Edit (After Calming Down A Year Later)
I would personally give this a 4.5 due to the fantasy politics that were beginning to develop-- it wasn't what I was most interested in. I believe why I liked this book so much is for the same reason why others may dislike this book. I loved the details and descriptions of everything: how Feyre was hunting in the woods, how she observed the beauty of the spring court, the look of Tamlin's skin and body and how it glowed, the description of the events that occurred, etc. I am a big cottagecore, slow-paced, lifestyle kind of girl and if you remove the climax and abuse that came afterwards, the story was beautiful. I wish this was a stand alone book or there were more books that went in detail on the simple things that Feyre was (reluctantly) a part of while in the Spring Court trying to understand everything.

Many of the graphic descriptions or allusions to torture were off putting. I know that was the point, but some of the characters seem to be over the top evil. Maybe Fey are different, but it seemed an unnecessary way to gain what they wanted.
I loved the characters of Tamlin and Lucien. Both are genuinely good men, even if it is misguided at first. But you can tell how they do deeply care for Feyre and their people.
