- SO MANY RHYSAND EASTER EGGS !!!! The random “dreams” and knowing what he did for her and knowing his backstory just like… chefs kiss
- Tamlin is an abuser even in this book, and this is coming from someone who was 10000% team Tamlin the first go round. He has an unpredictable temper and Feyre expects violent outbursts from him even when she’s head over heels for him. Get away from that man!!!
- On the topic of Tamlin…. Maybe he should’ve… I don’t know… HELPED his girlfriend at all?? I get that he was trying to seem “indifferent” but Rhys was playing the same card and he still made the situation better for her. Tamlin be supportive challenge level impossible
- Tamlin is just so icky and I won’t ever be able to go back to my OG view of him after ACOMAF and ACOWAR like he’s just the WORST
- Loving how Tamlin and Lucien are like “Rhysand is so dangerous and violent and you have to stay away from the night court it’s so bad” but I know full well the night court inner circle during Amarantha is just like cutting it up and getting drunk the whole time. Bffr
- Loving that Feyre was like “I can’t wait to live with Tamlin for years and years and years” like she’s not gonna bounce from that man’s house within like 6 months. Good to have goals girl!

But honestly, this book was boring... It is toxic. It's weird. I think it's really unoriginal and predictable. The writing isnt all that great, it's so simple. And I kinda hated that the second time around.

I think Feyre had the opportunity to become an annoying (negative) main character; a character who succeeds due merely to her plot armor and every male character finding her attractive. I was glad that she struggles, she learns, and she adapts. Her sisters, who clearly have different values than her, are never pitted against her and their conflicts are understandable and based in their shared histories.
I was absolutely shocked how infrequent and how mild the smut was in this book as well. This, I consider a good thing as I think anything beyond wouldn't really have served the story or would have needed to happen at a point in the story where it wouldn't have made sense.
The worldbuilding was intriguing, and I'm curious to see where things go in the subsequent stories. However, I feel like some future plot points are getting set up that will not be satisfying to read. Which is to say I think many things with Rysand feel like they didn't have long enough to percolate. But this book ain't about him, so maybe I just wish he was a little less present.
