adventurous medium-paced

2.5

How come every time I felt like I was nearing the middle of the book or the end I would be surprised by the fact that I was nowhere near it. 

Also the scream I scrumpt when Feyre finds Rhys in the spooky woods by SMELLING HER COOCHIE ON HIM?

I struggled so hard with the middle of this book. The beginning was hard but carried the plot nicely and the end?? I was obsessed. I didn’t think I’d enjoy this series but I made it to the end and I’m so excited to start the third book.

I liked book 2 MUCH more than book 1, there are aspects of this book I wish were less rigid. Also I basically cringe everytime they say “female”

After the first book, I was a little nervous about it still not holding up to its reputation but holy shit, this was like the real start to the series. Loved the relationships and all the craziness at the end of the book, I have a couple book club books to get through before I can power through the next one, but I can't wait.

2.0

I think that the heteronormative system that sjm establishes just really got in the way of me enjoying the book. I didn’t really expect it in a fae setting (why establish sexism in a world you made up if you’re not going to engage with it critically??) Also it feels a little weird to me that sjm portrays the fae as a relatively sexually liberated society, yet “whore” carries such weight as an insult. Again, it could be interesting if she engages with it critically but it just seems a little shallow as is. Having read two of the books now, the books are really starting to lack tension/stakes for me. Everything always goes right for Feyre and none of the relationships have any chance to build (there’s potential for more tension in the relationships, but the potential is ultimately wasted). Any “tension” is based on silly miscommunications which honestly made me dislike the characters more. I’m begging sjm to let her characters have flaws!! Like how are they all perfect? It’s boring!
