Who or what is The Suriel?

The Suriel is an ancient, court-unaligned faerie creature of Prythian — an oracle/seer older than the world itself — that is magically bound to answer truthfully any question asked of it once it has been trapped. In A Court of Thorns and Roses, Feyre snares one (luring it with a freshly killed chicken in a birch grove) to learn the truth about Tamlin, the blight, and Prythian; across the series it returns to aid her three times before being killed by Hybern's forces in A Court of Wings and Ruin. Far more than a plot device, it is ultimately revealed to have helped Feyre "not just for kindness... but because it was a dreamer."

What's the story behind The Suriel?

Velaris — cobblestone streets sloping toward the Sidra river, hand-painted shutters on narrow townhouses, wrought-iron bridge railings cool to the touch, lanterns reflected in the Sidra's current, cliff city terraced above the sea, salt air mixed with woodfire, stone worn smooth by ten thousand years of footsteps, the Rainbow district's painted storefronts, starlight visible from every rooftop.

What are the recurring motifs of The Suriel?

Recurring motifs: oldest forager, truth-telling, forest hidden, price of a question, binding spell, knows everything.

What's a memorable The Suriel quote?

"You will be loved, Feyre Cursebreaker, by those who would burn the world for you." — The Suriel, ACOTAR
