I honestly did love this book, very little descriptive sex scenes which I enjoyed. The ending was super well written and mostly just felt a little rushed at times. I wish we got to know more about the villain but I also understand it's the first book in a long series. 

My biggest complaints come from when Feyre and Tamlin first start the whole romance things. It felt, underdeveloped. Like he does a few nice things for her and then she's suddenly head over heals for him almost for no reason. She forgives him way to quickly and for someone who was kidnapped, kinda just looks over it and forgives him for VERYRHINF. Lucine is my fav though, and Feyre also forgives him too quickly. 

I enjoyed the ending but the middle and begining where a slight drag.

This book is all about world building and preparing for the second book, it seems. I was hoping for more of what the last 1/4th of the books story showed. It didn’t meet the expectations of what people were telling me about this book. I did like the characters and the descriptions of the world are very detailed. I personally felt it was very cringy for the first half and then gave me what I was expecting for the second.

It took me forever to finish this, because all the real action took place after 70% of the book. Romance is good and happens at the right pace. Some of the plot twists are ridiculous.
