Fickle and lovely

Feyre never set out to kill the wolf. She never would have touched it had she known it was something more, something ancient and powerful from beyond the wall. But she hadn’t really had a choice, had she? The wolf had been hunting her prey and she needed that deer to feed her family.

So, she’d killed it.

Now, a creature has come to claim revenge for the life Feyre took. The only way she can atone is death – or she must consent to live out her life in the magical fairy kingdom across the wall.

Feyre makes the only choice she can and heads off to the lands of the fairies, where fearful, dangerous and beautiful creatures live. She soon discovers that her handsome and frightening captor is more than he seems and that a dangerous sickness threatening the land of fairies could spill over into the human world, obliterating everything. Can the fairy-Lord crack Feyre’s, hardened heart? Will Feyre be the one to break the curse and free the fairies from the blight?

I’m an ardent Sarah J Maas fan. Throne of Glass is one of my favorite series, and yet this book exceeds my expectations. There is something so poignant, raw and beautifully descriptive about her writing. She brings to life a world where beauty and horror live side-by-side, survival is king and the strong toy with the lives of the weak. There is nothing frilly about this magical world beyond the wall, it is cruel and lovely, with characters who are both fickle and deep.

I’m enchanted by this world beyond the wall and I can’t wait to find out what lies in store for Feyre!
