A Court of Thorns and Roses: A Court of Thorns and Roses #1 • Sarah J. Maas

Book cover A Court of Thorns and Roses Sarah J. Maas

 

A thrilling, seductive new series from New York Times bestselling author Sarah J. Maas, blending Beauty and the Beast with faerie lore.

When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution for it. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she only knows about from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal, but Tamlin—one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled their world.

As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she’s been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow grows over the faerie lands, and Feyre must find a way to stop it . . . or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.

Perfect for fans of Kristen Cashore and George R. R. Martin, this first book in a sexy and action-packed new series is impossible to put down!

I am a full-blown Sarah J. Maas fangirl. Her Throne of Glass series has become a true favorite of mine because of its complexity and darkness. When I first found out that a new series from Sarah would be starting next year, I possibly died. I just love the way she writes and imbues everything with emotions and consequences, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE her characters. I will read anything she writes. That is all.

It’s a bonus, then, that A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES sounds so fabulous. First of all, Feyre is a huntress. LOVE. Second of all, there’s a “fiery passion” and an “ancient, wicked shadow.” Third of all, two of my best favorite authors are in the blurb–Kristin Cashore and GRRM. My body is ready. I’ve already preordered this book.

A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES comes out on May 5, 2015 from Bloomsbury Children’s

  1. Ooo, I’m pretty excited to read this one as well! I love retellings, and I love fantasy, and I’ve enjoyed Maas’s debut series so far. Heir of Fire was so good O_O I hope you enjoy the book when you read it!

    Have a fabulous week 🙂

    Check out my WoW post!

  2. I haven’t even read Throne of Glass yet (don’t hate me) and I am PUMPED for this series. The general plot idea of this one seems more geared to my preferences than Throne of Glass, to be honest… but I can’t avoid ToG any longer because everyone loves it and I know I will too!

  3. As a fellow Sarah J. Maas fangirl, my enthusiasm for this upcoming new series knows no bounds! She completely won me over with her incredible Throne of Glass series; it seems likely that she’s going to do exactly the same thing with A Court of Thorns and Roses! All I know is – whatever Sarah J. Maas writes, you can bet I’ll totally be reading it!
