I absolutely loved the start to this series. I’ve been putting off reading this for so long because it’s so hyped up but I absolutely loved it. I don’t understand how people call this book spicy, to me there is very little spice but hopefully that improves as the series goes on..

2/5 First half of the Book was slow. 
Put it down a cupple of times because I was anoyed by Feyra.

4,5/5 Second half of the book was more interesting. Couldn‘t stop reading and listening for the last 30% of the Book.

Feyre is a little bit of a pick me but we love her for that. Lucien is my little angel and I would kill for him, the rat bastard. 

Some of the word choices and descriptions were a bit immature and YA, but not too distracting that it ruined the read. Just a lil cringe at times. The world and creature building was fantastic. 

I recommended to my boyfriend who is much more well-versed in fantasy stories, which says a lot in my opinion.

the main character had no personality, the main couple no development they just suddenly were in love for no reason, the first half of the book is a bunch of just nothing happening and what dies actually happen plot-wise so incredibly cliche, fast, and unserious that I struggled to finish it out of sheer frustration it was BAD. it is also a book with awful gender essentialism which was… so weird.

This is a very mixed review - I started it as a hate read, so I could properly roast it. But I wound up devouring the book, really. It is essentially beauty and the beast meets twilight, with a double scoop of toxic relationships on top. 

The MC is incredibly bland and at first none of the plot or relationships made any sense. I had a LOT of eye rolling and it wasn't until the end that I realized that MC is bland for a REASON. Having  a blank canvas character allows the reader to project themselves into the story more easily...which is probably why people like it so much. Yearning, romance, sex - its all much more fun when you can imagine your self as the recipient. 

And for that the book did its job. Its a wonderful YA y/n self insert self indulgent book. The spice level is pretty low - the 1.5 scenes were short, laced with metaphors and not particularly racy. But I come from the land AO3. 

The plot was kind of weird, especially the last third with the trials. It seems the second and third books are better BUT i will not be reading them because there are more compelling love stories with muh better sex, slow burn and enemies to lovers.
