Don't get me wrong, it is bad. It's got terrible pacing, it's horribly repetitive, the main character is thoroughly unlikeable, and the writing itself is poor (odd word choice, run-on sentences, grammatical sloppiness, trope-y refrains...). However, you'd thinking it was the end of literature from how some people talk about it.
All in all, a very mid, unimpressive book, not nearly deserving its huge fanbase, but if you're in the mood for schlocky, "dark" fantasy romance, you'll probably enjoy it.

- SO MANY RHYSAND EASTER EGGS !!!! The random “dreams” and knowing what he did for her and knowing his backstory just like… chefs kiss
- Tamlin is an abuser even in this book, and this is coming from someone who was 10000% team Tamlin the first go round. He has an unpredictable temper and Feyre expects violent outbursts from him even when she’s head over heels for him. Get away from that man!!!
- On the topic of Tamlin…. Maybe he should’ve… I don’t know… HELPED his girlfriend at all?? I get that he was trying to seem “indifferent” but Rhys was playing the same card and he still made the situation better for her. Tamlin be supportive challenge level impossible
- Tamlin is just so icky and I won’t ever be able to go back to my OG view of him after ACOMAF and ACOWAR like he’s just the WORST
- Loving how Tamlin and Lucien are like “Rhysand is so dangerous and violent and you have to stay away from the night court it’s so bad” but I know full well the night court inner circle during Amarantha is just like cutting it up and getting drunk the whole time. Bffr
- Loving that Feyre was like “I can’t wait to live with Tamlin for years and years and years” like she’s not gonna bounce from that man’s house within like 6 months. Good to have goals girl!

To the people who claim the statement about Stephen king’s fairy tale - you are wrong. So so so very wrong.
The tale has so many beauty and the beast elements that I thought had interesting twists. But making Feyre illiterate felt really unnecessary and such an odd choice. I don’t think they needed to author needed to go that far to make Feyre not Belle. It would have been enough to just make Feyre into painting over reading. That was more than enough. I didn’t really care for Feyre much. There would be side characters felt more consistent and were more interesting. Feyre’s overall character is very inconsistent. She will say one thing and later on say something or do something that contradicts an earlier stated belief. She felt shallow and very one dimensional to me.
Will I continue with the series? Possibly, but not any time soon. Would I recommend this series to someone else? Sure, as far as fantasy or romantacy books go this one is fine, if a little mediocre and weak in parts.
