“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.
It looks suspiciously like a bunch of troublesome islands I know, to the west of Europe 'proper'!

I do see the resemblance. Perhaps it is in a alternate dimension.
