Despite not being my usual choice of book, this has reignited my passion for reading. I couldn’t wait to pick it up again to find out more about the world, the dynamics and the outcomes of decisions. Although I did find some of the choices and writing questionable at points, the world building and character growth and development made it a worthwhile read! I can see why this book has so much hype around it and have immediately picked up the next!

This book was incredible! There’s a lot of things in the beginning I was so confused and maybe even a little cringed out by but as soon as you learned the reasonings behind everything it was just so lovely. I am in lOVE with all of the characters esp MC, she has so much development throughout the book, aswell as the relationships built it was truly amazing. I loved how it was an easy read but still had so much detail. Last thing! I LOVED how the spicy scenes were kept short and sweet, enough to get me a little giddy but not to much to where i was like “okayy when will this end” (i’m not really into a lot of spice) I will 100% be continuing the story i’m ecstatic to see where Rhys and MC relationship goes and how her and tam end up aswell!

Maybe I’m just not an ACOTAR girlie. But reading a bad book isn’t as gut wrenching, as being disappointed in a book with much potential. I should have thoroughly enjoyed this novel, as someone who loves fantasy, curses, fairy tale retellings, and hidden worlds beyond the human realm. Maybe I started reading this book when the series has been so hyped, such that my expectations were too high. But the writing (forever will I be haunted by the description of the sky as “periwinkle” with splashes of “magenta and pumpkin”—and not in a good way), character development, and pacing made this story not as engrossing as I had hoped. While Maas likely wanted to spend a good chunk of the book devoted to Feyre and Tamlin’s developing romance and Feyre’s “growth,” I did not buy their love too much and I found myself let down that the most interesting part of the novel and actual lore/world building occurred in the last 30% of the novel (I get that Tamlin + his court wasn’t able to tell Feyre the truth but still… ugh). I did hear the second book is the best one in the series, so I will return to give ACOTAR another chance again—I just might need a pause.
