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 Kristin Cashore and George R. R. Martin, this first book in a sexy and action-packed new series is impossible to put down!
From Goodreads:
Feyre survived Amarantha's clutches to return to the Spring Court--but at a steep cost. Though she now has the powers of the High Fae, her heart remains human, and it can't forget the terrible deeds she performed to save Tamlin's people.
Nor has Feyre forgotten her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court. As Feyre navigates its dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a greater evil looms--and she might be key to stopping it. But only if she can harness her harrowing gifts, heal her fractured soul, and decide how she wishes to shape her future--and the future of a world cleaved in two.
With more than a million copies sold of her beloved Throne of Glass series, Sarah J. Maas's masterful storytelling brings this second book in her seductive and action-packed series to new heights.
Synopsis:
For Cassian, the brash, handsome Illyrian general of Rhysand's armies, dealing with the opposite sex has always been easy-and enjoyable. But when he's dispatched to the human realm to send a message for his High Lord, Cassian finds himself pitted against Feyre's sharp-tongued, steel-willed older sister Nesta. Honestly, Cassian has been aching for another round against the beautiful Nesta since their first tense meeting, though he certainly hasn't admitted that to anyone-even himself.
And Cassian certainly hasn't admitted that he may have finally met someone not so easily seduced by his quick grin and unfaltering arrogance.
Look at what happened at that second, private meeting-and why the High Lord's general refused to divulge any of the details of it when he later returned to the Night Court.

From Goodreads:
The Winter Solstice. In a week. I was still new enough to being High Lady that I had no idea what my formal role was to be. If we'd have a High Priestess do some odious ceremony, as lanthe had done the year before. A year. Gods, nearly a year since Rhys had called in his bargain, desperate to get me away from the poison of the Spring Court to save me from my despair. Had he been only a minute later, the Mother knew what would have happened. Where I'd now be. Snow swirled and eddied in the garden, catching in the brown fibers of the burlap covering the shrubs My mate who had worked so hard and so selflessly, all without hope that I would ever be with him We had both fought for that love, bled for it. Rhys had died for it.

My first review of A Court of Thorns and Roses, A Court of Mist and Fury, Wings and Embers, A Court of Wings and Ruin, A Court of Frost and Starlight
My second review of A Court of Thorns and Roses, A Court of Mist and Fury
My Review:
It was really fantastic to reread this series. Book 4 is coming out soon, and I just had to reread what came before it, since it has been at least 2 years since I read Frost and Starlight. So I was due a reread anyways. And it was so great to dive into the world of Prythian again!

I did read these books in order this time, though again I was tempted to start Mist and Fury before finishing Thorns and Roses. Thorns and Roses sets up this series and this world, but is also has Feyre happy with Tamlin, which is not the case the rest of the series. But they're both great stories that I enjoyed!
Reading Wings and Ruin again was just really great! I knew the broad strokes of the story, but the finer details were gone. Like I remembered that Feyre left the Spring Court after a certain point, but I forgot why she went on foot.
Oh, man, I had forgotten how the final battle went! I knew that our main cast survived, though I forgot how. And that they had some surprise reveal back ups, which ended badly for one or two. But it was just gut wrenching to read that ending, and it was just a fantastic read!
Frost and Starlight was just a really great book. We got to be in more than just Feyre's head, and to see them all dealing with the aftermath of the war. There are still threats out there, like the mortal queens, and the Illyrian has murmurs of rebellion. But I'm glad that these characters got to celebrate Solstice, and I can't wait to continue their stories!
These were such great reads, and I can't wait for A Court of Silver Flames!
