This series has been sitting on my shelf for a while and I’ve been too intimidated to start it (until a read along came by 😂). There are so many fans out there and I don’t always like the popular book but this was a pretty good start ✨

For:
-enemies to lovers
-beauty and the beast fantasy retelling
-magic and easy world building
-with a bunch of action (and some gore)
-has its main focus on the romance of the story
read it. ✨

It’s a great introduction into fantasy without having to focus on the world building or characters to understand it. You feel almost compelled to continue reading even though there isn’t much happening. The last few chapters were the best - with challenges and trials and hope.

I have to say Feyre irritated me a bit 😂 I felt exhausted at her trying to fight literally everything, even though I understood why. I do love that she becomes a bit more relaxed and human and we get to see how she views the world and lets out her emotion - through painting.

Though there’s some dubious actions from the males in this series 👀 so check any warnings before reading.

Overall, I loved it and I might just become an ACOTAR fan as I continue this journey 💕

Slow start, didn't fully pull me into it until about half way into it. But its worth the slow start.

Beauty and the Beast Fanfiction. 
I don't like any of the characters. 
Too fast moving, not enough character building to understand their behavior.

While I enjoyed the world building in the first half, I just really didn’t like or feel a connection to the main characters. The graphic violence was excessive (maybe a matter of taste but I skimmed several passages). 

 I found myself waiting the whole time to finally connect with the story. I never really did! The plot just didn’t track for me, the logic of the treaties and curses felt weak.

Feyre is reckless and fickle and just…unlikeable? I clearly just did not like this book 😅

I liked the story i just couldn’t handle how dumb the MC was being in the beginning so i switch to the audio book to get around that part. I’m glad i listened to the audio book as this is a very descriptive book and - even when listening - i got a little lost in what was going on by how much description was going on. but the story itself is really good, definitely ramps up near the end, which makes sense given it’s a series (i don’t usually read series books). I grew to like the MC although I still think she’s a little slow (could be argued as stubbornness instead, i haven’t quite yet decided). 

but the plots great, story building is great and weird thing to pick up on but the names of the characters are great too. Gonna listen to the next audio book in the series soon!

Also Jennifer Ikeda is a great narrator! Her at x1.35 speed was the perfect reading pace for me!!
