Summary: "When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution for it. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she only knows about from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal, but Tamlin—one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled their world.
As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow grows over the faerie lands, and Feyre must find a way to stop it . . . or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever."
I wish I could give this book more than five stars. I loved the premise of the book even before I read it (Sarah J. Maas wrote it, how could it be bad?!), and I was not disappointed. There are too many things to gush about. I love Feyre. She's not willing to be run over by some arrogant faerie. She also takes care of her family, and puts her own needs and wants second.
Tamlin. There were several times I needed to fan myself after reading certain passages. He is gorgeous, brooding, and powerful. Everything a High Lord should be.
After reading this book, I am left with several questions. How does Feyre's mother play into all this? Why is the kingdom across the sea so special? I can't wait for the next book to come out.
Disclosure: I received a digital galley of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
This was a great book. I hadn't read her other books before diving into this and I can see why everyone loves her. She has a way with words. I cannot wait until the next book comes out either.
