ACOTAR pulled me out of a massive reading slump—and for that alone, it deserves praise. But what really gripped me were the characters. I loved them all, even the ones I suspect I’m not “supposed” to. Feyre is fierce and flawed in all the right ways, and her bond with Tamlin had me completely invested. (Yes, I’m a proud Tamlin defender.) But if I had to pick a favorite? It’s Lucien. His loyalty, sarcasm, and hidden depth made every scene he was in stronger.
The plot was darker and more emotionally charged than I expected, and it hooked me fast. Maas builds a world that’s both enchanting and brutal, and she doesn’t shy away from consequences. This isn’t just a fantasy romance—it’s a story about sacrifice, survival, and hard choices.
I’m in. Fully. This series has my focus now.

Oof brutal read - I had to grit my teeth to get through this one so I could feel a part of the hype but oh my lord talk about a Mary Sue fantasy story. I was pretty down with the plot and the forbidden romance through the first half of the book, but the whole second half threw me for a loop and I could not wrap my mind around any of the character’s motivations. 

My friend said the second book and the rest of the series is better. Thankfully the second audiobook is available on Libby to rent immediately!

Feyre entering the world of Fae and learning about after giving up everything to save her family. The world building done just right and you know their surroundings from the first page.
I couldn’t give it a 5/5 because her visit home just felt rushed but it could just be how I read it. 
The time under mountain was morbid at times and challenging but the depth this part of the story cannot be faulted.

Desde el inicio no me agradó la protagonista femenina ni el masculino, Feyre y tamblin son muy tóxicos juntos y sentí que muy rápido se enamoraron como literalmente ir a buscarlo y sufrir todo eso con amarantha
