I liked this so much more than the first book in the series. The descriptions of the Night Court are absolutely beautiful and makes me wish it was a real place to see. The main character Feyre feels much less self insert in this, and is dealing with the events from the first book in a very real way. The slow burn was just the right speed for the situation between her and Rhys, and the way he respects and treats her gives me the warm fuzzies. The depth of world building author Sarah does in this helps make the world more believable. Feyre keeps her kind disposition while still growing in her new life. I am actually looking forward to picking up the next one. I do have to say, for a book series known as spicy🌶️, the smutty scenes are fairly tame in this one.

 The fact that I swore I would never read this series and yet here we are rating this 5 stars?!? This was perfection. I havent been this engrossed I'm anything since twilight, which was a long long time ago 😅

Also, excuse me but Rhys??? I knew that booksta and booktok was obsessed but I stupidly thought they were exaggerating. They weren't. Rhys is literally E V E R Y T H I N G and im here for it.

found Feyre a much more barrable character in this book. Her jello spine eventually became steel and she got some of her sh*t together. Rhysand was delightful in the last book and I loved all the “screen time” he got in this book. As with any book by Sarah, you will be endlessly blue-balled. Her sex scenes are more explicit than usual but everyone freaking out that teens shouldn’t be reading this, obviously forgot a lot of people start masturbating in middle school and f*cking in high school. If it’s not your thing though just skip ahead.

Was not expecting to like this as much as I did. The characterization of one character in particular

(Tamlin)

dramatically changes from the first book. I think the second and third books in this series work very well together but are sort of disconnected from the first book.

If there had been bigger red flags with Tamlin in the first book or moments where the mask slipped a bit him turning into an abusive prick would have made more sense. Book 1 Tamlin and Book 2 + 3 Tamlin are very different characters and makes the first book feel disconnected. I like book 1 on it’s own and I like books 2 and 3 together but when you put the whole series together the jump between 1 and 2 doesn’t really make sense.

Besides that I enjoyed the books if you can pretend

Tamiln was showing more signs of being abusive in the first book and accept that you aren’t really going to see his character develop in that direction

then it’s pretty good.

The only exciting part of this book was picking out what Maas stole from the Black Jewels series.
