Pros: Lucien is a ride-or-die fav, he's so witty and reminds me of that enemies to best friends vibe so few characters have with one another. Rhys, while being a tad toxic, was a unpredictable character that added a thrill to under the mountain. The villain was interesting and I enjoyed learning about the lore and other good or evil characters for the worlds.
Cons: Not a fan that most of the romance was borderline abusive or straight up harassment (Rhys LICKING her tears?? Tamlin BITING her neck?? no thanks), Tamlin was the most disinteresting love interest, Feyre was difficult to get behind for the first half of the book, and turning her into High Fae reminded me of Twilight, but instead of waiting 4 books and having arguments with her partner about it, she was just turned without her knowledge or consent. Also not a fan that the plot was kinda giving "can't live without my guy/romantic interest" vibes. Lastly, idk what kinda writing style this was, but it was very repetitive and redundant - if you highlighted your book when the phrases "he (Tamlin) growled", "he (Tamlin or Rhys) gave a lazy smile", Feyre mentioned her newfound love of painting (we get it, you don't hunt so you paint - cool!), random fire being mentioned, or eyes as green as (the forest, grass, emerald jewels, shrek at this point, you name it) - you'd have a very colorful book cause you had to use so many highlighters.
Would recommend to fantasy lovers who know how to get into world building.

This was paced really well too. I noticed a lot of things that I didn’t catch when reading, which was cool too. Listening also made me realize how dark and intense this book was. Hearing it out loud made that really sink in for me and appreciate how much these characters really go through.

🇬🇧: I was a little afraid to start in this book, because it is such a hype with the bookcommunity. The only thing that I can say about that is that that is totally for good reason! I immediately felt bad for feyre and when she met tamlin I immediately fell in love with him and their bond. Every karakter is written in a way that you get an clear image of all of them. The way the book is written is also amazing
I finnished it in 2,5 days (a record for me) and I can't wait to dive in in the other parts of this series. I recommend this book to everyone who loves romantasy with spice. Because the spice that is in this book is really good 🫣
