Hooked into the series! Not my favorite fantasy I’ve read but I’m excited to continue on with this world and see where the story goes from here.

i don't read much fantasy at all, so i would say i have nothing to compare this novel to, but i honestly had a blast reading this. will keep reading this series just for fun

(tw: mentions of sexual assault) i'm glad i first read it as an adult, because i feel like a lot of its themes wouldn't mean as much to me if i had been younger. while i can acknowledge that fiction is separate from reality, i find the author's depictions of sexual assault to be less than ideal.

how she depicts feyre's experiences with tamlin and rhysand excuse their behaviors if not outright say that feyre wanted and/or deserved the sa.

for this reason, i would strongly advise younger readers to steer clear, or at least go in knowing that maas' depictions are severely detached from actual real lived experiences. none of the romantic/sexual relationships depicted in this book are healthy and/or normal.

yes i read mid in between peak lit it's called a guilty pleasure

feyre was truly just so annoying to me. the writing style and the world building overshadow that so i do think it was a good book but god i hope she gets better throughout the series
