Summary- 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.
Character Development:
•Feyre- is a unique character who is bound by a deathbed promise she made to her mother, to protect her family despite only being fourteen the first time she went into the woods to hunt for food. She’s very driven and always put everyone else’s needs before her own. But once she’s taken to The Spring Court you start to see her come into her stuff start to put herself before others and knowing that her family is taken care of enjoying things in life she didn’t think she could have like painting and freedom. However, when she realises her love for Tamlin she returns to save him from this wicked faerie Queen Amarantha and she’s such a strong badass character towards the end you see her become this person so driven by compassion and love and hell-bent on saving her lover and his court. Towards the end, she’s literally a whole new person.
•Lucien- though not as talked about but he was one of my favourite characters, I feel like he doesn’t get enough credit. Lucien is loyal and would do anything for Tamlin and the chemistry between him and Feyre is so beautiful how they develop a friendship how she becomes comfortable around him it’s so nice to see
•Tamlin- is a protector, it’s his instinct to protect his people, he’s this High Fae with the weight of the world on his shoulders and it’s the classic retelling of Beauty and the Beast where he is brooding and trying to impress the girl to break a curse and him and Feyre’s relationship is like of Belle and the Beast, to begin with
-Rhysand- My absolute Favourite character development from the first time i read about him to him becoming Feyre's guardian angel I loved every moment.
Writing and plot- Sarah J. Mass is a wonderful author. Her writing is done in a way that makes you fall in love with the characters she wants and hate the ones she wants you to hate and that is an excellent skill in an author to do so, I love how Feyre is so badass, and Sarah J. Mass is not shy to write gruesome scenes. In this book the plot stayed true to the Beauty and Beast plotline, the romance of it, I liked the romance between Tamlin and Feyre, is was interesting to see their relationship evolve and that to die for attitude Feyre has towards the end that she will save Tamlin or die trying.
Overall- I loved this book, and found it very interesting and love the whole fairy folklore theme fused with the beauty and the beast theme I thought it was very well done and Sarah J. Mass created an amazing world with fabulous characters.
