Very entertaining! I feel like people really hyped the smut in this book, and there was a little, but it was mainly fantasy plot driven with lots of political drama. The main character was irritating to me at first, but she's growing on me. I really liked it and I'm excited for the next one!

There is no rape in this book, but there are allusions to it. A lot of power dynamics in this book that could be potentially triggering.

Deals with some heavier topics and with some very descriptive content similar to the hunger games. Definitely leans more towards college age young adults than teenagers.

A very consumable book. The world is interesting to be in, but it feels quite shallow. The main character is very frustrating, and for a "fiesty, strong young woman" protagonist, acts in very foolish ways that made me put the book down and sigh. She also doesn't have a lot of agency and 99% of her problems end up being solved by someone else. The power curve is absurd. The book constantly reminds us how fragile she is and how rapidly she will die, which actually strips the narrative of all tension, because you know the protagonist is going to somehow live and succeed against ridiculous odds. The love interests are quite uninteresting, and I was not really convinced of love much at all, only lust. Going back to Feyre's agency, she is lied to, manipulated, drugged and assaulted and still seems perfectly happy with the relationships. It goes to show that just because a book is popular, doesn't mean it is high quality.
