through. I would suggest either using a blotter page or removing the coloring page from the book beforehand if you use alcohol-based markers.

I love everything about this coloring book and will be gifting this to my best friend for Christmas because she got me into the ACOTAR series🥰 I love how the scenes in the coloring pages also have the text to go with them! This is hands down one of the best coloring books I’ve ever seen.

I'm so glad I got this coloring book. The illustrations throughout are gorgeous, and I love the quotes opposite each picture. It's detailed but not to the point of being stressful to color. The pages are nice and thick, smooth to blend. The style in which it's drawn makes for a nice guide if you decide to do some shading. It's been years since I've done any visual art, but I've been relaxing and enjoying this each night.I recommend soft colored pencils as opposed to the harder more waxy ones. I am using Faber Castel soft pencils in the attached photo. I unfortunately tore part of a different page by trying to blend and burnish with pencils that were too firm, so just keep that in mind. Slowly add your layers and enjoy the process.

Beautiful book to color and revisit the world of ACOTAR, the spring court, the surriel, the weavers cottage, Feyre Darling, Rhysand, Vellaris...it's all here waiting for you to bring it to life. Easy tear pages, one sided sheets with book excerpts of the opposite page so you can freely use your media of choice. This was colored with Prismacolor Premiers, and Oahu dual tipped.Alcohol Markers. Enjoy! Worth every penny.

A+ A+ A+ excellent quality. The pages are thick enough I don't anticipate any bleed through. The perforation are quality, easy to tear out individual pages with no torn side of page.

Ive never colored in it. Just need it to complete the series. The illustrations are wondeful and it looks great next to all the other books.

My granddaughter loved the spiral format because she can use markers and they won't bleed onto the next page because pictures are not back to back. The spiral format makes it much easier for coloring without having to work with the binding.
