Holy yes!
After reading Fourth Wing I thought why not read this one.. So I did and OHMIGOD.
Did I devoured it in 3 days? Yes I did.

Did I fell in love with Rhys? ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY. He's a shadow-daddy. 🖤🦇
 
Am I starting A Court Of Mist & Fury now? Yes I am! Can't wait to see Velaris.. 😍

Overall this first book was perfect! The world building, we've seen Feyre's life before going to Prythian, we know where she comes from and we see her growing into her own person. 

And Tamlin? Sweet sweet Tamlin, he would do a lot for Feyre, but telling the truth? Nopes, not telling anything at all 🙄 Let's say if he would have told the truth at some point, a lot of shit wouldn't happened and yeah.. 

But now my last point: RHYSAND IS HOT. Seriously. Holy flying cows in a tornado. 🤭 He's the best (iykyk)
🦇🖤

Just read it please! I'm not gonna spoil everything. 😌

Definitely a book that kept me invested! For a book of true fantasy escapism, I would recommend this book. The world building, character building, romance, and plot weave together in a way that sucks you in. Lower than 4 stars because I don't think it's doing anything particularly new for the genre. Even so, I bet the whole series will be an engaging and easy read.

Okay so a friend of mine has been dying for me to read this series so she has someone to talk about them with, and I finally read it while travelling. No joke, this is the best fantasy romance I've read since I was a teen - and the smut is just the right amount (easily skippable if you don't want to read it!). A gorgeous and beautiful book.
