A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
Review by Sofia C-E., Youth Reviewer
Feyre was a normal teen girl besides the fact that she lives in a world where there are faeries on the other side of the border. Ferye’s mother died when she was very young so she was left to live with her father, older sister Nesta, and younger sister Elain. She took care of them after her father's knee was injured badly, which means she had to learn how to hunt to feed her family because her sisters wouldn't do it and she had made a promise to her mother to care for them before her mother had passed away. Feyre is a skilled hunter, which led her one day into the deep woods during winter in search of animals. She had spotted a wolf which was oddly massive in size. She thought nothing of it after she had killed it and skinned its fur. That was until a wild creature barged in on her family's house and took her away to live away in Prythian for the rest of her mortal life. Since the wolf turned out to be a faerie she now has to live with its master. The storytelling in “A Court of Thorns and Roses” is to die for, I had no idea what I was getting into when I first picked up book one of the series. It's one of those books where you cannot put it down without finishing it. In my opinion, there isn't anything that could've been written better in this book. My favourite part of this book was when Feyre moves across the border and finds herself at peace there. If you love romance, fantasy, and adventure books this book is certainly for you.
