A lot of inconsistencies.
For example: Tam calls Feyre „You“, she things he can‘t remember her name. A few sentence after he calls her Feyre, she don’t comment on it. A few sentence after he calls her Feyre again, and now she comments on ist that he know her name…. Yes, Girl, he die that a Minute ago also.
That small, bit wh hen there is stuff like this again and again it become really annoying.

It’s okay but I don’t get the buzz. It was just so many awful things happening over and over. Didn’t really buy into the motivations of the FMC. Will keep going with the series but was very meh as a book to me

The first half of the book was a bit slow for me, but the second half picked up, and I enjoyed the ending. Some characters I have mixed feelings about, so it will be interesting to see how they develop in the next books, to see which way my feelings solidify.
SJM writing was overall decent. I did get a little annoyed with the ways she tended to describe Feyres feelings or reactions to things. Such as “my bowels turned watery” and various forms of that. But it can be overlooked 🤷🏻‍♀️
Overall, it didn’t live up to the hype that I expected it to, but it wasn’t terrible. It was still a fun read, and I plan to read the next one soon!

I wasn't as invested in this book as I originally thought I would be. The beginning half of the book is nothing special and filled with very little to me.
I like the character interactions nonetheless and they feel genuine though and that's what kept me going.

I can't say I'm hooked but other people have mentioned that the first in the series is a little hard to get through so I'll at least follow through until the next book which people say is the best of the series. Maybe I'm just as interested in this protagonist? Maybe the book was too overhyped on tiktok?

I'll see what the next book has in store for me and if it's good, I'll come back to edit my comment on this one.

(Maybe the audiobook is easier to listen to? I love crescent cities audiobooks very much!!)
-----------
And so I have come back! I love and adore the next book in the series. It definitely picks up the story and was worth it to read the first one in its entirety. There's so much going on and in this book so much is revealed. I adore this world and I recommend everyone to push through to the next!
