As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow grows over the faerie lands, and Feyre must find a way to stop it . . . or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.
5 Stars.
You can't not love this book. It's an amalgamation of the perfect parts of Game Of Thrones, classic old Sarah J. Mass and Brandon Sanderson.
I did my waiting for this book. About 2 months after this book originally launched was it delivered on my doorstep. Amazon kept pushing the release date-but I couldn't blame them. I more or less got it for free.
Now many of you might make up your mind too quick about how this book caters to the Stockholm Syndrome. That's what I thought. But think again. This book has some obvious bad assery promised with every SJ. Maas title.
You get a world packed with Fae *sighs*, A MAP and a bad ass huntress. WHAT DO YOU NEED MORE?!
The best part about this book is that it leaves a trail of that familiarity associated to her books. I could almost feel Calaena and her world creeping in through the shadows, just waving us hi. It was amazing to be back in the world from the mind of SJ. Maas.
It is a Beauty and the Beast retelling, and OH MY GOD, is our beast handsome?!
Tamlin is quintessential HOT FAE. But then there's a catch. He's always hidden behind a mask. All she knows about him is the color of his eyes, and that he is High Fae, a caste she had been taught to hate--and fear.
He holds her captive or killing one of his soldiers, but allows her to do whatever she wants. Not comprehending his mercy, she is drawn to him, willing to fid out all his secrets.
The book is slow somewhere in the middle, but other than that, AMAZING.
GOD, THE FEELS!
I'm super excited for the next books in the series. Hope this turns out to be another Throne of Glass!
