Tamlin and Feyre, and Lucien and Feyre, believably grow closer over the duration of the book. The second half of the book is by far better written and more intriguing. I appreciate the fairytale-retelling themes coming though, but the brutality of some scenes throughout the first half of the book was really jarring.
Overall, I think I’ll just have to read the next book and see where the story takes me

That being said, I couldn’t put it down. I found myself rooting for Feyre, despite her idiocy. The plot is wholly unoriginal for 2/3rds of this book, but once it took off, it really got going. Sure, I’ve probably read similar plots a hundred times before in books and fanfiction, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a lot of fun. Sure, the dialogue was flat and much of the writing cliche and cringe. But that’s the charm.
Was it good? No.
Will I read all the others? Yes.

By Sarah J Maas
5⭐️
This book was so much more than I could have ever imagined! It is definitely a 5 star read that every fantasy lover should read! I really think this would even be a great fantasy starter book for those that want to see if they might like fantasy.
Feyre, a human, finds herself forced from the human lands to the lands of the Fae. She is stubborn, strong, and very capable for a human. However, as she enters the lands of the Fae she meets members of the fae that are unlike anything we could imagine. Their physical characteristics and personalities are so well crafted by the author that you almost forget that you are reading. The story holds you in its grip the entire way through the book!
I am super excited to start the next book in the series. This is my first book by Sarah J Maas and I can already tell she’ll be one of my favorite authors!
