My book review this time is on a book that just came out- A Court of Thorns and Roses.
"A thrilling, seductive new series from New York Times bestselling author Sarah J. Maas, blending Beauty and the Beast with faerie lore.
When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution for it. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she only knows about from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal, but Tamlin—one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled their world.
As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow grows over the faerie lands, and Feyre must find a way to stop it . . . or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.
Perfect for fans of Kristin Cashore and George R. R. Martin, this first book in a sexy and action-packed new series is impossible to put down!"

What I thought:
Sarah J. Maas is one of my favorite authors. She weaves rich, delicate details that make you hunger for more. She takes an old fairy tale (this one was based off of Beauty and the Beast) and brings them to life! I was in a bit of a reading slump and her amazingly written stories helped me get out of it. Her main character, the huntress Feyre (Fay-re) is well written, jumping off the page! Feyre is finding herself in this story. She goes through some incredibly tough tests, and (SPOILER ALERT!) I'm pleased to say she survives to the end, being reunited with the mysterious and sexy High Fae Lord Tamlin. Lucien, a part of Tamlin's court, was hilarious at times and brooding at others. He had mood swings like a teenage girl (and boy does this teenage girl know mood swings). My favorite character had to be Rhysand (Reese-and). He was a sarcastic devil. He managed to persuade Feyre, and believe me when I say that's difficult. Overall, I would most definitely recommend this book to mature readers, because there is a little, ahem, mature theme running.
Thanks for reading!

Eve
