Oh. My. God.
I’m fan girling over this book. Why the hell did I not read it earlier. Ahh Feyre! Ahh Tamlin! And my baby Lucian. And hello Rhysand.
I loved this book entirely. I loved the setting, the mystery, the violence and the tenderness.
It hit every beat and strummed every heart string. It was a book I needed and will forever love.
I was feeling down and in a bit of a slump with my reading and this book ignited everything within me again and made me remember the power of stories.
I don’t often give star ratings immediately when clicking finished on Goodreads but man did I hit the five star button fast.
I always feel intimidated, approaching a hugely celebrated book. I always worry about it living up to the hype but this truly did.
The best retelling I have ever encountered. I’ll put it straight out there. I’m not an original Disney fan. They were made in an era that didn’t portray women in any healthy sort of fashion. But Feyre is a badass. She defies gender roles, doesn’t shy away from her sexuality and is an all round fascinating character. The context between her parents, and how they behaved was really intriguing. I also loved the trio dynamic between her and her two sisters and how that developed. I loved her banter with Lucian, the tension between them when she first arrived and how it changed into friendship. I loved the tender moments between Tamlin and Feyre. But what I really found interesting was when Rhysand appeared into the picture.
But MY GOD! The plot! An incredible tale that took twists and turns and lead us into something my heart couldn’t escape from.
If you haven’t yet picked up this book, you so need to! This is my first SJM and I’m in love with her writing style. The character narration felt incredibly real and I can’t wait to pick up the next one and the beast that is Crescent City.
It’s going to be a wild ride, I can feel it. But I can’t wait to get lost in all of her worlds.
Thank you Sarah J Maas for reminding me what a story can do.
