i enjoyed the last 10% of the book, the rest of it made me want to bang my head continuously into a cinderblock wall. 
i get that she had to set up the world and make the ~love story~ make sense but jesus it was slow.
and the set up with rhysand just feels so out of place in the situations.
this put me in the worst reading slump… i wasnt able to finish anything since i picked this book up in MAY and i had to basically hold myself at gunpoint to finish it. it’s AUGUST.
feyre is illiterate as a plot point but she’s also an idiot. being uneducated and being an imbecile are different things, and she is both.
tamlin is boringgg, and worse, he’s blonde. i cannot bring myself to gaf abt him. blond men are a plague.
amarantha is a drag, she could’ve been a really interesting villain but instead we get these weak little challenges. like…
that riddle was the easiest thing i’ve ever read (and CORNY, especially with it coming from someone who is supposed to be so heartless and wretched…)
☹️
other “villain” is interesting but i have to say…
i know that rhysand is the endgame but jfc chill w the descriptions of his beauty while you’re ~enduring deathly trials bc you are so unbelievably in love~ lmao
🤨🤨🤨
also, the phrase “my bowels turned watery” needs to die a fiery death... why did she say it three times😭😭😭 GIRL now i’m sick to my stomach😭 
whatever, i’ve now read it and i never have to endure it again and i’ll know wtf my friend is talking about when she references it. that’s enough for me  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

interesting enough to want to keep reading and find out what happens but not enough to rave about it

A beautifully written page-turner. I couldn’t finish it fast enough.
