It already seems like this series is going to be dragged out I fear. Also why does she describe every noise as a hiss? The dress hissed on the floor, someone hisses in pain… every thing is hissing. Please find a new word for the love of god. Also if you listen to the audiobooks they change the pronunciation of multiple words to HORRIBLE alternatives. It’s the same voice actor but she butchers her pronunciation of multiple repeat words.

2.0

I think that the heteronormative system that sjm establishes just really got in the way of me enjoying the book. I didn’t really expect it in a fae setting (why establish sexism in a world you made up if you’re not going to engage with it critically??) Also it feels a little weird to me that sjm portrays the fae as a relatively sexually liberated society, yet “whore” carries such weight as an insult. Again, it could be interesting if she engages with it critically but it just seems a little shallow as is. Having read two of the books now, the books are really starting to lack tension/stakes for me. Everything always goes right for Feyre and none of the relationships have any chance to build (there’s potential for more tension in the relationships, but the potential is ultimately wasted). Any “tension” is based on silly miscommunications which honestly made me dislike the characters more. I’m begging sjm to let her characters have flaws!! Like how are they all perfect? It’s boring!

Amamos a Rhys, es la mejor cosa del mundo, y como ayudo a Feyre a salir adelante y volver a encontrarse a ella misma, yo creo que este libro habla bastante de volver a confiar en los demás y en uno mismo y en empezar a quererse uno mismo, me encantó el libro

The second book in the ACOTAR series definitely didn’t disappoint but it was very difficult to stay attached. There’s lots of build up with no climax until the very end and it’s a great ending but I feel like Maas spent too much time building up to a single moment that’s only two chapters of the entire 624 paged book. Looking forward to the third book!

This book is what I expected Maas to write. There was a more shocking plot and the

slow burn romance

was perfect for my tastes. The political aspect of the book is similar to fourth wing 🙌.
