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.

Regardless of his motives or his methods, Rhysand was keeping me alive. And had done so even before I set foot Under the Mountain.

Such a good re-read. Love the foreshadowing.

I was searching an easy, light read after “I who have never known men”. This is the blueprint, most generic self-insert fantasy ever. I almost DNF-ed when the main character was revealed to be the chosen one who would literally break a magic curse if she had told the male lead “I love you”. Of course, only Feyre can save this immensely powerful High Lord. I didn’t find their romance very compelling, to the point where Feyre would break every bone in her body for Tamlin. I’m sure Tamlin is hot but every character just felt very flat. Alis as the deux ex machina lore dropper, Lucien as the sarcastic witty bodyguard bestie and Rhys as your dangerous baddie. I see why people like this series but I need better fantasy recommendations.

Extremely good world building. I like how Feyre went from being a cool hunter to a dumbass to being cool again. I like the characters there is a good range of good and evil and all the characters are thought through and have good stories. There were some good plot twists although the ending was a little bit too obvious for me.

Wow! I had heard of this book ages ago, and when I got it, I couldn’t wait to read it, yet it was on my shelf for two or more whole years - it did not disappoint! I loved the world building and the fantasy aspects of the book! The story was also very well written - from a lot of suspense about the secrets of this new world, to twists and turns and to the reveals near the end. I’m hoping to hear more about some of the things from future parts, as I felt there are a few things we don’t know yet!

This is a truly fantastic fantasy novel, that builds slowly with fantastic world-building. While the initial set-up may seem slow for some, the payoff is absolutely worth it. I think people have the wrong idea that this is just a smut book, and they expect a vapid book with a lot of “action.” But this is incredible storytelling and a fantastic read. The last 150 pages or so are absolutely thrilling. Highly recommend!!!

I loved how the characters made sense. Feyre’s decisions and view of the world was consistent with her upbringing and all the characters just made sense which isn’t always the case in every book. I loved how the book has shifted half way and took a dark turn. I felt like I was reading two different books but it was connected in a wholesome way. I loved Tamlin as he gave me green flags. He wasn’t ordering Feyre or making her do anything. He was respectful of her space and decisions. I don’t know why none of the fan art is about Tamlin and Feyre and focuses more on Ryhs, but can’t wait to find out more!

I liked the book's ending, but I found the start a bit boring.

Shauni Wuyts

HOLY SHIT. i haven’t been this impressed with a book in a long time. I’M HOOKED. i’m actively running to the store to get the second book because i can’t imagine going to sleep without starting the next book 😭

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

Not my thing and thought it would be sexier.

This Series has been on my Shelf and TBR Pile for a couple of years and I have been daunted to pick this one up as I know so many friends that have loved and enjoyed this one and I didn’t want to be the odd one out in a group of people so have just left it on the shelf until now when I decided that I finally felt ready to dive in and pick this up for the first time. I know that I’m 10 years late but here I am, and I can tell that if book 1 is anything to go by that I think I’m going to enjoy this series! 

This is Beauty and the Beast retelling. Feyre struggled to provide for her family who didn't seem to appreciate her efforts, until she killed a wolf who turned out not be a wolf but a fae and this kill cascaded a series of events. She was forced to live in the Spring Court under the protection of Tamlin, whose handsome face was half-covered by a mask, the result of a curse cast by a ruthless enemy. While a spreading blight threatens the Fairie Realms and the Mortal Lands and nightmarish creatures lurk in the darkness, Feyre must find out her place in an ancient power puzzle without damning her soul in the process.

Feyre, the ultimate heroine, a courageous, strong, and self-sufficient girl who is independent and clever beyond her years. Then we have Tamlin, part beast but looks like a man from the outside until riled and then the hands transform to claws and his ruthless side is exposed. I loved that Sarah Maas did not sacrifice a strong male character by creating a brilliant female one, because both characters are multi layered, complex and fascinating and they both draw you into the story! 

Sarah knew how to keep you on the edge until all you could do was gasp for breath and pray the Lord she would be merciful!

reading this felt low vibrational asf I was so pissed off for the first 75% but the end was lit 😔✌️

Annie Millman

some parts were super slow and boring, but this is a great introduction into the fae world and its magic system. i can't say i didn't enjoy it :)

kaii

Acotar is such a fun time. I’m not alone when it comes say this book resparked a love for reading id lost for a few years. 

Kalista Dickson

Very good book. Mostly build up and world design, with the ending being the best part for sure. Don’t get caught up in the slow start, push through and enjoy the ending and the beginning to a fun series!

Kyle James

The majority of the action happens towards the end of the book. I found myself pushing through because I heard that the first book can be a bit boring in the beginning. But I am glad I finished it because I am overall excited to learn more about this universe. Seems to be a very complex universe and I look forward to learning more about the other courts. I hope it is as good as everyone claims!

The girls at work made me read it & it's just not for me. I skimmed the last 200 or so pages, I just could not get into it at all.

I enjoyed it but did not like how Fayre was treated after the mountain by Tamlin

Marie

Very late to the party but couldnt not read it... Was spoilered for what happens in the 2nd book big time so had my suspicions while reading. Was very annoyed about the riddle, like it was so obvious? Spice was okay, expected more tbh. I have my suspicions about what will happen next especially with rhysand.
