Sarah J. Maas crafts a story that is interesting enough and set up in a way that I always wanted to know what happened next. However I just wish it was told byā¦ someone else. We all collectively agree that these books are not well written, right? Like from a factual standpoint??? Here are the top things that irritated me while reading:
1. Weird phrases and metaphors. We all know the water bowels from book one but in this book you get āI tried not to bleat like cattleā ā¦ like moo? Was she about to moo?????
2. Repetition. I get itās a long book and there are only so many ways to say things but then maybeā¦ some things donāt need to be said? The word āindeedā must have been said 100 times in this book. And Rhys doing feline things. And prick and vulgar gesture. We get it Feyre is ~feisty~
3. The dialogue and relationships. Personally I find it really uncomfortable when in books the character start acting too familiar with each other right off the bat. Whether itās asking invasive questions or Feyre/Nesta bitching people out instantly or cassian/rhys spewing sexual innuendos (or would it not be considered and innuendo if they are blatant and blunt? Like Rhys talking about licking Feyre š¤¢) or even Mor being immediately cheerful and loving towards Feyre. Let these relationships DEVELOP before saying all this crazy shit!!!
4. The horniness!! My god. I will admit Iām not a huge ~spice~ girly but I can dig it if it is meaningful. Like maybe the painty sexy scene could stay. But all the thirsting after each other and gross flirting and the THRONE SCENE (seriously why they needed to do that for āappearances sakeā is beyond me). And then them having sex like 50 times in a two chapter span. it wasnāt necessary to the story. Knock out a few steamy scenes fine but it was like (paraphrasing) āwe had dinner with friends then he fucked me at the table. We took a bath and he fucked me in the bath. We went to bed and fucked 4 times before dawn.ā SETTLE DOWN.
5. a lot of the things that people did wrong (how Rhys treated Feyre under the mountain) were explained away in kind of bs ways. Like the author maybe didnāt plan the justification before the person did the bad thing. Does that make sense? Who knows I am also not a great writer
6. Feyre is just kind of annoying. And likeā¦ unremarkable. I found it hard to sympathize for her. And why everyone loves her so much has me like ???
SORRY FOR THE RANT the bottom line: was I entertained? Yes. The plot and the setting was interesting. The characters were fun if a bit unrealistic. I did find it hard to follow at times but that could be me just not giving it my full attention or not remembering details well.
BUT I do understand the memes now so for that, I am grateful. We do it for the FOMO šāāļø

I LOVE RHYSAND TO INFINITY AND BEYOND. What a magnificent creature. Maas crafts his heartbreaking story so flawlessly, intersecting purposefully with Feyreās even from the first moment they met in the first book. I was blown away by every detail revealed.
Alsoā¦ HE LETS HER BEJEWELED. IYKYK!!!
āBut I was his mate. He would yield only for me.ā
I canāt wait to see what happens next between the High Fae and the mortal realm as they go to swiftly into that dark nightā¦
