This book is better than I expected. I should not be surprised, considering that I am already a fan of the Crescent City series that author, Sarah J mass wrote. However, as I waited for the release of the third book, I told myself that I did not need to read the ACOTAR series. Guess who changed their mind after finishing the third book? Me! I’ve heard mixed reviews about this series, especially the first book. I see what all the fuss is about when it comes to Feyre and Rhysand. No, I’m not so sure how I really feel about the former. I’ll get back to you on that. 

The one thing that I liked about ACOTAR was the world building. As I continue to read the rest of the books in the series I am sure the other Courts will be introduced. At times , I felt like I was in the world of Prythian. I’m so excited to read the next book. The introductions of new characters and the different courts are what I am really looking forward to. The only thing I didn’t like was that I did not read this book earlier. I really should have.

This book is heavily based on fairy tales (Beauty and the Beast). I didn’t finish this book the first time a read it but this time I was successful. From what I’ve heard from Maas fans this is her worst book, which for the record was a good book. There were some things I thought should be different in the book but still a great read.
