1. I didn’t like that Feyre is such a “not like other girls” girl (god I wish fantasy as a whole would retire this tired trope).
2. The romance made absolutely no sense to me, and I’ve been told that it is explained in the next books and begins to make more sense, but considering that it’s marketed as a fantasy romance and that’s what I was expecting to get, it was just a let down. I genuinely could not tell who Feyre’s love interest was supposed to be until
3. The writing style was so… disjointed. I think because it’s written as YA but with random sex and violence and gore thrown in to make it more “adult”.

If you’re reading this book/series for the first time, be careful of spoilers! So much of it got ruined for me from reviews and posts! (Including spoilers for future books in reviews of this one.) The second book in this series seems to be most readers’ favorite (including mine!) so if you’re on the fence about continuing the series after this one, do it!
This was the series that sparked my love for fantasy. I had read Harry Potter and loved it, but as an adult, hadn’t read much of it. I’m now reading it for a second time through and picking up so many details I didn’t realize mattered before.

I really enjoyed this book and am glad that it is a series. I never read fantasies that much but this book has made me want to dive into more fantasy series. There isn't much about this book that I didn't like, as the descriptions of characters, places, and feelings were so beautifully written you could see it all play out in your head as you read.
