A Court of Thorns and Roses
Sarah J. Maas

The best romantic fantasy series aren’t just about heroes and villains—they’re about actions and consequences. The first story in Sarah J. Maas’ sexy Court of Thorns and Roses series begins with 19-year-old Feyre Archeron hunting in the woods one frigid winter day when she kills what she thinks is a wolf, but turns out to be a faerie. Exiled to the faerie world as punishment, Feyre is surprised to discover that her new home is full of dark beauty—especially if you count Tamlin, the High Lord. Maas blends themes from classic tales like “Beauty and the Beast” into a story of steamy romance and high-stakes drama. Guided through the gorgeous, mysterious world by Jennifer Ikeda’s deeply smooth narration, we fell in love with the sensual heroine, and were enraptured by her adventures. As soon as we wolfed this fantastical adventure down, we were ready to hear the sequel.
