Fantasy is usually medieval, or at least has a monarch or something, but I have never seen a writer blend modern day and magic; humans and myth together so expertly that our modern day world now seems soooo empty and uninteresting outside the book. Sarah J. Maas took the modern day world, folklore, myths and every story told to us at bedtime and blended them in a way that only she can. I have often wondered if it could be done, fantasy of modern times beyond Harry Potter and London. But I have seen someone with a creativity as crazy as J.K Rowling and Tolkien combined. Any literary work from that mind is sure to take two things that don't mix, and blend them like they were made for each other. Simply wonderful, every character, twist and turn keeps you on the edge of your seat like you're watching a movie because really, Maas creates characters that stretch their hands out of the book, and pull you right into it so that everything is playing right before your very eyes. A robust, artfully and well rounded world with equally well rounded characters.This is Greek mythology, European folklore, normal everyday life with a top sprinkling of religion all folded into the letters on a page- her talent is another form of magic in itself! Another masterfully pieced masterpiece from the Da Vinci of writing...a must read!

The best book ever! Sarah J. Maas is an absolutely gifted writer. The plots, settings and how she so effectively gives each character a distinct, infectious personality of their own is so outstanding that it renders me totally speechless. I'm hooked! Her story is so addictive that you don't know when you finish it, and you don't know when you go looking for more! Once you're done with one series, you just need more of her magic and it leads you to all of her other books. This story is woven so that you are anticipating the almost very visible action in every page because it is so perfectly immersive- you feel, see, smell, hear and can almost even taste whatever the characters do; you find yourself going through whatever they go through and loving them as if you're in the book or as if they're in your life and when you're done, when you come out of the so wonderfully REAL world of her books, you find yourself struggling to learn how to live on earth again!
