I don’t read fantasy too much so all the faerie stuff was very unusual for me, but I still enjoyed reading the book, although it felt quite silly to explain the plot to other people.

This book was a rollercoaster of emotions and was very hard to put down by the end. Each character had something to offer and I could never quite decide which one was my favorite. The writing was beautiful, though sometimes a bit over-descriptive, and I could really get a sense of what Feyre was feeling.
Still, there were a couple of things that prevented this from being a 5-star review. While the male characters were amazing, a majority of the female characters, including Feyre, were kind of lacking in personality. Sure, Feyre has her badass moments. But her personality doesn’t revolve around much more that family, Tamlin, and painting. There was also very little diversity in all regards.
Another small thing that bothered me were the plot twists. There was foreshadowing, but so subtle that it’s like the author didn’t even want the reader to figure it out. A lot of the satisfaction I get from plot twists comes from those facepalm moments, or realizing that I was right all along. Yet the plot twists in ACOTAR just made me feel cheated.
Regardless, I did really enjoy this book and am looking forward to next ones. As I mentioned before, it’s not like I read this book for plot. The things that bothered me are insignificant compared to how hot the characters and writing are.
