the writing style is super wordy. sometimes entire paragraphs are just one big run on sentence which was messing with me. and the constant male-female dichotomy language is annoying to me.
the first 10-20 pages is so packed with character intros and world building that it was very overwhelming but once i got through that it did get interesting. i like the overall story. i like the main characters sometimes but i have my issues with them too.
a couple of the big twists were predictable to me, predicted about 100 pages prior to but they were still good.
i’m not personally into the “love conquers all” and “everything happens for a reason” mentalities that come up quite a few times either. Regardless of my personal issues with it though, it was still a pretty entertaining book.

This book is phenomenal and exceeded all of my expectations! I understand the hype around Sarah J Maas now. The world of the book is interesting and feels like no other book I've read. The characters are amazing. This book is dark, but also so funny at times. The main character, Bryce, might be my favorite book character ever. The last 200 or so pages had me in such a grip that I crammed the 800 page book into my carry on for a flight because I could NOT put it down! Amazing book. Cannot recommend it enough.

Spoilerfree review:

Did not know anything about the book before I started it and was pleasantly surprised!

I usually don’t read urban fantasy but I loved the world and all the different magical inhabitants. The book has Fae, witches, demons, vampires, witches and much more. The main character has a strong personality and is pretty cunning. The plot kept me on my toes the whole time, since there was a big mystery to uncover. I think it became a little bit slow around the middle but it picked up again and even had me in tears a few times.

Recommend for all Romantasy fans :)
