Review by Amy Martin, Fremont Area District Library Circulation Supervisor I waited to read this adult series about the Fae until it wasn't quite so popular and I had a lot of time I could devote to reading it. This is the story of Feyre, a human huntress from a poor family who kills a wolf that is actually a fae, and is brought into the fae world of Prythian as a consequence. She is brought there by Tamlin, High Lord of the Spring Court, and is thrown into a huge fight for all of the fae lands and then skirmishes with human queens when the wall between the fae and humans is brought down. Feyre, along with her sisters, Nesta and Elain, end up losing their humanity and being transformed into fae. Along the way, Feyre meets Rhysand, High Lord of the Night Court and they find that they are fated mates. Along with Rhysand, comes a great group of characters, his long-time friends Cassian, Azriel, Mor, and Amren. I found that the friendship between all these characters made for a very rewarding reading experience. The villains in this series were awful to their foes, as villains should be. Feyre and her sisters also have many spats and learning experiences along the way. Nesta in particular is a fierce character, and in the final book so far, A Court of Silver Flames, has an awesome transformation to a better, more complex character. I notice that Sarah J. Maas left an opening for Elain's story to be told, so hopefully sometime soon she will write and publish that. I think that is the only thing I really was missing from this series--the feeling that it's not at an end. Put the books in this series on hold: 1. A Court of Thorns and Roses https://bit.ly/3BXaQAk 2. A Court of Mist and Fury https://bit.ly/3dlQ2IJ 3. A Court of Wings and Ruin https://bit.ly/3dmyUCp 3.1 A Court of Frost and Starlight https://bit.ly/3SAqUOB 4. A Court of Silver Flames https://bit.ly/3JO92Mg
