What is This Book About? Feyre Archeron lives in the human realm and hunts game for her sister and disabled father. One day she kills a particular wolf which causes High Fey to interfere and take her to their realm for retribution. In the Spring Court, Feyre spends time with the high lord, Tamlin and his close friend, Lucien. After several strange encounters with monsters, Feyre learns that a terrible curse plagues the lands of Prythian.
My Review: Now on book four, A Court of Thorns and Roses series has been very popular since its debut in 2015. When A Court of Silver Flames came out last year, I decided that I needed to see what the hype was all about. I did like A Court of Thorns enough to continue on to book two. Even though there are some slower parts, the plot really picks up about three quarters of the way through. The chemistry between Feyre and Tamlin along with the greater mystery surrounding what was going on in the world around them was enough to keep me reading. It does have a very YA, yet adult feel and some aspects of the plot are a bit cliché. It definitely falls into the the realm of guilty pleasure for me and I’m going to keep reading to see what happens next.
