31 23 54 56 The writing *chefs kiss* I'm zipping through this book it's so addicting I love Sarah j. maas's writing so much I love how everything is so descriptive especially with the creature Feyre was one of my favorite characters they were so brave and not afraid of much even if it was life or death, anything to protect their family "Don't marry Tomas mandray his father beats his wife" "If you ever escape,ever convince them that you've our the debt don't return" I hadn't expected a heart-wrenching good-bye, but I hadn't imagined this,either "You to somewhere new--- and you make a name for yourself Lucien seemed like a dick at first but a part of me likes him, Lucien wants to kill feyre but the beast thinks her life in that hovel was hell enough Prythian "Lucien he could do with someone snapping at him, if you've got the courage for it" The charcter building is so amazing this is such a huge page turner Tamlin holy fuck he's so hott "he was probably handsome if he ever took off that mask" Tamlin seemed super caring especially when feyre mentioned how her mother had been killed "I would have Been gentle with you though I would have you moaning my name throughout it all. And I would have taken a very, very long time,Feyre" When Tamlin kissed feyre I kicked my feet and smiled so big "You're exactly as I dreamed you'd be too" tamlin man I'm shaking Tamlin and feyres romance was so cute especially when feyre was drunk on faerie wine and was dancing and Lucien tried to stop her and tamlin said "Dance feyre " and admired her Will-o'-the-wisps was so amazing also when tamlin and feyre danced with eachother "dance with me feyre" "I'm thinking I might kiss you" he said "Then do it" feyre replied "You're just amarntha's whore" I cried when tamlin informed Feyre she'd have to go home because of Amarntha. The sex scence holy 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 "I love you" he whispered "thorns and all" I'm so in love with this book. I was manifesting for Feyre to save tamlin and for tamlin and her to end up together THE ENDING OH MY GOD Sarah j. Mass you won my heart! I'm so excited to read book 2!

Okay so a friend of mine has been dying for me to read this series so she has someone to talk about them with, and I finally read it while travelling. No joke, this is the best fantasy romance I've read since I was a teen - and the smut is just the right amount (easily skippable if you don't want to read it!). A gorgeous and beautiful book.

It is a really slow read up until half way through. The characters are nit the most likable until near the end. However despite its flaws its a fun read

Where to begin... this was just horrible. Literally a remix of Twilight. I don't get why this is popular. Read something better written, please.
