The first half of the book was a bit slow for me, but the second half picked up, and I enjoyed the ending. Some characters I have mixed feelings about, so it will be interesting to see how they develop in the next books, to see which way my feelings solidify.
SJM writing was overall decent. I did get a little annoyed with the ways she tended to describe Feyres feelings or reactions to things. Such as “my bowels turned watery” and various forms of that. But it can be overlooked 🤷🏻‍♀️
Overall, it didn’t live up to the hype that I expected it to, but it wasn’t terrible. It was still a fun read, and I plan to read the next one soon!

It's not a bad book, but it's not the best book. If you want a romance in a fantasy setting, this is great. But personally the story feels flawed and a little stereotypical.

This fits well into the fantasy category. It really did keep me coming back to see what happens. I felt like the ending was a bit rushed; there was a lot of explanation in the first half then it seemed to rush into the next portion. There are quite a few characters to keep track of. Pretty good read!

I loved that this book was fast paced and a lot of things tied together but here are some additional thoughts:

-Why is Feyre literally so stubborn?
-Why does it give off twilight meets hunger games meets mazerunner?
-I hated the Fire Night scene
-The riddle was corny
-Why were there no cliffhangers or anything making me want to move on to the other books???

I plan on continuing the series and I’m hoping it gets better.
