I am late to the game with this series, but I do think I would have enjoyed it more if I was a little younger. The emotional immaturity of the FMC contrasted with the MMCs was too much for me.

I bought the first two books of this series almost a year ago. I never picked them up because I felt very intimated and overwhelmed by the popularity of Sarah J. Maas and also by the massive catalogue of books I am to read if I enjoy it. 

I have to say, for all of the extreme hype over this series, I was expecting a little more. I love fantasy so of course, it was good, but I have definitely read better. However, this was still a good book, don’t get me wrong. Just a tad overhyped. All that being said, as a fantasy lover, I will definitely be continuing this series. 

I think people have said it gets better and I am extremely excited to get to know Rhysand. Honestly though, maybe it would have been better if it were not so popular and I did not have almost the entire book spoiled for me before reading. I just didn’t connect with Tamlin that much, but maybe I am already biased towards Rhysand. Anyways, enough talk. I enjoyed it overall and I’m picking up the next book as we speak in hopes that it will be a 5 star read.

Spice rating: 1/5 🌶️

Main character kinda whiny. Not strong. None of the characters are very deep or lovable. Don’t think I’ll continue with the series

The first of the ACOTAR books, this installment focuses on the background development of Feyre and her relationship with the High Lord Tamlin. After making a grave mistake while working to protect and provide for her cold-shouldered family, Feyre is faced with a choice to fight a losing battle or transition into the faerie world. The Spring Court seems to treat her well, although seeming to put her in an overprotective bubble. After a turn of events that leads Feyre to put her very human skills up against some of the strongest fae-made tests, she will soon learn though that mind games in the world of fae are very real, a much bigger war is being wagered, and not everyone is exactly who they seem.
