Summary of A Court of Thorns and Roses

Feyre is hunting to feed her family, but she wishes she could just hang out and paint. Under her huntress exterior lays the heart of an artist. This first chapter actually reads a bit like the Hunger Games, but it seems pretty unfair to complain just because a different female character is hunting.
She’s about to kill a doe, but a massive wolf attacks it. Feyre isn’t sure if the wolf is a faerie or an animal because it’s “the size of a pony”, but just in case, she kills it using an ash arrow that she just happened to buy last year (ash is deadly to Faeries).
For a moment, I wished I had it in me to feel remorse for the dead thing. But this was the forest, and it was winter.
Girl means business.
We also find out that sometimes Feyre hooks up with Isaac, but he’s nothing special. I actually really dug that this story has a protagonist that isn’t a virgin and never apologizes for it (nor did anyone ever try to make her feel like she should apologize for it.) No time is wasted with Feyre pining over Isaac as though there’s a chance in hell she will wind up with his human ass.

Introduction

Feyre is hunting to feed her family, but she wishes she could just hang out and paint. Under her huntress exterior lays the heart of an artist. This first chapter actually reads a bit like the Hunger Games, but it seems pretty unfair to complain just because a different female character is hunting.

She’s about to kill a doe, but a massive wolf attacks it. Feyre isn’t sure if the wolf is a faerie or an animal because it’s “the size of a pony”, but just in case, she kills it using an ash arrow that she just happened to buy last year (ash is deadly to Faeries).

For a moment, I wished I had it in me to feel remorse for the dead thing. But this was the forest, and it was winter.

Girl means business.

We also find out that sometimes Feyre hooks up with Isaac, but he’s nothing special. I actually really dug that this story has a protagonist that isn’t a virgin and never apologizes for it (nor did anyone ever try to make her feel like she should apologize for it.) No time is wasted with Feyre pining over Isaac as though there’s a chance in hell she will wind up with his human ass.

Chapter 1

We meet Feyre’s terrible family. They used to be rich, lost all their money, and they all rely on Feyre to get shit done for them, never thank her, are only nice to her when she has something they want, and are rude AF when she asks them to like chop some firewood.

It wasn’t that Elain was cruel. She wasn’t like Nesta, who had been born with a sneer on her face. Elain sometimes just … didn’t grasp things. It wasn’t meanness that kept her from offering to help; it simply never occurred to her that she might be capable of getting her hands dirty.

They all resent their father who refuses to find a job because of his limp/busted leg. Creditors beat him up when he couldn’t pay off his debts. Why does this keep happening in books we read? I feel like Abby and Mia are standing behind me like, “Why the eff did you give us such a hard time when our father’s encountered this same plot device that made us SO TOUGH?”

We do find out a lot about who Feyre is in this moment:

“Nesta and Elain had fled into the bedroom, barricading the door. I had stayed, begging and weeping through every scream of my father, every crunch of bone. I’d soiled myself— and then vomited right on the stones before the hearth. Only then did the men leave. We never saw them again.”

She fucking stayed there when the going got scary and tough. She bore witness to this whole thing and at least tried to make it stop. Feyre, I see you.

Feyre learned how to hunt from other people and she did it of her own accord to try to keep things together while her father healed/learned to walk again and obviously beyond that since he just kind of gives up and refuses to work even after he could again.

Everyone (well, mainly Nesta) continues to be horrible, telling Feyre why she should give the money to them that she gets for the wolf, refusing to go out and chop wood, saying she smells bad…it’s so ridiculous! I know this is a typical fairytale thing, but still.

I also love how Feyre’s practical side continues to be shown along with her deep hurt over how her family treats her. She thinks about her dead mother, and is kind of relieved she doesn’t have another mouth to feed. Like that is real as fuck.

We also find out Feyre made a promise to her mother on her deathbed (again, characters from Calendar Girland BeautifulDisasterare in good company) to take care of her family. Why are parents always making their children promise really intense shit as they die? Surely, this is emotional abuse.

Feyre gets into a fight with Nesta when Nesta announces she’s going to marry the woodcutter’s son. Feyre says she would love for Nesta to leave, but there’s no way this is going to happen since his family is also poor and she’d be another mouth to feed. It’s harsh, but again, Feyre is living a no bullshit life.

Her dad is like, “God, let your sister hope!” And Feyre is like, “Fuck hope.” But what if hope wasn’t fucked? That’s basically the whole book, I just recapped it for you in one line.

Chapter 2

Feyre’s sisters follow her to the market. They run into the detested Children of the Blessed who are religious fanatics obsessed with Faeries. I have finished this book and a quarter of the next one, and these people are mentioned rarely. Maybe their presence is more about introducing the concept of the “High Fae” which are not stoned faeries but ones that look like humans with especially strong powers and sex appeal.

At the market, Feyre meets a badass mercenary lady who offers her an amazing price for the wolf pelt partially because she is impressed and partially because someone once helped her when she was in need and wants to pay it forward. I liked this scene. It would have been so easy for this character to be a male mercenary, but we get another badass woman instead.

We get more details about how Fae lands are separate from the human ones because of a treaty forged centuries ago after a huge war. Humans used to be slaves to the Fae, but now mostly leave them alone because of the treaty. For the past fifty years it seems like something’s cooking because more Fae are coming across the border and attacking humans.

My favorite detail comes at the end of the chapter. Nesta makes some snide comments about she hopes Feyre is being careful with Isaac, and Feyre reveals that Isaac is the one who takes a “contraceptive brew” DON’T YOU FUCKING WISH WE HAD THAT AS AN OPTION?

Later, the family eats dinner, but they’re interrupted by a ROAR!
