A big chunk of the book is very slow paced but damn that ending those last few chapters were just so good. I was unable to put the book down!
I also like the way that it didn't really end on a cliff hanger like most series do. So if you aren't a person that enjoys reading series you can still read this book and be content with that as an ending for the story as a whole.

The first chapter specifically was so amazingly written it felt like I was in the book. I loved the ending, it was a little predictable just because I found this book from TikTok and everyone talks about it. But still, it didn’t stop me from loving it. I think the main thing that stopped me from giving it 5 stars would be the love interest part. Ultimately the entire book focused on it and even though it was there, and I was rooting for them, it seemed a little bland, almost forced. The big romance moments, the realizations, the parts that made me swoon, were mostly from the characters thoughts and internal monologue. I would have loved to read something physical about it, something more. Honestly that probably made no sense but I want more reasoning as to why these love interests are what they are in the first place.

This book is really bad. As for why it's bad, just read a few 1* reviews.
✧ Whenever Maas tries to express emotion, the characters start growling, gritting their teeth, or throwing up.
✧ The pacing is really bad. Up until around 2/3 of the book, Feyre (the MC) doesn't do anything other than staying at home and flirting with the male leads.
✧ The prose sucks.
✧ The morality (re: rape, slavery, imprisonment, complicity) is very fishy.
✧ The male leads are boring and two dimensional.
Do not recommend.
