Synopsis - The breathtaking start to a seductive high-fantasy from New York Times bestselling author of Throne of Glass series.
Feyre’s survival rests upon her ability to hunt and kill – the forest where she lives is a cold, bleak place in the long winter months. So when she spots a deer in the forest being pursued by a wolf, she cannot resist fighting it for the flesh. But to do so, she must kill the predator and killing something so precious comes at a price.
Dragged to a magical kingdom for the murder of a faerie, Feyre discovers that her captor, his face obscured by a jewelled mask, is hiding far more than his piercing green eyes would suggest. Feyre’s presence at the court is closely guarded, and as she begins to learn why, her feelings for him turn from hostility to passion and the faerie lands become an even more dangerous place. Feyre must fight to break an ancient curse, or she will lose him forever.
Feyre (Pronounced FAY - RAH) is a human who need to provide for her family as no one else can do it, so she hunts in the woods for meat and for things she can sell. When a wolf crosses her path she knows there is a chance its a Fey but she doesn't care, why should she after everything the Fey have done to humans. she is strong, independent and an iron willed female heroine it was a joy to read from her POV.
Tamlin (Pronounced TAM - LIN) is a high Fey who need Feyre to break a curse put upon him by the evil queen. Tamiln is Loyal, kind and different from other high Fey who still believe humans should be slaves.
The story was phenomenal and the world building was outstanding, it really gave me a sense i was right there with them watching it all happen. Reading some of the scenes it was like a movie playing in my head.
I was not a fan of the Love triangle, it didn't feel like a love triangle for me Rhysand (REE - SAND) doesn't really have a chance and that's not a love triangle in my opinion.
The other characters Lucian (LOO - SHIEN) and Alis (ALICE) where very good minor characters they gave the two main some of the best scenes in the book like setting them up with scenes and helping them to see the truth.
I only have one qualm and that was the ending to me the ending was more of a stand alone ending then the first book in a trilogy ending i probably would have just ended it on a bit of a cliffhanger because right now i just feel like i read a stand alone and there is nothing else to come.
Overall this was a fantastic book and if you haven't already you should give it a go.
