The first half of the book was a little bit slow for me, but I loved Lucian from the start, I like Feyrs as the main character. I like the second half of the book a lot more, in the second half I grew more font of Rhys I think Amarantha is a good villain. Like I said the second half of the book was way better and I am glad that I didn't DNF it, and gave it a chance...

It's a wonderful introduction to the world of Prynith through Feyre's eyes! It's thrilling, unlike anything you will ever read.

This book was fine. It honestly felt pretty bland as far as the plot and characters went. The ending with Feyre under the mountain was pretty interesting though! I just had a hard time connecting to and rooting for Feyre, she isn’t the most likable character. We’ll see how I like the rest of the series.

RE-READ 
I forgot how utterly boring this is until Under the Mountain. If it weren't for that, this would be getting a MUCH lower rating. I actually skimmed or fully skipped some chapters this time around because nothing of use was happening.

I want to get this series finished before the end of the year, and I really hope this is the worst book.

**Spolier** Interesting retelling of Beauty and the Beast and then some. **/Spoiler** Certain passages were especially gruesome, see content warnings.

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
