This book is written by Sarah J. Maas and it is a wonderful start to a series. It has a 4/5 star rating and I agree with this rating as it's only really the beginning of the story. The story is based off Beauty and the Beast, and just like the story we meet Gaston before the Beast. I enjoyed how showed Feyre's developments from being the sole provider of her family, to being able to have fun and smile. In the beginning Feyre held back many emotions and her own pleasures to take care of her family to get them through winter; to relaxing and teaching herself to paint. Tamlin's character is intriguing, as he wants to get to know Feyre, he doesn't really know how to. The first compliment he gave her was evidence of this "You look.... better than before. / And your hair is... clean." Sarah J. Maas writes their relationship realistically, Tamlin took in Feyre to break the curse, Feyre does not want to be with Tamlin (at first), as time goes on they begin to like each other. The amount of detail in this story is enough to help the reader envision the scene without it being overbearing. In the one scene where the faerie is hurt, the author describes how its skin felt in Feyre's hand and how its hair was silky black. My favorite part of the book was when Feyre was completing the tests under the Mountain to free Tamlin. Each test was well written and used Feyre's hunting skills to defeat the worm. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in fantasy/adventure books.
