This was my first ever Fantasy romance book & now I'm obsessed with it. The plot is set in a world where humans & the faeries, who once enslaved them live separated by a wall built under a Treaty. One day when Feyre, a 19 y/o huntress, kills a faerie wolf, she is brought to the faerie lands and taken captor by a High Fae. Basically this book is a retelling of “Beauty and the beast”. Now, you might think that it would continue with a Disney tale, but no becomes so much more packed with adventure & life.

The first 4 chapters are slow paced just to set up the story but after that it gradually increases & after those first few chapters, I was fully enthralled. It piqued my curiosity & kept me wanting to know what happens next. The action- it's so stunning that I just couldn't get enough of the serotonin.🫠
Now the plot twists.. this book keeps you on your toes the entire time & then drops the bomb on you, in the BEST WAY POSSIBLE.

I'm in love with SJM's writing cuz the execution and imagery is just outstanding. She's truly an expert at creating such exceptional & contrasting characters & I love 'em. Speaking of love, I'd like to tell all my romance readers out there that: despite being a major fantasy series, it has the most beautiful romance, you'll ever read. MARK MY WORDS

<Spoilers>
<<<<<🔸I love Feyre. She's strong, loyal and also has her own personal issues mainly cuz of her typical fairytale family which is horrible. Her character development was really good.
🔸Tamlin's character is shy, sweet & strong. But compared to all the other characters in the book his felt a bit stiff.
🔸Rhysand- our anti-hero has played the bad-boy role so nicely. By the end of the book I knew that there's going to be a love triangle in the upcoming books.👀 >>>>>

I'm writing this review after reading half of the entire series & that's cuz the ending of this book left me so excited & adrenalized that I just couldn't wait to read other books in the series.
Definitely going to read other books by SJM.🫶🏼

It’s poorly written, and I honestly can’t stand myself for saying this, but I’m a SJ Maas stan. I ate that book up on a road trip until it was dark outside. It’s the ending that had me hooked.

Quick read! Enemies to lovers romance set in a fantasy world with fairies on one side of a boundary and humans on the other. I think this book does a really nice job of building an organic romance that’s actually fun to read. (Not so brooding and intense.) definitely some very dark violent parts though.

very cute! didn't expect the plot twists that occurred and i loved the build up to the ending. i hated that it was slow to start but i also appreciated that they gave us time to get to know each character
