i enjoyed the last 10% of the book, the rest of it made me want to bang my head continuously into a cinderblock wall. 
i get that she had to set up the world and make the ~love story~ make sense but jesus it was slow.

and the set up with rhysand just feels so out of place in the situations.

this put me in the worst reading slump… i wasnt able to finish anything since i picked this book up in MAY and i had to basically hold myself at gunpoint to finish it. it’s AUGUST.
feyre is illiterate as a plot point but she’s also an idiot. being uneducated and being an imbecile are different things, and she is both.
tamlin is boringgg, and worse, he’s blonde. i cannot bring myself to gaf abt him. blond men are a plague.
amarantha is a drag, she could’ve been a really interesting villain but instead we get these weak little challenges. like…

that riddle was the easiest thing i’ve ever read (and CORNY, especially with it coming from someone who is supposed to be so heartless and wretched…)

☹️
other “villain” is interesting but i have to say…

i know that rhysand is the endgame but jfc chill w the descriptions of his beauty while you’re ~enduring deathly trials bc you are so unbelievably in love~ lmao

🤨🤨🤨
also, the phrase “my bowels turned watery” needs to die a fiery death... why did she say it three times😭😭😭 GIRL now i’m sick to my stomach😭 
whatever, i’ve now read it and i never have to endure it again and i’ll know wtf my friend is talking about when she references it. that’s enough for me  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I honestly did love this book, very little descriptive sex scenes which I enjoyed. The ending was super well written and mostly just felt a little rushed at times. I wish we got to know more about the villain but I also understand it's the first book in a long series. 

My biggest complaints come from when Feyre and Tamlin first start the whole romance things. It felt, underdeveloped. Like he does a few nice things for her and then she's suddenly head over heals for him almost for no reason. She forgives him way to quickly and for someone who was kidnapped, kinda just looks over it and forgives him for VERYRHINF. Lucine is my fav though, and Feyre also forgives him too quickly. 

I enjoyed the ending but the middle and begining where a slight drag.

This book is all about world building and preparing for the second book, it seems. I was hoping for more of what the last 1/4th of the books story showed. It didn’t meet the expectations of what people were telling me about this book. I did like the characters and the descriptions of the world are very detailed. I personally felt it was very cringy for the first half and then gave me what I was expecting for the second.

One of the best books I’ve ever read. Laughed and cried a lot. Can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

The more I think about this book the more I dislike it. I’m surprised this series is as popular as it is considering nothing interesting happened for the first half of the book. 

Also I wasn’t a huge fan of the characters if I’m being honest. Feyre annoyed me quite a bit as I feel like she made a lot of stupid decisions. I know it’s for advancement of the plot but she pissed me off nevertheless.

Would also like to add that the author used the terms “metallic tang” and “bowels turned watery” far too often.
