I hope this is the start of a new series for this author. I absolutely love her “Throne of Glass”
series. This series has a lot of history
packed into it. The humans live in only
certain areas of the world after a treaty was signed to end a very bloody and
deadly war between the humans and the fae.
The treaty is the only thing that is keeping the humans safe at this
point, but word is getting out that things are changing.
This series follows a nineteen year old girl, Feyre, as she
struggles to care for her family. She
has two sisters who are almost helpless and a family who was disabled by
creditors after they lost their fortune.
She alone is able to provide food and other necessities for her family. She is out hunting one evening when she ends
up killing a wolf. A beast, who is
obviously fae, comes to her door seeking retribution. The treaty demands that Feyre go with the
beast to live out the rest of her life in faerie.
The beast’s name is Tamlin and he is even more deadly than
she imagined. Yet, the more Feyre learns
of both Tamlin and the blight upon his lands the less she hates him. Eventually she comes to care for Tamlin but
it might be too late for it to make a difference.
There are some aspects of the story that are still a little
fuzzy so I hope that the next book clears this up. Some of the characters motives and
personalities need a little more fleshing out and I would actually like to
understand the relationship between Tamlin and Feyre better to understand the depth
that each went through to protect the other.
I look forward to more!
