It's neither as bad nor as good as I've heard people say.

Don't get me wrong, it is bad. It's got terrible pacing, it's horribly repetitive, the main character is thoroughly unlikeable, and the writing itself is poor (odd word choice, run-on sentences, grammatical sloppiness, trope-y refrains...). However, you'd thinking it was the end of literature from how some people talk about it.

All in all, a very mid, unimpressive book, not nearly deserving its huge fanbase, but if you're in the mood for schlocky, "dark" fantasy romance, you'll probably enjoy it.

Tamlin is such a bore. The fact that most of the fae-ness is hidden until about 60% of the way through the book made it a slog. I almost dnf-ed this book for a second time but pushed through with the power of liveblogging my frustrations to a friend. Thankfully the last 15% was actually enjoyable ~~largely because tamlin wasnt in it much~~

The only thing thats carrying me forward into the next book is knowing that

tamlin/feyre isn't endgame

Listening to this because I’ve already read it and these are my spoiler thoughts upon returning to it:

- goofy ahh curse. the terms are so strangely specific and catered to Ferye’s situation that it makes it so implausible that Amarantha came up with all of that 50 years ago. She has to HATE FAIRIES and also KILL ONE with HATE IN HER HEART and then SMOOCH A FAIRY like cmon guys
- SO MANY RHYSAND EASTER EGGS !!!! The random “dreams” and knowing what he did for her and knowing his backstory just like… chefs kiss
- Tamlin is an abuser even in this book, and this is coming from someone who was 10000% team Tamlin the first go round. He has an unpredictable temper and Feyre expects violent outbursts from him even when she’s head over heels for him. Get away from that man!!!
- On the topic of Tamlin…. Maybe he should’ve… I don’t know… HELPED his girlfriend at all?? I get that he was trying to seem “indifferent” but Rhys was playing the same card and he still made the situation better for her. Tamlin be supportive challenge level impossible
- Tamlin is just so icky and I won’t ever be able to go back to my OG view of him after ACOMAF and ACOWAR like he’s just the WORST
- Loving how Tamlin and Lucien are like “Rhysand is so dangerous and violent and you have to stay away from the night court it’s so bad” but I know full well the night court inner circle during Amarantha is just like cutting it up and getting drunk the whole time. Bffr
- Loving that Feyre was like “I can’t wait to live with Tamlin for years and years and years” like she’s not gonna bounce from that man’s house within like 6 months. Good to have goals girl!

I read this book back when it came out. And I loved it. But I was looking for something simple to fall asleep to, something I've already read that won't keep me awake. Something I wasn't interested in that I knew I liked the first time.

But honestly, this book was boring... It is toxic. It's weird. I think it's really unoriginal and predictable. The writing isnt all that great, it's so simple. And I kinda hated that the second time around.
