Honestly, when I first started this series I wasn't sure I'd like it but I was happily proven wrong in the 2nd book. Waiting my turn to check out this book from the library was a nightmare but it was well worth it. I could hardly put it down as I wanted to learn more about the Court of Dreams and the little family that ran it. My concern for the characters and the dangers they were facing also spurred my desire to just devour this book. 

I find the writing very easy to just fall into to, it just pulls me into the books world. The sex scenes seem a bit weird sometimes, I don't get some of the wording used. Google tells me that other people have the same opinion so its not an ace thing. The writing is solid when it comes to character voices, I feel like I can see each of their distinct personalities shinning through. The characters themselves are easy to fall in love with, and I've added a few others to my list of favorites. There are so many new characters that get introduced in this book that its a bit hard to keep track of them all.

Overall, it was a fun read and I'm glad I gave the series a chance.

This book while most accurately is described as fairy porn, it’s actually just a perfect book

This is my 2nd favorite book of the series. I am a huge fan of feyre and her destruction of the spring court. Burn it all to the ground baby. Did not think it was possible to fall harder for rhysand. The political intrigue in the book is intriguing not angsty. The battles epic and realistic reactions to experiencing such things. I love the built family and the support they all have for one another.
