I have a new favorite series. Let's be clear. I was pretty sure from the first time I heard about this that I would love it. I adore fairy tale retellings, especially when they are beauty and the beast retellings. I also love romance, and fae folk, so I knew this would be right up my alley, but what a ride! I love Feyre, but even more I love Rhysand, and can't wait to listen to more about all of the characters in this series. This story hits so many tropes I adore, including slow burn, and bonding, and jerks who save the day by helping you figure it out yourself. Did I say I loved Rhysand? Because I do. I also adore his cousin Morrigan, even if for no other reason than her name, though she's so very much more than it.
I literally couldn't stop listening yesterday, even though I had two more hours to listen to, and I almost never listen at home. The twists and turns in the second book will give you whiplash. But they are so worth it. Just hang in there, because it's just wonderful. If you enjoy the Black Jewels trilogy, I definitely think you will enjoy this series. If you like strong-woman fairy tale retellings, this one is for you.
