very cute! didn't expect the plot twists that occurred and i loved the build up to the ending. i hated that it was slow to start but i also appreciated that they gave us time to get to know each character

I love Lucien first off, best character of the entire series. The sass and the red hair is just a plus. He’s so selfless. I love him way too much. And I love Rhysand , he’s sassy and brutally honest. Plus he sounds incredibly hot. Tamlin is great ofc, love that blond boy

Edit: This was before I read the second book!!!

Screw Tamlin

Took a while for much to happen. At least 5-10 chapters, but eventually it picked up, then slowed, then picked up again towards the end. 

Overall, I did enjoy the book. The main character is not a smart one, completely ignoring repeated warnings only to go off and do the exact thing she was warned against! And what do you know? There were consequences to not listening!! Shocker! 

The lore was the best part. I could’ve done without the random romance that was so very obviously going to happen - “kidnapped” and then falling for your captor trope much? 

Anyway, it was a good read once things actually started happening and I enjoyed the lore. Will continue to read the series. Hoping Feyre gets smarter

I don’t understand the hype of this book? The writing is poor and repetitive and barely anything happens. I’m going to give the second book a shot because the bar can’t get much lower and some of the characters are incredibly interesting but my hopes are not high.
