Tamlin is Howl from Howl’s moving castle. I feel like this is gonna turn in to a love triangle and that’s rough because a. Tamlin is great, he’s a protector and believes in her and supports her and I like him a lot. And b. I’m monogamous and do not support cheating in anyway and for this to become a love triangle with Rhys something sad would have to happen.
Rhys is great too, and I like enemies to lovers tropes so them together would probably be more interesting. If she chooses him won’t the love of this book be for naught? She does everything out of love for Tamlin.

This was a SLOW book, which I thought I was prepared for but turns out I wasn’t.
Unfortunately, I am a little (or a lot) late to the game with ACOTAR and a few things have already spoiled for me. So… I think that affected my judgment when it comes to Feyre and Tamlin (and how much I can’t stand them together even though I really have no reason to feel that way… yet).
The overall story, when I look at it as a whole, had a lot of cool and exciting elements to it. I think the execution could have been better but it wasn’t terrible.
I just keep telling myself - THE NEXT ONE WILL BE BETTER.
Don’t let me down, Feyre. You better become the badass FMC that I know you can be.

I got physically mad by the time I finished reading this book. The amount of emotional whiplash it gave me by the end was enough to make me vibrate, have a racing heart, and feel like I wanted to chuck the book against the wall. The first two-thirds of the book was spent being fairly bored with the book and even struggling to get through it a bit (even though I'd been warned all over the internet that it could be a bit of a slog), but by the last 200 pages or so I was hooked and on the edge of my seat.
Feyre's stubbornness and inability to make decisions that seemed to make rational sense,along with the hot and cold start to her and Tamlin's relationship , was mildly offputting and prevented me from getting into any kind of consistent flow. It lulled me into a sense of boredom that got 180'd into edge-of-my-seat reading within just a few chapters that didn't release me until I finished the book. I loved Amarantha as a villain; I thought everything about her was incredibly well done, from the way she acted to her visual description perfectly showing her as a cold and cruel beauty who loved torture . I also loved Rhysand as a character (despite everything he did to Feyre in this book) and can't wait to read more about him . I guess I'm gonna have to go and get the second book asap, dang.
