Publisher's summary

When 19-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 over the faerie lands is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it... or doom Tamlin - and his world - forever.

“I love you, thorns and all.”

Fun and easy listen. Perhaps too much hype? The second half is when it picked up for me. I enjoyed meeting Rhysand. I will be continuing the series, eventually.


🎙️ Jennifer Ikeda’s narration fit the story well.

Very sexual

So I’ve read Maas’ other series, Throne of Glass, and I LOVED it. So I thought I’d try this one. It’s a good story but I don’t like it as much as Throne of Glass. Character development is just as good but the plot sometimes seems a little empty. Like it could have more substance. It does wrap up nicely in the end though. However, my main contention as a bookstore employee is that this is VERY SEXUAL compared to her other series. We have a lot of people who come in and have elementary aged children reading well above their grade level. As always, it’s up to the parents in the end but I don’t think this is appropriate for anyone under 13.

Beautifully Surprised

I absolutely fell in love with this story. The author did such a good job of building up this magical world and making you care about the characters. I can't wait for the sequel!

Jennifer Ikeda is awesome.

Tale as old as time...

I nearly stopped listening about 40 percent of the way through. It was predictable and slow. I enjoyed the ending of the book though. The last 20 percent was really exciting. The narration is amazing. The story just okay. The average came out to four stars.
