A Court of Thorns and Roses

By Sarah J. Maas

This series was recommended to me again and again. I started reading the hardcover from the library, and was having a hard time focusing enough to get drawn in. I’m sure eventually I would have gotten hooked, but upon checking my library’s phone app, I found that the audio version was available in 2 days, so I placed a hold on it and once I was able to download it, I got through it in 2 days. I wanted to compare it to Beauty and the Beast, sometimes.

Feyre is a young woman trying to survive and keep her family alive in the forest, hunting for their food and protecting them. She gets herself into a situation when another creature, and she’s not even sure what it is at first, starts hunting the same doe. She ends up killing the doe, and a wolf…but it’s not just any wolf. After some time passes, the door of her family’s cabin is broken down by a faerie demanding retribution, but not in the way she expects. In order to save her family, she was compelled to go and live with the faerie, since, he explains, the wolf was also a faerie. A life for a life.

The question is, does she warm up to the idea?
