I maintain I just cannot understand why this woman is obsessed with the phrase "gobbling down" as in, eagerly taking in the details of something. It makes me think the whole cast are, like, turkeys or something. Wild.

I liked book 2 MUCH more than book 1, there are aspects of this book I wish were less rigid. Also I basically cringe everytime they say “female”

I think that the heteronormative system that sjm establishes just really got in the way of me enjoying the book. I didn’t really expect it in a fae setting (why establish sexism in a world you made up if you’re not going to engage with it critically??) Also it feels a little weird to me that sjm portrays the fae as a relatively sexually liberated society, yet “whore” carries such weight as an insult. Again, it could be interesting if she engages with it critically but it just seems a little shallow as is. Having read two of the books now, the books are really starting to lack tension/stakes for me. Everything always goes right for Feyre and none of the relationships have any chance to build (there’s potential for more tension in the relationships, but the potential is ultimately wasted). Any “tension” is based on silly miscommunications which honestly made me dislike the characters more. I’m begging sjm to let her characters have flaws!! Like how are they all perfect? It’s boring!

some of the dialogue is cringe but overall easily digestible. if i didn’t mentally replace “mate” with soulmate/partner/wife/etc i wouldn’t have been able to finish. idk why but that is a major ick for me. there’s also a LOT of

convenience to excuse behavior, maybe would have liked for more character development and accountability
