I've been hearing about this book and series for ages now. It isn't usually a genre I care for but it was recommend I listen to the dramatized adaptation of it. The book is broken down into two parts and I was able to borrow them from Hoopla. It comes in two parts so you will need to get part 1 and part 2. I have the physical book copy but it wasn't pulling me in however the dramatized version did so if you are like me I recommend you listen to the dramatized adaptation because it is entertaining. It is mixed with the voices of different actors, sound effects and music.
Nineteen year old Feyre is responsible for feeding and caring for her family. In order to do this she hunts. On a hunting trip she kills and skins a wolf unfortunately this results in her being taken by a fairy as retribution. She is forced to live with him in this castle but as she learns more about the Fae world and of her capture, Tamlin she finds herself wanting to save Tamlin and others like him.
I usually loathe books in which magical words of fairy's, wolves, dragons, etc are built but this one mixes in humans and it works. The creatures are also given human qualities making you on occasion forget that you are reading about a fantasy world.
This dramatization adaptation makes this book work for me otherwise I would have DNF'd it. It did take me checking out the audiobook twice to get through each part but it was worth it especially when I got to the last quarter of the book! Mass builds a world that is believable and magical. I will be moving on to the next book sometime this year. This isn't a series I can read books back to back in.
