When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a terrifying creature arrives to demand retribution. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she knows about only from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not truly a beast, but one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled her world.
At least, he's not a beast all the time.
As she adapts to her new home, her feelings for the faerie, Tamlin, transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But something is not right in the faerie lands. An ancient, wicked shadow is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it or doom Tamlin-and his world-forever.
No. This is not the first time that I read this series... It's the 3rd.
Can you blame me?
I know there is a whole controversy about this series hype. And well, it's valid. Not everyone can love the same things. I mean, there are people out there who love Haunting Adeline and Zade Meadows...
Anyway...
The difference here was, that I listened to it. FIRST AUDIOBOOK EVER!
I had a busy mind that loved to focus on responsibilities and worries, so when I tried audiobooks before I couldn't pay attention to it. Now that I have changed my Habits- you will know what I'm talking about if you read the last post - I was able to focus on the book and was amazing. Best feeling ever. This new adventure adds more possibilities for me to reach my 50 books goal of the year and maybe even pass that goal.
Ok. So in this fantasy/fairy series of Mrs. Maas, we have Feyre, who has to grow up fast and take care of her family after they lose all their fortune and then lose her mother. But this family of hers are pieces of shit.
We have the unnamed father, who didn't try to defend himself from debt collectors and they hit him and broke one of his legs. And after that, didn't put effort into getting better to try harder to provide for his family. Then we have NEsta, the OLD sister, who is a f-cking bitch with Feyre and never moves a f-cking finger to help in the excuse of a house they have now. So desperate to make her father try to do something for them instead of helping her YOUNGEST sister who is carrying all the family weight.... and then is Elain.
thats it.
Feyre had to teach herself to hunt, to swim, to everything she needed to not let her family starve. AND THEN THEY TREAT HER LIKE SHIT!!
sorry, all this makes me furious. My Feyre Girl didn't deserve all that.
One day she was in the woods, a little far from her usual place, and she spotted a wolf and kill it. She used his skin to get a few coins on the market, and everything changed after that.
A beast came to her house and asked for the person who killed his friend, cause that wolf wasn't a wolf... it was a fairy. This beast talks about a treated of humans and fairies and says Feyre has to go with him in exchange for the fairy she killed.
As is obvious, nobody do anything for her, so she has to go with this beast to make sure her family will be fine. She found herself in the spring court, where this beast transformed into a handsome fairy.
Here is what gets me, she passed from being bullied to going to a mansion, having tons of food on the table, having the opportunity to not hunt again, live the life she deserves, but this bitch is always just thinking in ways to escape to go back to her family.
I will not talk about all the thing I want to cause I dont want to make this post long 🤣 but I love this book. Not the best of the 5, but is a good start. I know all of us fall in love with Tamlin in this one. That all of us hate Rhysand in this one.
I enjoy every part of it, even the scenes where the only thing I want to do is hit someone in the face 😜
But lets talk about the riddle.
I know it was obviously "Love" but can we stop a second to analyze it? The words and phrases Mrs Maas applied to it got me so confused.
"There are those who seek me a lifetime but never we meet. And those I kiss but trample me under ungrateful feet. At times I seem to favor the clever and the fair, but I bless all those who are brave enough to dare. By large, my ministrations are soft-handed and sweet. But though each of my strikes lands a powerful blow, when I kill, I do it slow'
Maybe even when I know how to read and write 🤣 I have the same level of stupidity as Feyre cause I was so lost. I was like, yeah, this bitch will day in the challenges cause if I don't know what the answer is, she wouldn't know either.
Then when she answered it, I was like " of course. It has to be so cliche"
But more furiously of all?
I was in pain when I was listening to Tamlin not doing anything when Feyre arrived under the mountain. It was painful cause I couldn't hurt somebody for it. How Rhysand was the one who actually cared about what could happen to her.
