The only reason I didn't give this amazing book 5 stars is because it had several scenes of detailed animal death. Most of them were the same scene over & over. Unnecessary.

Wasn't really into the romance. I thought it would be subtle, but its kinda graphic in some parts. Also the plot is pretty basic and predictable. I already knew what was going to happen within the first 2ish chapters and didn't really want to stick around to see if I was right.

Definitely enough to peak interest, but the plot itself is a little too convenient, I know it’s fantasy but some parts just feel so unrealistic. Omg your punishment is to live with sexy fae in a beautiful mansion where it is always springtime 🙄
Fun world and the series does get a lot better.

Wow my first impression of this book is wild. I originally gave it 3.75 but I decided to bump it up to 4.
The main character is likeable and there is interesting world building without feeling like youre slogging through world building. The characters are all pretty unique and personalities come through very clearly.
The plot is still pretty convenient, and there are still some super weird moments (looking at YOU weird sex Great Rite which apparently every high lord participates in but we never hear about again?? ).
But overall a really good introduction to the FMC and the world. Super wants me wanting more.
Alsoafter the re-read, Tamlin is straight up just lustful for Feyre. Its so obvious, he’d rather fuck thank ask her how she is doing and check in on her

I listened to the dramatized audiobook on Spotify. The way the story built up to the end was amazing, I was on the edge of my seat! I loved everything that happened and the ethereal imagery painted by the author.
*Side note: I knew the answer to Amarantha's riddle as soon as she said it, which either means I'm an intellectual and my English classes have paid off, or it was really obvious. But this is a petty comment, I found the book to be very creative and well-written otherwise.

This book had me feeling all the emotions. From sadness, to anger, to more sadness and to hopefulness, I didn’t want this book to end but at the same time, I needed to know what happened. I understand the hype. This was my first adult fantasy book and it did not disappoint!!
