I am not a romantasy or fantasy reader but I have had FOMO over the ACOTAR series and despite owning the four of the books, I had never read them.

I am a convert. As soon as I saw the map at the beginning I thought, "I will not understand this" but I was instantly taken in by the writing.

Feyre is a nineteen-year-old human who lives with her father and sisters Elain and Nesta. Whilst out hunting in order to earn money for her family, kills a wolf and sells its hide at a market. 

Tamlin, High Lord of the Spring Court of Prythian demands to know who killed Andras, who was in his wolf form, and a High Fae of his court. After owning up to the killing, Tamlin gives Feyre two options; death or she live the remainder of her life in Prythian. As this is a very popular book, I won't go further with the plot but I am kicking myself for not reading it sooner.

This book is very heavy on world building at the beginning and for someone who thought they wouldn't enjoy that, I was hooked. I cannot wait to make my way through the rest of the series.
