Really enjoyed the book. The first half was definitely a slow start but it did pick up in the second half, which I felt was needed. I liked the strong female protagonist but felt that her relationship with Tamlin moved really quickly and was kind of surface level, considering how much she loathed him at the start. 

I really enjoyed the world building aspects, though, and I’m excited to read the rest of the series.

Am I supposed to like Tamlin? I was really unimpressed with him as the love interest. He didn’t do anything to help Feyre in the entire second half of the book. He doomed his court by sending her away and she literally got more help from Lucien and Rhysand and they weren’t even the ones in love with her?? Why did he do nothing but try to hook up with her, which would have literally gotten her into more trouble with Amarantha??? Literally makes no sense to me. Tamlin is giving “ick”, he’s just kind of whiney and selfish in that regard. It’s like he expected her to just die and was like “okay I guess that’s all I can do”

The first 50 pages was a bit boring but then I can't stop reading it. IT'S SO GOOD. The ending was great. I can't wait reading the next book as it will focus on Rhysand and Feyre more. I'm curious as to how she fall out of love with Tamlin, the reason of why she did all of this. I can't wait for her family knows what she is now.

ACOTAR may be the world building book for the series, but to me it wouldve been this good even on its own. If youve never read fantasy before, get through the first 25 pages before you walk away. I was worried that the romance aspect would eclipse the plot, but I was very pleasantly surprised!

Look it may not be the most well written and there are some grey lines that are towed in this book, but it definitely is addicting and I definitely will be reading the next books.  If you’re looking for an easy fantasy read that is slightly dark, it does the job.  It’s cliche, but if you’re just here for the vibes, do it.
