This book takes the characters and story in an interesting direction as compared to the first book.  I liked this one so much better!  Feyre grows so much, Rhysand is captivating, and we get to meet more characters.  The romance is actually interesting and doesn't fall flat.  The world also opens up more in this book.  I'm so glad I kept going with this series.

I think this is the best book in the series. I'm glad Feyre finally came to her senses about Tamlin.

adventurous dark emotional funny tense medium-paced

4.75

My heart was not prepared for the emotional rollercoaster that was this book. I never wanted it to be over, but couldn't stop reading it. 
The found family, the love, the respect, the friendship!!! How empowering it is, the way Feyre grows and finds strength in herself!! It seriously took away any complaints I had about the first book. 
The plot was fantastic, a bit predictable at parts, but that didn't take away from it a single bit. The characters are amazing and add so much to the story. So much backstory, so many stories I would love to read and know everything about! 
I will be immediately starting the next one because I cannot wait to see what happens next.

I think I enjoyed this book a lot more than the first book in this series. This one definitely left me wanting to continue the series a lot more. I love all the little twists the plot took, some of which I didn't see coming. I also loved the new characters that were introduced in this book!
I can't wait to start the next one!
