I put off reading this for so long and I wished I hadn’t! I was hooked from the minute I opened the book to the very last word. I had never read fantasy before and wasn’t sure if I’d like it, but it’s one of the best books I’ve ever read and im immediately reading the next!

I love Lucien first off, best character of the entire series. The sass and the red hair is just a plus. He’s so selfless. I love him way too much. And I love Rhysand , he’s sassy and brutally honest. Plus he sounds incredibly hot. Tamlin is great ofc, love that blond boy

Edit: This was before I read the second book!!!

Screw Tamlin

Delightful escapism. Feyre can be annoying but I would be too if I had two hot faeries after me. 10/10.

WOW. My first attempt at reading fantasy after several years and I devoured this book. Very gruesome, but captivating. I’m looking forward to finding out whether the next books in these series are even better. One thing which bothered me was the riddle with an (imo) obvious answer. Might have saved many injuries and lives…
