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.

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.

After a re-read

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.

Also

after 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

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!!

I only liked the middle of the book and some chapters by the end, the rest is too slow pace, very weak plot, and some moments I felt bad reading it

This book started so slow. I DNF the physical book twice before finally listening to the dramatized audio. The last 1/4 of the book got really good. Now I’m not sure if I want to get the physical copies of the rest of the series or just continue to listen.
