4.0

In some regards it feels like a fanfiction, but at these times its more funny and self-aware rather than cringe. I especeially remmeber a scene where the protagonist is asked about her previous love-life very early in the book. While it makes somewhat sense later it still felt very unnatural. The book also has some nice plot-twists and despite me not taking a liking to neither the protagonist nor the male-lead I found some other charatcers quite intruging and likely will be the reason I continue with the other books in the series.

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 was…fine. A story full of tropes and stolen ideas. I cannot for the life of me understand all the hype. The sex wasn’t even fun. 

Like is no one going to talk about how this is just Beauty and the Beast?
