I was impressed by the pacing and overall story. I don't understand why some people are so opposed to this book.

The first book of one of y favorite series. The second weakest in the series in terms of plot and character development, but it sets the stage and the world building really picks up in the second half. If you're a fan of fae and of retellings, I think ACOTAR is a series for you.

Liked
-Feyre's courage
-Depiction of ruthlessness in humans and faeries
-description of trauma and grief
-the characters we meet

Disliked
-the uselessness of Feyre's family
-Tamlin's temper tantrums
-Feyre's inability to figure out the world's easiest riddle
-the choppy pace of the book (way too slow to way too fast)

This book was a decent read/listen. It could have been a stronger first book in the series. It wasn't an amazing enough book for me to want to continue reading the rest of the series, but the general plot and pacing of the story was enjoyable. It felt a little bit too predictable at times. The enemies to lovers trope didn't feel as believable as it could've been, especially as the enemies to lovers trope can sometimes be hard to write well. Tamlin felt very two dimensional and could've used some extra attention in the character development area. With all the hype about the *spiciness*, I was hoping it would be spicy, but it really wasn't all that spicy. As much as I would like to continue, the second half of the book and the ending didn't convince me enough to continue reading the rest of the series.
