THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Perfect for fans of Kristin Cashore and George R.R. Martin, this first book in a sexy and action-packed new series is impossible to put down!
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 over the faerie lands is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it . . . or doom Tamlin--and his world--forever.
The first half had me, I found Feyre convincing as a protagonist, her motivation was believable for me, and although knowing the story was reminiscent of Beauty and the Beast made the curse less suspenseful, I was still curious to see where it all led.
It dropped from a four-star to a three-star for me starting with the Rite, and Feyre’s disregard of the Very Important Rule not to leave the house, which felt inexplicable after all the smart choices she’d made up until then. And when Rhysand showed up, oh-ho, who’s this, a toxic love interest, methinks?
