Dieser Band war deutlich besser als der erste, es gab Spannung und ich habe das Gefühl, das Feyre und auch andere Charaktere eine starke Entwicklung hingelegt haben. Der Schreibstil hat mich in den Bann gezogen, sodass ich geradezu gefesselt war. Nur ein paar kleine Sachen am Anfang haben mich gestört, was die Darstellung von Schönheit angeht.
Now for my English friends:
This one was far better than the first one because there is finally some more action and Feyre as well as other characters get some really good character development. The writing style was fantastic, it pulled me into the story and I loved the funny bits of it. There were only some minor things in the beginning, about beauty, that bothered me.

- I like S.J.M.'s descriptions of cities, landscapes and clothes
- I think the basis/premise of the world is very interesting
- I enjoy fantasy stories where the MCs train and get to know their powers like in this story and I enjoy the fight scenes
- I do like that the focus is on different relationships (friendships and romantic – found family)
- I am invested enough to be curious how the story continues/I want to finish the series
- I liked that they flirted via letters/texts (kinda made it feel a little 21st century)
- Not a fan of her endings until now
- Though I liked the descriptions it is a long ass book.
- maybe I'm not getting it but sometimes I don't believe the threads of some plots come together so that they "make sense" to me. Sometimes I got confused by the world building or the magic system rules or the change in behavior or descriptions of creatures.
-> Either I don't get it but mostly I feel like I notice how she introduces/ changes certain characters, plot points to get the story where she wants to. But I don't feel like it's quite built in nicely/naturally which takes me out of the story.- Why do girls already mature with 14 like humans even though they're faey?
How they age and their development stages are confusing
- Why do girls already mature with 14 like humans even though they're faey?
- especially the end and the cauldron and book story seems so weird and inconsistent...
... also that the solution seems to be her giving herself up to Tamlin again? I don't get it tbh (for the advancement of the plot and character yes but again, felt the execution lacked) - the trials with the weaver, bone carver, orbe... don't seem very necessary, also the reasons behind why they encountered them are more than a little weak /not natural, except to further the romance/character development get the story where she wants
- Very cringe at times, mostly concerning the romance plot(s)/wording (but I have that with pretty much any romance)
- Sometimes they say: "that's his/her story to tell..." other times people go in depths about trauma's others have endured...
- Less spice than advertised
- very fast character development/pivots:
- Don't think the whole "Tamlin turning bad"-storyline is convincing enough for me and he seems dafter, also ....not necessary. I can imagine maybe the author wanted to create a situation where the readers may reflect in the sense of: "everybody could end up in a abusive relationship", "people can change", "people aren't what they seem"... I can appreciate that.... Or maybe it's just so we automatically "ship" the new couple. but I believe it could be told more convincingly.
- Feyre herself...
