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!

The audiobook was well produced. Someone else said it was Beauty and the Beast x Twilight and I couldn’t have said it better (I think others have said the BATB adaptation was intentional). I think I’ll read the second one which I’ve heard is the best, but right now I’m not sure I’ll get through the whole series.

The characters are well-rounded, especially Feyre. However, there are a couple of plot inaccuracies
Nonetheless, this was one of the best books I've read. I can't wait to read the rest of the series - I hope they're as good as this one!
