Sarah J. Maas

When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a terrifying creature arrives to demand retribution. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she knows about only from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not truly a beast, but one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled her world.

At least, he's not a beast all the time.

As she adapts to her new home, her feelings for the faerie, Tamlin, transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But something is not right in the faerie lands. An ancient, wicked shadow is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it, or doom Tamlin-and his world-forever.

From bestselling author Sarah J. Maas comes a seductive, breathtaking book that blends romance, adventure, and faerie lore into an unforgettable read.

A fantastic retelling of Beauty and the beast!

here are some of my main problems with the book: 1. you kill a faerie and the punishment for that is living with the faerie’s friends in luxury for the rest of your life?? 2. the random, overly-detailed sexual encounters feyre has throughout the book. it’s too much and quite frankly, just gross. 3. THE FIRST HALF OF THE BOOK WAS SO BORING WTH. I HAD TO SKIP MOST OF IT. however, the last part of the book was enticing, while i still have problems with a lot of it. hopefully book 2 will redeem this one.

Lose yourself in a land of legends, a fae world so sumptuous that you may never return home . The tantalising start to a seductive high-fantasy trilogy from the New York Times bestselling author of the Throne of Glass series, Sarah J. Maas. Fans of Laini Taylor and George R.R. Martin will find it irresistible

got me into fantasy enjoyed the world building not sure if i will read the series yet but i did like it. great fall read.

Lack of immersion and world building.

This just wasn"t it.

Found it kinda boring but I am currently reading the second book and its a lot better.

2.4 stars I have to be honest . . . this book was hard to get through. It seemed like there was no plot for the first half of the book, then we did a 180 degree turn and suddenly, we're heading Under the Mountain and the action begins. Lucien had to be my fave character here. Feyre pissed me off on multiple occasions, and so did Tamlin. Alis remains to be a queen as usual. I actually really like Nesta, despite popular opinion. Tamlin doesn't connect with the people of his Court very much, which is concerning considering how he rules them. Rhys PISSED ME OFF. Both Tamlin and Rhys were abusive here. I HATED how Rhys made Feyre dress. It dehumanized her to simply a body, then he DRUGGED her. I- ALSO, when he grabbed her bone and twisted . . . I actually was seeing red. I wanted to scratch and claw at him. Amarantha was brutal. Anywho, Feyre had some badass moments here that salvaged the book but other than that, it was an okay read.

I forget how much I loved this book no wonder I used to love reading a few years ago, it was so adictive and funny and heart breaking but cool I cannot wait to pick up the second one. 

Feyre is that typical selfless heroine who wants only good to come out of her actions and although she can be frightfully stubborn, she's still fantastic.

I’m sooooooo disappointed by this book - I really thought I would like this series which is why I bought ALL FIVE BOOKS 😂😂😂 I bought them ahead of time together so that they were cheaper. The main character is super annoying and would literally give her life for this man she basically just met - ew. The author starts to use the word “naught” a lot, and “save for” instead of “except”… like why are you so attached to these words. The main character also has a weird hidden talent for painting?? so random and doesn’t tie in well with anything else in the book, but she references her paintings like… A LOT. can’t believe I’m going to have to read at least two more of these rip. I will say that if the author had written these more in like a harry potter style then the plot could actually have potential.

I wanted to like this book. I really did. Feyre is a seemingly strong, Katniss character. She hunts, feeds her family, does business at the market. Yet, she only does this because she is bound to a promise by her dead mother. Her sisters are ungrateful and useless, her father is damaged/incapable of running the household. Feyre does everything. One of her sisters is too stuck-up to help out, and the other is too childish. Feyre does nothing to correct them. Fine, I get it- she still loves them even if they're lowkey abusive. After a series of events, she's whisked away to the home of a High Fae, which she's supposed to be grateful for because it was either that or death. Initially, she wants to go back but she soon realizes that the only place she is safe is with Tamlin, the handsome faerie cursed with a masked face. Naturally, their attraction for each other grows. Feyre keeps doing risky things, like sneaking out during a faerie festival and going out into the woods, where all sorts of monsters lurk. At this point I could hardly stand Feyre. She just wanted attention. Where was my tough, strong huntress? She was replaced by a weak romantic who couldn't resist the pull of the beat of the drums, of the faerie illusions, etc. I'll admit, I'm picky about the books I read. If a character does something I remotely don't like, it's over. Maybe I'm having a bad day and the character is too happy-go-lucky. Maybe I stopped believing in love a long time ago and I can't stand it when the character says [spoilers removed]. Because that's what happened. And I stopped reading after that. Feyre. I expected so much of you. And I get that you're sexually frustrated and feel trapped and just want someone to love you, but PLEASE. DO something instead of letting the faeries pull you this way and that. EDIT: 2023 I started reading this book again before trying the Thorn of Glass series this year and found the main character so annoying... then I looked it up and realized I had written a review 7 years prior with equal annoyance. Not reading Sarah J. Maas ever again...

Il primo libro in cui il bene vince sul male grazie al potere dell'arrapamento invece di quello dell'amicizia
