⚠️<b>ESTA RESEÑA CONTIENE SPOILERS</b>⚠️
Wow, qué libro. Me ha sorprendido muchísimo, no esperaba para nada que fuera a gustarme tanto.
Llevo viendo esta saga por todas partes (tiktok, tiendas de libros, aquí en goodreads, etc.), y en principio no tenía pensado leerlo, pero al final una persona a la que quiero mucho (Helen ily) me convenció de leerlo y aquí estoy.
Este retelling de <i>La Bella y La Bestia</i> nos cuenta la historia de Feyre (la protagonista), que, intentando cazar para alimentar a su familia, acaba matando a Andras (un inmortal) y como castigo, Tamlin la lleva a Prythian, concretamente a la Corte Primavera (donde él es el alto lord) para que esta pueda pagar por su delito. A medida que va pasando la historia, vamos conociendo más acerca del mundo donde estos inmortales habitan, así como siete Cortes diferentes (Corte Otoño, Corte Invierno, Corte Verano, Corte Primavera, Corte Día, Corte Noche y Corte Amanecer) en las que su tierra está dividida. Aunque este libro está más centrado en la Corte Primavera, la autora explica de una manera preciosa cómo esta Corte es, como por ejemplo los jardines, la mansión donde viven, las plantas, las lagunas, etc. y me ha encantado. A medida que el tiempo pasa, Feyre disfruta más y más de estar ahí, rodeada de magia, bailes y nuevos sabores, y poco a poco se va enamorando de Tamlin, quien es víctima de una maldición. La protagonista, para salvar su nuevo hogar y los de más allá del muro donde residen los inmortales, se expone a la oscuridad para salvar a todos los habitantes de Prythian de la maldad que lleva décadas amenazándolos, a la vez que rescata al amor de su vida.
<i>Te amo. Con espinas y todo</i>.
<u>Feyre</u> es increíble, me ha encantado. Al principio se notaba que su pesimismo era lo único en lo que se basaba, pero, cuanto más cosas le pasaban, mejor actuaba. Es un personaje fuerte, totalmente decidida y que no se rinde jamás, dispuesta a luchar por lo que quiere hasta conseguirlo. Además, después de los mil fanarts que me ha pasado mi amiga, puedo decir con certeza que es PRECIOSA, tanto por fuera como por dentro.
<u>Tamlin</u>… ay, Tamlin, te tengo un amor y un odio increíble. No es un mal personaje pero tampoco me ha gustado mucho su manera de actuar en muchas ocasiones (aka morderle el cuello a Feyre sin su consentimiento).
<u>Lucien</u> me ha sorprendido también, no sabía que me iba a caer tan bien. Su amistad extraña con Feyre me ha parecido muy buena y es un buen personaje.
<u>Rhysand</u> dos palabras: cásate conmigo.
<u>Amarantha</u> eres una puta loca, me encanta.
La verdad es que me ha encantado. Me ha tenido enganchada desde el primer capítulo y no hacía más que mejorar. Me ha gustado la manera en cómo Sarah J. Maas describe Prythian (como si ella misma estuviera viviendo allí) su pluma me ha parecido muy buena, porque me ha transmitido unas emociones/sensaciones indescriptibles. Como he dicho antes, me ha sorprendido muchísimo y no me lo esperaba para nada. Después de haber leído unas cuantas malas reseñas sobre el libro, la verdad es que le tenía miedo, así que cuando lo empecé mis expectativas eran totalmente neutras. Y eso ha sido mejor, ya que me ha encantado y sigo flipando de lo mucho que lo ha hecho.
Como siempre, el punto negativo en este caso, a mi parecer, sería:
1. El síndrome de Estocolmo que tiene Feyre no es ni medio normal (Tamlin NO te merece).
2. No me ha gustado para nada como, en ocasiones, trataban a Feyre como si fuera un juguete.
Poco más que añadir, salvo que no puedo esperar más a seguir leyendo la saga ACOTAR y seguir fangirleando muchísimo (sí Helen, contigo), y no puedo esperar a leer más sobre Rhysand, que se ha convertido en mi crush definitivo desde el momento en que aparece.
