The MC is incredibly bland and at first none of the plot or relationships made any sense. I had a LOT of eye rolling and it wasn't until the end that I realized that MC is bland for a REASON. Having a blank canvas character allows the reader to project themselves into the story more easily...which is probably why people like it so much. Yearning, romance, sex - its all much more fun when you can imagine your self as the recipient.
And for that the book did its job. Its a wonderful YA y/n self insert self indulgent book. The spice level is pretty low - the 1.5 scenes were short, laced with metaphors and not particularly racy. But I come from the land AO3.
The plot was kind of weird, especially the last third with the trials. It seems the second and third books are better BUT i will not be reading them because there are more compelling love stories with muh better sex, slow burn and enemies to lovers.

I felt like the overall pacing was fast, but there is a chunk in the middle that was a bit slower. I'm thankful for that chunk though because that's where I understood the characters as people more and I was drawn closer to them. There were a lot of twists, some I saw coming, others I didn't. I didn't find Feyre likeable throughout the whole book, but I could understand why she was the way she was and I eventually did like her.
I highly recommend ACOTAR especially to anyone that wants to venture into the fantasy genre. I'm immediately starting the next book!

Also, Feyre is an idiot. Makes it really hard to love her character when she continuously makes the worst decisions over and over.
