Ok listen… I didn’t think I would like it imma be honest. Howeva once I got to the plot 👀. I finished the book in 2 days however I’m curious as to why Tamlin is referred to as “tampon” on booktok. I’m scared to read the next one. Although intrigued. Smut not good don’t recommend😐.

So, it took me ages to finish the book, because I was reading it along with the Last Podcast Deep Dives ladies. That kind of took me out of it at times, because I had to read in shorter increments and couldn't go at my own pace. 
I did enjoy the book a lot! It isn't what I usually go for, but the podcast made me curious and I'm glad I checked it out! I will definitely be reading the next book!
Loved the hot and heavy stuff, but also really appreciate how it doesn't go with the stereotypes or puts a twist to them. 
Maas also wasn't afraid to make things ugly for Feyre,

like having her be beaten up with bruteIforce. No magic, justIviolence.
I certainly didn't expect her to die!!! OR GET TURNED INTO A HIGH FAE! I mist admit that I enjoy the relationship between Rhys and Feyre... It feels sensual and forbidden, with him opening up to her. But they also seem like they could develop a deep friendship, especially during her weeks at the Night Court. Very interested in how the sequel will play out. Though I must admit that the whole getting her drunk and making a dance while she's blackout drunk is very questionable of him. On one hand, he did her a favour by making her forget  on the other it's still a cunt move. 
Also interested in the whole geopolitical struggle between the King and the mortal realm. THAT FEYRE ISN'T A PART OF ANYMORE. I hope we get a view into how it feels to be a high fae now. I'd love to be shown the difference it makes and whether Feyre has magical powers now. If so, will they correspond with her personality? The spring court?a little bit of everything, because all the courts worked together to make her high fae?
Can't wait! 
I also assume Nesta will play a bigger part. In general I'm curious to see how her family will respond to her being a faerie now.

Definitely a recommendation if you're into fairytale retellings, dirty action and a hint of lust.