Si te gusta la fantasía con romance este es tu libro, engancha muchísimo y los plot twists son muy buenos. Aún así, siempre aconsejo buscar información sobre los <b><i>trigger warnings</i></b>, ya que pueden haber cosas que para algunas personas puedan ser fuertes (rapto, muerte, gore, alcohol, no hay mucho <i>smut</i> pero sí un poco, violencia, tortura, agresión sexual, etc.).

⚠️<b>THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS</b>⚠️
Wow, what a book. It surprised me a lot, I didn’t expect at all that I would like it so much.
I've been seeing this series everywhere (tiktok, book stores, here on goodreads, etc.), and at first I wasn’t planning on reading it, but a person who I love very much (<b>Helen ily</b>) convinced me to read it and here I am.
This retelling of The Beauty and the Beast tells us the story of Feyre (the main character) that, trying to hunt to feed her family, ends up killing Andras (an immortal) and as punishment, Tamlin takes her to Prythian specifically to the Spring Court (where he is the high lord) so that she can pay for her crime. As the story progresses, we learn more about the world where these immortals live, as well as six other different Courts (Autumn Court, Winter Court, Summer Court, Day Court, Night Court and Dawn Court) in which their land is divided. Although this book is more focused in the Spring Court, the author beautifully explains how this Court is, such as the gardens, the mansion where they live, the plants, the lagoons, etc. and I loved it. As time passes, Feyre enjoys being there more and more, surrounded by magic, dances and new flavors, and bit by bit she falls in love with Tamlin, who is the victim of a curse. The main character, in order to save her new home and those beyond the wall where the immortals reside, exposes herself to the darkness to save all the people of Prythian from the evil that has been threatening them for decades, while rescuing the love of her life.
<i>I love you. Thorns and all</i>.
<u>Feyre </u> is amazing, I love her. At first you could tell that her pessimism was the only thing she relied on, but the more things happened to her, the better she acted. She is a strong character, totally determined and never gives up, willing to fight for what she wants until she gets it. Also, after the thousand fanarts that my friend sent me, I can say with certainty that she is BEAUTIFUL, both on the outside and the inside.
<u>Tamlin</u>… oh Tamlin, I noth love and hate you. He's not a bad character but I didn't really like the way he acted on many occasions (aka biting Feyre's neck without her consent).
<u>Lucien </u> surprised me too, I didn't know I was going to like him so much. His weird friendship with Feyre seemed was really good and he is a good character.
<u>Rhysand</u> two words: marry me.
<u>Amarantha</u> you are a crazy bitch, I love it.
The truth is that this book is incredible. I was hooked since the first chapter and it just kept getting better. I like the way Sarah J. Maas describes Prythian (as if she herself were living there). The way she writes is so good, she made me feel indescribable emotions/sensations. As I said before, I’m totally surprised and I didn’t expect that at all. After reading a few bad reviews about the book, the truth is that I was afraid of reading it, so when I started it my expectations were totally neutral. And that was good because I am still freaking out at how much I’ve loved it.
As always, the negative point in this case, in my opinion, would be:
1. Feyre’s Stockholm syndrome is not even normal (Tamlin does NOT deserve her).
2. I didn’t like at all how sometimes Feyre was treated by everyone as if she were a toy.
Little more to add, except that I can't wait to continue reading the ACOTAR series and keep fangirling a lot (<b>yes Helen, with you</b>), and I can't wait to read more about Rhysand, who has become my ultimate crush from the very moment he appears.
If you like fantasy with romance this is your book, it is very engaging and the plot twists are very good.
I always recommend looking for information about the <b>trigger warnings</b> before reading <u>(tw such as: kidnapping, death, gore, alcohol, there is not much smut but a little, violence, torture, sexual assault, etc.)</u>.
(English is not my first language, if you find any mistakes please let me know).
