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,
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.

I really enjoyed this book and am glad that it is a series. I never read fantasies that much but this book has made me want to dive into more fantasy series. There isn't much about this book that I didn't like, as the descriptions of characters, places, and feelings were so beautifully written you could see it all play out in your head as you read.

The first 4 chapters are slow paced just to set up the story but after that it gradually increases & after those first few chapters, I was fully enthralled. It piqued my curiosity & kept me wanting to know what happens next. The action- it's so stunning that I just couldn't get enough of the serotonin.🫠
Now the plot twists.. this book keeps you on your toes the entire time & then drops the bomb on you, in the BEST WAY POSSIBLE.
I'm in love with SJM's writing cuz the execution and imagery is just outstanding. She's truly an expert at creating such exceptional & contrasting characters & I love 'em. Speaking of love, I'd like to tell all my romance readers out there that: despite being a major fantasy series, it has the most beautiful romance, you'll ever read. MARK MY WORDS
<Spoilers>
<<<<<🔸I love Feyre. She's strong, loyal and also has her own personal issues mainly cuz of her typical fairytale family which is horrible. Her character development was really good.
🔸Tamlin's character is shy, sweet & strong. But compared to all the other characters in the book his felt a bit stiff.
🔸Rhysand- our anti-hero has played the bad-boy role so nicely. By the end of the book I knew that there's going to be a love triangle in the upcoming books.👀 >>>>>
I'm writing this review after reading half of the entire series & that's cuz the ending of this book left me so excited & adrenalized that I just couldn't wait to read other books in the series.
Definitely going to read other books by SJM.🫶🏼
