I was worried going into this book, with all the hype around it. But the hype is definitely deserved, I saw lots of people reviewing saying it was slow, but I didn’t find that at all. 

By half way I was absolutely hooked and couldn’t put it down! I even went to buy the second one so I could start it straight after! 

Sarah J Maas is a genius, her worldbuilding is incredible, characters are so loveable and absolutely gorgeous. The the way the plot comes together at the end is very clever and I didn’t at all predict it (which I usually can)

The bonds of the characters are so cute, Feyre with Tamlin, and Lucien for example. 

Overall I loved this book and all the characters, on to the next one! Starting right now …📚🧚‍♂️😅

I totally get the hype. I also get why people say this is loosely based on beauty and the beast, but I kinda loved that.

I really did not like the main character of this book. I got all the way to the end of it and I still think she's absolutely awful. I get that she was supposed to be redeemed but I don't feel like the author made that case.
I don't think the romance was very believable or supported by the story. All in all this is a big fail for me. I did appreciate the descriptions that the author included and even the world that she built I just don't think she can write characters very well because I could not understand their motivations even after the mystery of the book was solved It still didn't really make any sense that her main character would make the decisions she did.

I realize that this series is incredibly popular and that people really enjoy it I am just not one of those people.
