A Court of Mist and Fury
by Sarah J. Maas
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.

Feyre survived Amarantha's clutches to return to the Spring Court—but at a steep cost. Though she now has the powers of the High Fae, her heart remains human, and it can't forget the terrible deeds she performed to save Tamlin's people.
Nor has Feyre forgotten her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court. As Feyre navigates its dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a greater evil looms—and she might be key to stopping it. But only if she can harness her harrowing gifts, heal her fractured soul, and decide how she wishes to shape her future—and the future of a world cleaved in two.
With more than a million copies sold of her beloved Throne of Glass series, Sarah J. Maas's masterful storytelling brings this second book in her seductive and action-packed series to new heights.

Ok. Deep breaths, deep breaths. I'm debating whether to giggle girlishly or faint dramatically. Hmmm, maybe both. These books have gotten me reeling.
Confession: I have not dared pick up any of Sarah J. Mass' books because I have had some unsatisfactory experience with books about Fae involving falling asleep because of boredom. I got curious because of all the hype for the 3rd book in Instagram and I asked my friends in our book group if it was well worth reading. They convinced me it is so I dared myself to get through another Fae book.
**Warning: Spoilers ahead**
Book 1 -- I know the first book was loosely based on the Beauty and the Beast plot, and I had my reservations. I've read a lot of retellings and re-imaginings of Beauty and the Beast so I wanted to see if the first book lived up to the expectation.
We meet Feyre hunting in the forest on the border of Fae land an there she kills a huge whole she thinks may or ay not be a Fae. Humasn in her world have a deep seated anger and disgust towards the Fae and one less would be all the better. Feyre is the youngest of 3 sisters and does all the hunting for their food and coin. Surprisingly, she can't read, this Beauty paints instead. We also meet Tamlin, High Fae and High Lord of the Spring Court who takes Feyre from her Home in the human world supposedly as punishment for killing Fae.
The home of Tamlin is an extravagance to someone like Feyre who knows hunger, but she is treated as a guest instead. Everyone in Tamlins court wear masks they can't remove and it's eventually revealed that the reason is because of the curse put upon them by a Fea Queen. Tamlin and Feyre fall in love and Tamlin decides that he couldn't risk Feyre human life so he sends her back to the her home. But Feyre comes back to save Tamlin from the Fae Queen and break the curse.
The read was riveting, or maybe that's just me since I do get lost in the books I read. But I was a little confused about Ferye's character. One minute she's this huntress who takes down Fae then the next she's like breakable china. Come to think of it, the author probably did it that as a slow character development building up to what will happen in the subsequent books.
So of course, Feyre saves the day but dies in the process. In gratitude for not just saving Tamlin but for the rest of the other Fae courts as well, Feyre is remade into Fae by the 7 High Lords. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
Book 2 -- Now this, I think, is where the story really begins. Since Feyre is now Fae and pretty much in love with Tamlin, next course of action is of course they get married. But there is a change in Tamlin - instead of seeing Feyre as a stronger version of the human girl he fell in love with he is seeing her as a fragile treasure to be kept under lock and key. Who wouldn't go crazy? And because of bargains Feyre made, she is whisked away by the High Lord of the Night Court - Rhysand. That name just rolls off the tongue doesn't it?
We first meet the High Lord of the Night Court in book one as an Antagonist and lackey of the Fea Queen Amarantha who cursed Tamlin and his Court. He is described as dark and menacing, and becasue of a bargain he made with Feyre, he gets to take her to the Night Court for a week every month. This book seriously set up the mood from liking Tamlin to absolutely adoring Rhysand. He's the complete opposite of the beast that is Tamlin even if he is described as scarier. By the end of the book I was wishing I was Feyre and part of The Court of Dreams in Velaris too. Lucky Feyre. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Book 3 -- I was deliberately prolonging reading book 2 while I was waiting for the 3rd book to come out, but I finished and still haven't gotten y hands on the 3rd book. Talk about torture.I have to leave out major spoilers for this since the book just came out. I was well worth the wait to be able to read what happened next to Feyre and the other Fae as they Battle for their people and humans. I wish there was more to the story, like maybe a spin off with one of the other characters. Sarah J. Mass is a genius and it shows in this series. Now I'm thinking maybe I can read her other books. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
As a whole, the series was a great read. I didn't know I'd be caught - hook, line, and sinker in this world the author created. I feel empty now that I've read all three. I want to stay in Prythian with Feyre and Rhysand and their family. I want to see how powerful Feyre can get with her gifts from the other High Lords. I want to read the other characters love stories. Thank you SJM for the wonderful adventure.
