Looking like a wolf
Feyre compares the deer she is hunting to a wolf. Initially, Feyre is curious if the deer is realistic because of its size and shape. Feyre says, "But despite his size, he looked like a wolf, moved like a wolf." The simile reminds readers that Feyre's primary activity is hunting, and her life depends on how many hunters she can kill in a month. However, Feyre sometimes needs clarification when differentiating between wolves and deer.
Faces like stones
Feyre and other mercenaries know that Faeries are the worst enemies because they are fierce and unpredictable. One of the mercenaries expresses her worries about the Faeries, and the narrator compares her face to a stone. The mercenary says, "No one knows what the Fae are planning, their faces are like stones.” The comparison of Fae to stones shows the seriousness of the mercenary's statement because she wants everyone to believe and take necessary precautions when interacting with the Faeries.
Stinking like a pig
Tamlin compares Feyre to a stinking pig as a way of demeaning her. Tamlin tells Feyre, "You stink like a pig covered in its filth." Paradoxically, Tamlin ensures Feyre is locked indoors because he does not want to be free. If Feyre roams freely, she will ally with Tamlin's enemies to bring him down. Therefore, Tamlin compares Feyre to a big to remind her that she is useless.
