Book of the Month: A Court Of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas Feyre, a girl trying to get enough to eat by hunting in the dangerous woods, takes down a wolf. Or was it? Her village lies mere miles from the boundary with the faerie world, the Wall, and they’ve seen more faeries than ever. It turns out that wasn’t just a wolf, after all, and Feyre is about to sacrifice all she knows to pay the price. There is more afoot with the faerie world than it seems, though, and her assumptions may prove to be far wrong. In fact, she may be their world’s only hope. This book is so captivating and the fantasy world it builds is immersive and addicting. What most stuck with me about this book, beyond the great setting and writing, is the character development. Feyre, her sisters, and each character you meet later in the book start off one way, but through the course of the book, grow and understand each other better as well. This was especially true of Feyre and her sisters, as well as Tamlin, who you meet after a few chapters in the book, and later Rhys also. Personally, I can’t wait to read the next books in the series, and I think this book appeals to a wide audience. I’d especially recommend it if you like The Hunger Games or Gregor the Overlander series by Suzanne Collins, Graceling by Kristen Cashore, or Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse Trilogy (all of which I would also recommend!)

Only that you were there… and still on your feet.” — Stephen King, The Stand “Ever’body’s askin’ that. ‘What we comin’ to?’ Seems to me we don’t never come to nothin’. Always on the way.” — John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath Image sources: Amazon, Wikipedia, The New Yorker, PetMD - Kate Voltz If you want to write for the Crescent Crier, we would love to see you at one of our virtual meetings, which are every Wednesday at 1:30pm!
