THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERPerfect for fans of Kristin Cashore and George R.R. Martin, this first book in a sexy and action-packed new series is impossible to put down!When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution for it.

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 over the faerie lands is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it . . . or doom Tamlin–and his world–forever.

One of the best series I’ve read in years.
I fell in love with this book right from the onset. I love the twist on Beauty and the Beast. Not so much that it is a copy but i can see where she started using that as a base and then completely made it her own. Fantastic read.
A Court of Thorns and Roses
@Susan lent me this book! I missed it when we ran it as a BB deal, and I could kick myself now. I haven’t finished it yet, but it’s really wonderfully paced, the worldbuilding is superb, and I never got over my high school obsession with faeries. Oh, and the heroine is pretty kickass (a la Katniss). My only qualm so …
After Throne of Glass, I was prepared to be let down by A Court of Thorns and Roses, but was pleasantly surprised. Maas really upped her characterization and world-building stats between the two books. I knew a pretty big spoiler for the next book in the series going into this one, but still very much enjoyed myself. There were some really great …
A great read! Using a “beauty and the beast” type story, Sarah Maas creates a vivid new world with highly entertaining characters. A must read – 5 stars!
Beware Of Spoilers!!!
My Thoughts:
Originally, I never planned on picking up any book by Sarah J. Maas. I thought she was overhyped by everyone in the book community and I just didn’t trust what the thousands of people have said about her books. I picked up this book on a whim at Target when they didn’t have any other books that I wanted to buy. I …
Bought this when we ran it on BB for $1.99. There is shapeshifting, glamouring, fae, sex, and of course a protagonist who hunts (ha! @hannah). All the good stuff, nicely wrapped up in this NYT bestseller. Can’t wait for book #2 which comes out in May!
I devoured this trilogy, which is full of hot, arrogant fae and a page-turning plot. I can’t recommend it highly enough!
This is my first read in this sub-genre of romance, and WOW. I am kicking myself for not branching out sooner! Maas is an incredibly brilliant writer who appeals to all audiences! The world she creates – the characters, the picture she paints, the angst, the plot – it is all amazing! Diving into the next book in this series IMMEDIATELY! Sarah J. …
I rented this from my library a while ago, and since I’m going to read the second book, I felt like talking about the first.
As other recommendations have noted, it takes a Beauty and the Beast plot, except I’m pretty sure Belle didn’t have to go through any of the horrors the main character in this novel had to go through.
To be honest, I …
Boy, was this right up my alley! Fairies, strong heroines, evil queens, general oppression and fights to survive. You know, your average day. Seriously, I loved this book, right from hot shape shifting faery lord hero Tamlin to human heroine Feyre. Heck, I even loved Rhys, who appears to be very bad for most of the novel. This book felt very …
Absolutely in love with Maas’ world. Just when I think the twists she makes will change my mind about the direction of the series, she makes me fall in love with it even more. Her world building is brilliant and her characters are enchanting. This is one of those series I re-read whenever I have the chance and need to truly escape.
I bow to Queen Sarah J. Maas who is a writing rockstar. I wanna be like her when I grow up! Hot dudes with wings and mind melting powers, kick ass chicks in a world that makes me forget my own… loved it.
I read this for a book club and honestly I was shocked how much I liked it.
MOST AMAZING BOOK EVER!!! my favorite series by far! MY fav book to!!!!
MUST READ!
I could not put these books down. I read non-stop for days to get through the series. If you like long, epic journeys with characters you can’t stop thinking about, grab these books. You won’t be sorry you did.
I read this entire book in a day. I had never been interested in Fae or Fantasy, but I was recommended this book numerous times and decided to give it a try. Sarah J Maas has created the PERFECT world and characters that will easily have you falling in love with every page. As an avid reader and bibliophile, Sarah has become my favorite author and …
If you want to read a great fantasy, I can’t recommend this highly enough. Trust me, you’ll lose sleep reading it, and then you’ll want to read the rest of the series.
You can’t go wrong with Sarah Maas! Seriously good writing here! Entertaining to the last page, leaving you wanting more.
This was fantastic and so was the 2nd book. Book 3 just came out. Yea!
