Feyre Archeron is a young woman risking her life to hunt in the forest so that her family can survive – their lives, once opulent and privileged, are now humbled by poverty. When Feyre brings down the wrong animal, she is captured and taken beyond the wall to the magical realm of the Fae, where her life will change completely. Expect romance and passion, darkness and light, friendship and enemies, life and death.
There is so much to rave about with this series! The world building, the characters and the interplay between them, the psychology, the plot that keeps you guessing, the love between friends as well as lovers, the magic, the trials, the suspense and action, the sacrifices people make for the ones they love. It is soooo good!
This is a series of five books, they’re not stand-alones. I enjoyed A Court of Thorns and Roses (#1), I loved A Court of Mist and Fury (#2), and A Court of Wings and Fury (#3) was absolutely outstanding – the fantasy was epic! The novella (#3.5) A Court of Frost and Starlight was poignant, and A Court of Silver Flames (#4) was excellent again for different reasons. Sarah J Maas sweeps you up on an emotional journey, I have sobbed into the pages, and she knew exactly what she was doing every step of the way. A thoughtful and clever storyteller – she should go into politics!
So is it worth all the hype? I think so. I cleared my weekend just so I could binge the last one – they’re not short books. I would recommend this series to both fantasy and romance fans.
Will it change the world?
As so often with fantasy, there’s a battle between good and evil, with the heroine resisting, so that people can be free. I hope that inspires people to stick up for the rights of others instead of waiting until it’s too late.
There is also a real appreciation of the impacts of all the events on a person afterwards. Like a real world heroine.
It explores that grey space between good and bad, which is where we all actually live.
