Amarantha’s Riddle

“There are those who seek me a lifetime but never we meet,
And those I kiss but who tremble me beneath ungrateful feet.

At times I seem to favor the clever and the fair,
But I bless all those who are brave enough to dare.

By large, my ministrations are soft-handed and sweet,
But scorned, I become a difficult beast to defeat.

For through each of my strikes land a powerful blow,
When I kill, I do it slow.”

What is the aswer to this riddle?

A Map of Prythian

“I looked northward and stepped back again. The six other courts of Prythian occupied a patchwork of territories. Autumns, Summer, and Winters were easy enough to pick out. Then above them, two glowing courts; the southernmost one, a softer redder pallet, the Dawn Court; above in bright gold and yellow and blue, the Day Court. And above that, perched in a frozen mountainous spread of darkness and stars, the sprawling massive territory of the Night Court.”

A Court of Thorns and Roses, Sarah J. Maas

Accompanying maps are always a nice addition to any story, especially when the author is trying to create a realistic imaginary world. Mass does a great job in her “A Court of Thorns and Roses”. This is the first in her series by the same name.

Once I got into the text, I had a hard time putting it down. It has a great plot: the forces of good against the forces of evil, your typical fantasy genre. The story is around a female protagonist , a mortal huntress, and her High Lord Farie lover who quite reluctantly fight the powers of darkness that are trying to take over Prythian.
