Okay this was so fun to read!! It’s got Faerie paperwork, Faerie bank accounts, vulgar gestures, and enough growls and hisses and snarls to fill a zoo. This was much stronger than the first installment, and actually made the first one make more sense, though it was still often goofy and full of weird plot holes. I truly have no concept of what anyone’s powers are, they seem limitless until there is a random thing they can’t do, but even then they might be able to do it at a later time. And the plot really didn’t make much sense at all

like when Feyre got mad about the mate reveal, I feel like the only reason she was angry was to get them alone in a cabin for a sex marathon, not because she would be legitimately angry at the bond with a person she obviously loves

.  And I will say SJM can write about trauma in a surprisingly nuanced way, so that made Feyre’s character arc much more compelling than in ACOTAR. The last few chapters had me ON EDGE! I had a blast reading this and I guess now I am, perhaps begrudgingly, a sjm girlie. I’m hooked! You got me!

**2023 REREAD**

This book is great. It stands up on a reread so well, and it’s also fun to see the foreshadowing and the little Easter eggs.

The plot is definitely the weakest part of the book until the last hour or so. This is definitely a romance first, high fantasy second. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’ll have a lot of fun!

The relationship progression is definitely fast, but I can see why. The characters in this book all deserve so much room for growth and development, and I’m excited to see it in the rest of my reread.

My original rating stands up. 4.5 stars.

I!! GET!! THE!! HYPE!!!!!!

The first book really had me thinking I was going to be the only person to hate this series. But this one!! This one changed it all for me. 

All the emotions. The pining! The tension! The heartbreak! I devoured it all.

The ending had my heart racing. Feyre is such a strong and selfless character. And my bat boys! Such golden retrievers. 

Really not a lot to say except I GET IT NOW!!! The hype? Worth it.

Absolutely in love with this book, still some repetitiveness like the first book but the writing is so improved. The characters are so full and interesting and the overall story is emotional, tense and beautiful
