The first half of the book really just read as a retelling of Beauty and the Beast but the book started to pick up once

they were sent to the mountain and the trials ensued

. The book is romance fantasy but it's not overly sexual like if you are looking for 50 shades this book is not that. This I actually appreciate because I think the romance got to develop better without such graphic scenes all the time.

the ending wraps the story up quite nicely to the point that Im not rushing to the next book in the series

. Overall it's a good book and I look forward to listening to the next one.(However I should note I did NOT like the audio voice at first she literally sounded like a robot but I got used to it eventually).

I had heard about the book on TT as being a fairy smut novel, but this turned out to be a great disappointment. Not only for the laxk of smut, but it was an almost copy of The beauty and the beast (but fairy edition). I’m not a huge fan of fairies so if you don’t come into it with an adoration already, save some time and pick up another book

This book got me on a chokehold plot twist after plot twist. It was a bit slow for me at first but the second half??? Gut wrenching. Absolutely cannot wait to read the next one.

This was my first foray into the fantasy/romantasy genre. The last fantasy series I read was Harry Potter when I was 11 years old, so needless to say, it's been a while. One of the things I wanted to challenge myself on this year was to explore new genres and so after seeing the ACOTAR series countless times on my For You Page, I decided to give them a try.

The first half of the book was a touch slow for my liking and I was slightly worried that I had made a terrible mistake but something clicked in the second half and the book completely opened up. I found myself becoming more and more invested in Feyre and Tamlin's budding relationship and was very tense and nervous when we were taken to the Under the Mountain scenes. The book is spicy, the world feels expansive and lush, and for my first taste of romantasy, I ended the book very pleased and excited to start the next one in the series.

If you're like me, it's almost like you kind of have to get your "fantasy feet" wet to really get your bearing in the books and to fully get into them. It's a new world for me (literally) and although it took some time, I ended up really enjoying the read. Everyone keeps telling me that the next one is even better and a wilder ride so we shall see!
