I will be the first to admit that I was skeptical when I heard that Maas was writing a retelling of The Beauty & The Beast, especially after I had fallen in love with her Throne of Glass series, however ACOTAR has proven that I will enjoy anything that she writes!

Feyre made a promise on her mothers dead bed that she would protect her family no matter what the cost. Poverty, filth and starvation are nothing new to Feyre and her family; she struggles to provide for them in the harsh winter, hunting what ever she can to put food on the table. Each night without a catch leads Feyre closer to the wall, where the Fae residents of Prythian reside. One night she sees a wolf about to poach the deer she’s been tracking, despite the intelligence and appearance of the wolf Feyre fires her arrow with hate in her heart.

Feyre’s life becomes penance for the life of the Fae wolf that she took and she is torn from her human existence to the world across the wall. It is as a prisoner in High Lord Tamlin’s Spring Court Feyre finds her freedom.

Falling for Tamlin defies everything she knows, but with a sickness setting over Prythian Feyre is sent away just as she has realised she wanted to stay. But once she finds out the cause of sickness Feyre will risk everything to free Tamlin and Prythain from an ancient curse.

After being such a fan of the "Throne of Glass" series, it was easy to feel a level of apprehension starting "A Court of Thorns and Roses". Thankfully, Sarah J. Maas has again delivered.
Filled with romance, magic and danger that will have you captivated from beginning to end with twist and turns this is a new series not to miss.
