When I saw a map at the beginning of ACOTAR, I got flashbacks of staying up all night reading the Eragon series when I was younger (which I loved btw).
Feyre is starving and cold when she arrows down a wolf deep in the forest to feed her family. That was a dangerous move, not only because the wolf could have killed her, but because the wolf wasn’t really a wolf… it was a faerie. Feyre is soon taken to live out her life in the mystical Prythian to pay for killing a faerie, where she learns about a whole new world and the dangers that come with it. Fantasy meets romance as Feyre must help her new immortal keeper stop his world from imminent doom.
Magic, faeries, a little bit of Stockholm syndrome, lust, war, and love are the ingredients of this one. Enjoyable read with a faint sprinkle of ✨spice.✨
Graphic: Death and Violence
Moderate: Sexual content and Torture
