Book Summary: Feyre's survival rests upon her ability to hunt and kill – the forest where she lives is a cold, bleak place in the long winter months. So when she spots a deer in the forest being pursued by a wolf, she cannot resist fighting it for the flesh. But to do so, she must kill the predator and killing something so precious comes at a price ...
Dragged to a magical kingdom for the murder of a faerie, Feyre discovers that her captor, his face obscured by a jewelled mask, is hiding far more than his piercing green eyes would suggest. Feyre's presence at the court is closely guarded, and as she begins to learn why, her feelings for him turn from hostility to passion and the faerie lands become an even more dangerous place. Feyre must fight to break an ancient curse, or she will lose him forever.
My Rating/Review: 4 1/2 stars. I really enjoyed this book - I think would have enjoyed it even more if I hadn't read An Enchantment of Ravens more. They are similar in many ways - human female, Fairie courts who are brutal, and a bit of romance across the human/fairy boundaries. The main character in this is a great, strong female lead. There's a tiny bit of Katniss and The Hunger Games in there as well. I liked the plot twists - there's a lot going on and of course, quests of an epic nature. I think a very good read for the YA genre. I also liked the retelling/reshaping of the classic Beauty and the Beast concept. A few positive points taken off for my current pet peeve - a book within a series that leaves some unanswered questions, but overall, one I'd recommend if you like this sort of fantasy genre.
