Erstmal auf Deutsch:
Nachdem eine Freundin seit mehr als einem Jahr versucht hat, mich davon zu überzeugen, diese Reihe zu lesen, habe ich mich endlich überzeugen lassen. 
Es gab ein paar Kleinigkeiten, die mich gestört haben, 

z. B. Habe ich die Anziehung zwischen Tamlin und Feyre nicht sonderlich gespürt

aber der Erzählstil hat mir gut gefallen und jetzt, da ich auch den nächsten Teil gelesen habe, kann ich bestätigen, dass dieser Band mehr wie eine lange Einleitung zum Rest der Reihe ist. 

Now for the English readers: I picked this up from a friend after she tried to persuade me for over a year to read it. 
There were some things I didn't like very much,

e. G. That there was no atmosphere between Tamlin and Feyre and how whiny she was in the beginning even though she is supposed to be a huntress

. 
But I liked Maas's writing style and after reading the second book I can confirm that this is mostly a really long introduction to the real series, but it's worth it.

I’ve owned the whole series for over a year now, but I never read them until now I’ve heard such good things about it on BookTok, maybe I was just afraid to be disappointed. I was not. 

I’ve heard a few things about the characters, so I was surprised that I disliked Rhys up until the last few chapters, and I greatly enjoyed Tamlin. There is a slight ‘Beauty and the Beast’ aspect, in the hidden curse, but this is so much darker and sexier than that story could ever be. Torture, death, loss, challenges, sacrifices, this book has it all.
