I only have one question... why did I wait so long to read this book!? This interpretation of Belle & her Beast was intriguing and captivating.

Sarah J. Maas has created a world in which Fae and Humans exist together but separate. The tales that have been passed down generations in the human world have begun to become a distant memory to some, having been forgotten with the Fae safely hidden behind the wall. Feyre is simply a young human girl trying to keep a promise she made to her mother. She’s taking care of her family, hunting and selling at the market to earn the money needed to keep them fed (although not particularly well) and clothed (at least in the case of her sisters). However, even her seemingly giving heart holds hatred... for both her family AND the fae. While hunting one winter day, Feyre makes a decision that will change her life, and her family, forever.

I enjoyed watching the characters transform, hearts softening and expectations altered. What was once something to hate has become what is loved most. By the end, you realize that the story has morphed into something unique that leaves you wanting more. I can’t wait to read the rest of the ACOTAR series and more of SJM’s books!
