Feyre trifft nie eigene Entscheidungen, sondern die Geschichte wird von Ereignissen getrieben, sie ist eine passive Person. Sie monologisiert in ihrem Kopf ohne Ende und schafft es immer wieder, dass sich am Ende alles um sie dreht..
Sarah hatte die Chance eine spannende magisch mystische Welt zu erschaffen, doch das Worldbuilding ist inkohärent und unvollständig. Die Strukturen der Höfe werden nur oberflächlich beschrieben und haben wenig Logik. Es wirkt als wären die magischen Regeln der Welt beliebig, um die Handlung in eine bestimmte Richtung zu lenken (statt sie organisch wachsen zu lassen)
Ich hätte abbrechen sollen, als ich die Chance dazu hatte. Die Männer in diesen Büchern sind nur heiß und das entschuldigt anscheinend die Übergriffe und normalisiert/ romantisiert das agressive Verhalten gegenüber Feyre und wird als "Leidenschaft" dargestellt.
And what do you mean she is a 19-years looking immortal?? Das ist so widerlich, ihr "lover" sieht Mitte Ende 20 aus... stop normalizing this omg.
Die Reihe hat absolut nicht sein Potential ausgeschöpft. Man hätte soviel Möglichkeiten gehabt, ohne toxische Beziehungsmuster, problematische Romantisierung und schwache Schreibweise. Interessante Idee, schlecht umgesetzt.

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

I’ve ventured into another fantasy world, which I never thought I’d do again!
This books follows Feyre as she hunts for food in the woods for her family. Except she kills a High Fae’s deer which leads to her becoming kidnapped by them as part of her punishment. Feyre lived with her sisters, Nesta and Elain and their father. When Feyre is taken to the new lands, we are introduced to Tamlin, Lucien and Rhysand. Feyre and Tamlin strike up a relationship at this point but will not say that she loves him. We are also introduced to Alis around this time too. Soon after, Tamlin and Lucien tell Feyre to run and not look back, so she goes home. However, she returns home to find that their neighbour Clare’s house was burned down and she realises that it is her fault that this has happened. So she leaves home again, and returns back to Tamlin/Lucien.
Upon entering the world again, she soon finds that Tamlin and Lucien are nowhere to be seen, but she does speak to Alis who tells her where Tamlin and Lucien are. Feyre then decides to go and find Tamlin as she’s told that he was taken by Amarantha because Feyre did not declare her love to him before she left. Feyre was put before Amarantha and this is when she saw Clare’s dead mutilated body, but also saw Tamlin sitting alongside Amarantha in his own throne but making a conscious effort to not react to anything Feyre says or does.
Feyre is told that she is to complete 3 tasks in order to release Tamlin from her spell, but she was not told how easy or how hard these tasks would be. Feyre goes on to smash all 3 tasks, the 3rd one being the most horrible of the tasks, and this in turn means Tamlin is released from under Amarantha’s spell and Amarantha herself is killed.
This book was a little slow to get into but I did love it once I got into it, hence the 4 star rating!
Do recommend!
