the world building is so impressive and the SLOW BURN/tension was literally insane, done so incredibly well. rhysand and feyre might be one of the bestttttt fantasy couples. the most DIABOLICAL last 30 pages oh my GOD. ???? jaw drop multiple times (and a giggle at lucien whispering >>that<< HAHAH). i also love how the perspective on t*mlin gets totally flipped and how lucien is such an interesting character. to launch a fantasy series with a love interest who you might think is the main interest but ISN'T IN THE END AND TO TOTALLY MAKE U HATE HIM is still awesome to me (and the right choice when rhys is right there!!!! i love him). i totally get why people love this if i'm being honest, BUT the mating shit sometimes made me giggle!1!!. and also whenever she would describe something as "male". like a "male smile". like what lol?? okay! i still really like the writing and i also prefer the way she writes the risque scenes more elegantly/nicely compared to other books where it's super graphic. it feels super romantic which i enjoy. the recurring metaphor of painting relating to her soul was really cool, too. like they healed each other i...
this clears the first in every way and i absolutely love the velaris squad. defs gonna wait a bit before i continue the series tho bc it is such a task sitting down with such a mammoth of a story (but one that is very much worth it)!!! thanks emily for letting me borrow, sorry for not picking it up until you wanted it back LMAO 😚

Sarah J Maas seems to have named a minor male character Eris, like the greek goddess of discord. Very middle-schooler-one-babyname.com vibes.
Ultimately enjoyable, better written than the first, but still running on romance novel logicâ„¢.
