Some of the word choices and descriptions were a bit immature and YA, but not too distracting that it ruined the read. Just a lil cringe at times. The world and creature building was fantastic.
I recommended to my boyfriend who is much more well-versed in fantasy stories, which says a lot in my opinion.

The MC is incredibly bland and at first none of the plot or relationships made any sense. I had a LOT of eye rolling and it wasn't until the end that I realized that MC is bland for a REASON. Having a blank canvas character allows the reader to project themselves into the story more easily...which is probably why people like it so much. Yearning, romance, sex - its all much more fun when you can imagine your self as the recipient.
And for that the book did its job. Its a wonderful YA y/n self insert self indulgent book. The spice level is pretty low - the 1.5 scenes were short, laced with metaphors and not particularly racy. But I come from the land AO3.
The plot was kind of weird, especially the last third with the trials. It seems the second and third books are better BUT i will not be reading them because there are more compelling love stories with muh better sex, slow burn and enemies to lovers.

I will say that I had a lot of people recommend this series, stating that the smut in it was great and it would be "a nice spice to your marriage" but as I read through it, I felt that yeah, I guess the spice was nice...but it wasn't fantastic. I've read spicier books that were more exciting. So I'm definitely reading this book for the romance/plot, not the smut.

Annoying point of the plot:
Also not a fan of the Beauty and the Beast style Stockholm syndrome.

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.
