This was my third time reading this book, and it honestly gets better and better each time. 

I won’t get into any of the plot, because I imagine most people are aware of it, and I don’t want to give any spoilers for those that may not have read this series, but I honestly think this book is the best in the series!

In this book, we really see Feyre become her own person, and not who she had to be for her family, for Tamlin, for the Spring Court. Seeing her become her true self and find her home in the Night Court is honestly one of my favourite parts of this book. 

I, like pretty much everyone, absolutely adore Rhys and the Inner Circle! I love that Sarah J. Maas lures you into a false sense of security, making you believe that you know who are the good guys and the bad guys at the end of book one, and then just completely ruined it, in the best way!

Overall, I love this book, it’s incredible!

dark tense fast-paced

2.0

While the story is good, I would not recommend this to anyone with sexual trauma or an abusive person in their life as this book will likely be very upsetting. Trigger warning: explicit sex scenes (several that can be skipped), abuse, torture, returning to abuser, sex work, assault is hinted at, PTSD, violence

I have now reread this and I almost want to drop my rating lower? This was maybe a hate read for me IM SORRY. I just keep seeing references to this series online and I feel left out 😩 

Sarah J. Maas crafts a story that is interesting enough and set up in a way that I always wanted to know what happened next. However I just wish it was told by… someone else. We all collectively agree that these books are not well written, right? Like from a factual standpoint??? Here are the top things that irritated me while reading:

1. Weird phrases and metaphors. We all know the water bowels from book one but in this book you get “I tried not to bleat like cattle” … like moo? Was she about to moo?????

2. Repetition. I get it’s a long book and there are only so many ways to say things but then maybe… some things don’t need to be said? The word “indeed” must have been said 100 times in this book. And Rhys doing feline things. And prick and vulgar gesture. We get it Feyre is ~feisty~ 

3. The dialogue and relationships. Personally I find it really uncomfortable when in books the character start acting too familiar with each other right off the bat. Whether it’s asking invasive questions or Feyre/Nesta bitching people out instantly or cassian/rhys spewing sexual innuendos (or would it not be considered and innuendo if they are blatant and blunt? Like Rhys talking about licking Feyre 🤢) or even Mor being immediately cheerful and loving towards Feyre. Let these relationships DEVELOP before saying all this crazy shit!!!

4. The horniness!! My god. I will admit I’m not a huge ~spice~ girly but I can dig it if it is meaningful. Like maybe the painty sexy scene could stay. But all the thirsting after each other and gross flirting and the THRONE SCENE (seriously why they needed to do that for ‘appearances sake’ is beyond me). And then them having sex like 50 times in a two chapter span. it wasn’t necessary to the story. Knock out a few steamy scenes fine but it was like (paraphrasing) “we had dinner with friends then he fucked me at the table. We took a bath and he fucked me in the bath. We went to bed and fucked 4 times before dawn.” SETTLE DOWN. 

5. a lot of the things that people did wrong (how Rhys treated Feyre under the mountain) were explained away in kind of bs ways. Like the author maybe didn’t plan the justification before the person did the bad thing. Does that make sense? Who knows I am also not a great writer

6. Feyre is just kind of annoying. And like… unremarkable. I found it hard to sympathize for her. And why everyone loves her so much has me like ???

SORRY FOR THE RANT the bottom line: was I entertained? Yes. The plot and the setting was interesting. The characters were fun if a bit unrealistic. I did find it hard to follow at times but that could be me just not giving it my full attention or not remembering details well. 

BUT I do understand the memes now so for that, I am grateful. We do it for the FOMO 🙇‍♀️

This book was phenomenal. From the character arcs to plunging plot twists, this book was nothing less than a roller coaster of emotions. Firstly, I personally enjoyed Feyre’s character development and healing a lot more in this book than the second. Second of all, this is not a romance, primarily(at least in my opinion). This is a political fantasy (a very well-done one too), with wars betrayals, politics of relations between Courts and division between them, everything was full of action and drama. I will say I have predicted quite a lot of the plot, yet it was still very enjoyable and exciting! This was a great build-off from the previous book, and I can’t wait to see how the author evolves the story in the next one!
