I really enjoyed the world built by Sarah J Maas in this book and loved the writing style, but found many of the plot lines to follow predictable and familiar tropes. I think this series has a lot of potential so I will continue reading - even if just to learn more about Rhysand! I never fully invested in Feyre and Tamlin’s relationship and find the dynamic to be quite stale. I find Rhysand a much more interesting character and am intrigued to see how his relationship develops with Feyre!

I feel like this is one of the silliest books, if not the silliest book, I have ever finished, but I also couldn’t put it down? I definitely wouldn’t call it good, but it reads like something smutty off fanfiction dot net circa 2002, so it’s a certain kind of cozy (for something with a fair amount of gore in it). I’m about Maas’s age so it makes sense. 

It’s a little noncon so if you’re sensitive to that maybe avoid it.

I can’t believe I’ve actually read this. Graphic audio is wonderful, there should be graphic audio for every book ever cuz that was wonderful (except for the moaning) some of it was really funny cuz I was listening to it at 1.5x speed (like a normal person) and listening to sped up moans, laughs and music was definitely a bonus.

I’m excited to see how she ends up with Rhys cuz like she seems happy but like I can already tell she’s better with Rhys LIKE COME ON

I do really like Lucien cuz he’s just a mean twink. If he ends up being not even a bit fruity I will be angry. (And I will be cuz this is SJM so I’m not expecting much)
