Bare with it because it is a slow burn but the pay off is really good. A really strong mix of characters but found the pace a little inconsistent. Felt the last part (most interesting was compressed into the last third of the book)

Lil' miss Stockholm syndrome needs to get a grip. All of these people are awful.

Tamlin is so bland and also lies so much. I looked up who she ends up with and I'm so glad its not him... although Rhys is also awful.

 
Anyway I had fun despite it all so 2.25 stars

Fun, adventurous, horny, dark but surprisingly lovely and interwoven with folklore and romance. Got me out of a reading slump for sure

Not bad, but not amazing as BookTok lead me to believe. I had low expectations just because I am wary of BookTok, but I think that allowed me to enjoy it more than I think I would thinking this book was going to be life changing for me. Feyre is somewhat tolerable and Tamlin, I don't get him he's just plain awful. I mean mister Rhysand is better, but not by a lot. Lucien is my MVP for this book.

Honestly, I get the hype of these books. This one was really addictive, however, it is a slow start because there's just so much being thrown out there, so much world-building, and it's just setting up so much. Granted this was like my second attempt at reading this series and I went down the audiobook route and not just an audiobook it was a dramatized version, and it was just so good. Definitely get the dramatized version if there's ever an option. Anyway, if I had to describe this book it's definitely Beauty and the Beast inspired meets Hunger Games. I'm not sure Hunger Games is the best route but I'm thinking the game portion where it's life and death and competing in trials because that's what Feyre is eventually forced to go through. I really loved this one and it was so hard to put down.
