A review by anubhaghoshal
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
5.0
I didn't go into the book knowing anything at all. The last book I read by the author was many many years ago, Throne of glass. Just one book, I loved it, I finished it in one sitting. I saw many people critise her books so I wondered whether I was too young or what. I hadn't picked her other books not because of the public opinion but simply because of lack of time.
When I picked this one up, I loved it as much as I loved throne of glass. I literally stayed up the whole night, went to sleep at 5 a.m. after finishing the book!
This story is based upon a land which is divided into human realm and fae realm. The fae realm is ruling, and is divided into courts, eg. Summer court, spring court, etc. So the main character is Feyre who is a human and earns livelihood for her family by hunting. The humans hate fae in this story and vice versa. There is a wall between them. One day while hunting a deer she spots a wolf who is fae in animal form and has trespassed the wall. Out of anger and hatred, she kills the wolf.
Now the wolf's friend, Tamlin comes to her house and demands life in exchange for life and gives Feyre two choices, death or spending forever in Fae realm. She chooses the latter and is introduced to a completely different realm from her own. Here she tries to escape but soon realises her captor is a High lord (ruling provincial king kinda) of the court. She is torn between escaping and surviving as she finds she is only safe with the high lord. (Major beauty and the beast vibes but obviously with lots of difference)
For me, I was satisfied with the ending and a sequel might not help the plot so am not picking the next book but maybe in future.
Okay so thanks to netgalley for the ebook in exchange for honest review.
