******
Feyre is a huntress. And when she sees a deer in the forest being pursued by a wolf, she kills the predator and takes its prey to feed herself and her family.
But the wolf was not what it seemed, and Feyre cannot predict the high price she will have to pay for its death...
Dragged away from her family for the murder of a faerie, Feyre discovers that her captor, his face obscured by a jewelled mask, is hiding even more than his piercing green eyes suggest.
As Feyre's feelings for Tamlin turn from hostility to passion, she learns that the faerie lands are a far more dangerous place than she realized. And Feyre must fight to break an ancient curse, or she will lose him forever.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Bestselling author Sarah J. Maas’ compelling fantasy A Court of Thorns and Roses may be a reworking of Beauty and the Beast—one of the most famous fairytales of all time—but, somehow, this enthralling novel feels utterly original. In it, we meet Feyre, a courageous female hunter living in a dark forest. When she accidentally kills an enchanted beast while out hunting for food to feed her family, she is forced to pay off her debt by becoming a prisoner—or else risk losing her life. As this enchanting tale unfolds, Feyre begins to fall in love with her captor—just as his own secret starts to emerge. Gorgeously detailed with just the right helping of action and adventure, A Court of Thorns and Roses is a captivating romance you can’t help but get swept up in.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
When 19-year-old Feyre kills a wolf in the borderland forest between the human world and the faerie kingdom of Prythian, she unknowingly breaks a wary truce and must repay the murder with her life. Tamlin, the shapeshifting Fae who comes to collect, offers Feyre a way out: spend the rest of her days on his lands in Prythian. She reluctantly agrees, leaving her starving family behind for the deceptive luxury of the faerie world. As Feyre begins to accept and even enjoy her new surroundings, not to mention the attentions of her host, she learns that the faerie world is crumbling under a blight that robs people like Tamlin of their magic and lets monsters roam free. Maas (the Throne of Glass series) draws themes and plot points from several fairy tales, fueling a well-developed world and complex relationships. The gruesome politics and magical might of the Fae may seem to leave Feyre hopelessly outmatched, but her grit and boundless loyalty demand that her foes and readers sit up and pay attention. Ages 14 up.
Customer Reviews
It was good, however…
I really enjoyed the world building in this book. I enjoyed reading from Feyre’s point of view, however I felt the ending to be a bit of a cop out.
I will read the other books, as I did enjoy the story.
Could not put this down …
Hooked from the start and can’t wait to read the second book
Captivating
Fabulous writing….. perfect description of the fairie world. I just kept wanting to read more and can’t wait to read the next book
