A Court Of Thorns And Roses (2000) - Plot & Excerpts
Feyre has grown up with Faerie just beyond the woods. So she knows never to kill anything that might look even remotely like Faerie. Still when her family is starving and she sees a doe, she knows it will provide food for at least a week. The problem is a wolf, but he doesn’t look like Faerie so she kills him too. Now the Faerie have come calling and they want revenge. After she falls in love with her captor, Tamlin, he sends her home. But home is not where she wants to be. Feyre is determined to reunite with Tamlin and nothing is going to stop her. Not even an evil queen who is equally determined to have him.This is a dark retelling of Beauty and the Beast story. The twists and turns that always accompany Faerie tales add to the fun. If you’re a lover of fairytales like me, you’re sure to love this new version of an old favorite. Think Beauty and the Beast, only Beauty is a semi-literate daughter of a fallen merchant who knows more about a bow and arrow than society and manners and the Beast is a high fae.But this start of a new series by Maas is more than just another fractured fairy tale.Soon after Feyre kills a wolf and sells its hide, a beast knocks down the door to her family's cabin, demanding justice and the life of the person who killed his friend. When she steps forward, she is given the choice between immediate death or living her days out in Pyrthian, the homeland of the faeries who once were the humans' masters.She chooses to go with him, and soon finds out that things aren't as bright in the faerie lands as she expected.
