Yet, Maas’s skillful, fast-paced storytelling quickly reveals that all is not as it seems as layer upon layer of untruth or partial truth reveal themselves and Feyre comes of age as a liminal character she is a mortal who finds herself at the center of conflict in the faerie world. I recognized tropes from The Hunger Games with world-building elements of Game of Thrones as readers meet teen Feyre out hunting with a bow-her family reliant upon her wit and skill for their collective survival-in the shadow of a wall that keeps the mortal realm safe from the faeries who dwell on its northern side. She is young and headstrong, but she is also starving and terrified that if she fails to bring home food from her hunt, her family will all die. The first in this series, A Court of Thorns and Roses (2015) establishes the divided world in which we find our heroine, Feyre Archeron.
Maas’s A Court of Thorns and Roses (2015) and the four books that come after it will delight. For readers who appreciate a suspenseful fantasy interwoven with a good dose of romance, Sarah J. As the days grow darker (for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere), many of us search about for a good book series as we relax during the holiday season.
