I can see why people don’t like this book but I loved it! I’ve heard people say that it’s really repetitive but Feyre is an artist and resource full and is constantly paying attention to detail and running things over in her brain. This book is in her POV and it takes a deep dive into her mind. It’s amazing

The setup of an incredible

bait and switch

. Was pretty sure I wouldn't read any more of these until the last third of it, then ended up finishing the entire series in about a week. Totally worth it.

Some serious injuries happen to the main character that made this book less enjoyable for me. It’s like 3 hours of torture immediately into a spicy scene? Questionable. You’re not missing anything if you skip this one, there’s nothing wildly magnetic about the writing.

This book does fantasy and romance right! I’m really picky about fantasy and I generally don't like romance unless it’s nestled in an already good story and I found this book so satisfying. I cannot wait to read everything about the ACOTR world!
