I love Lucien first off, best character of the entire series. The sass and the red hair is just a plus. He’s so selfless. I love him way too much. And I love Rhysand , he’s sassy and brutally honest. Plus he sounds incredibly hot. Tamlin is great ofc, love that blond boy

Edit: This was before I read the second book!!!
Screw Tamlin

I am honestly disappointed.
ALSO I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A YOUNG ADULT NOVEL, but the sex and the violence and the toxic relationships (platonic and romantic and sexual) really beg to differ.
I really wanted to like this book, with its beautiful cover and chapter page art, but I was just annoyed in all of the characters throughout the entire thing (I did really like Lucien tho).
The villain was a bit too much of a classical Disney villain.  “HAHA I HAD YOU FOOLED ALL ALONG YOU PITIFUL HUMAN”, she says while twirling her evil moustache.

I really like how some of the violence was written, and believe that the universe and the book itself would have worked a lot better if it didn’t go all in on the “romance”, I am so sorry but are the straights okay??? and went from a Beauty And The Best retelling to a tale of a woman fighting for her life against an evil far overlord.
