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.

Honestly... The writing isn't amazing. It's clumsy and a little rushed, and the same could be said about the romance. Descriptions are repetitive. However there are some well thought out moments. Things especially get interesting around the 230 page mark. It's got potential to get better and the story itself isn't horrible.

However, the feather so black series is similar enough and much better written for anyone looking!

I decided to finally read this book and it makes for a fun summer read, particularly the graphic audio. I had not realized how deeply it is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. I enjoyed that the story did become its own work especially towards the end. I enjoyed the characters and felt that SJM wrote a convincing representation of a 19 year old who had a lot on her shoulders. This was a fun read and I do have some criticisms.
The author jumps around with the timeline a lot. Often it felt like some descriptions were given once and then never mentioned again which made it especially hard to go back and revisit details on audio. I was able to figure out the riddle immediately but I still felt satisfaction when my guess was correct.

I went into this knowing that

Tamlin was not the hero

which probably changed my experience. I really enjoyed the worldbuilding and Feyre as a character. I was also instantly excited for Nesta having a storyline of her own since she was so dynamic just in her few scenes.

The Under the Mountain portions were definitely the best but I spent so much of that part thinking “I bet Rhysand is going to end up as some redeemed bad guy, but getting her drunk and touching her is just wrong.”

Sped through this, after so long not reading it.
