Man. I did not like this book. Badly, childishly written with no care for the medium or the English language. Can someone check on the editors, cuz they definitely didn't check on this book. Only read it for book club, but wanted to go in at least somewhat impartial and form my own opinions but. The hate-readers were right 100%.

This was a really wonderful read! The pacing is fast and the plot is gripping. I could hardly put it down until I'd finished. Maas has a wonderful writing style too, apart from one too many uses of "my throat closed up" and "my mouth went dry" and a couple of grammatical errors- I found it slightly more ornate than that of most other modern writers, and there's definitely a lot less swearing. 

The characters are well-rounded, especially Feyre. However, there are a couple of plot inaccuracies
- for instance, the question of why Feyre couldn't see the Attor at first, despite the fact that it wasn't a member of the Spring Court.


Nonetheless, this was one of the best books I've read. I can't wait to read the rest of the series - I hope they're as good as this one!

Okay, I have finally jumped onto the ACOTAR bandwagon. I am a big lover of fantasy and romantasy so of course I’m liking this storyline. I’m also really loving some of these characters, so I can’t wait to see what happens next.
