Feyre reads like a Pick Me in the beginning, which made me very unsympathetic to her and her plight. As the book continued, however, she became more human. Tamlin and Lucien began as more sympathetic characters.

I first read this book in May 2015, around the time it first came out. I then read the rest of the trilogy as those were releasing. Never read the novella and beyond.

I remember this installment being the worst (to me), and that still holds true in 2025. I just do not like Feyre in this story. She irritates the everloving piss out of me.
