Big upgrade from the first book. Spice level increased by a good 40%. Enjoyed watching feyre’s progress and how she flourishes. It was nice to be able to relate to her mental health problems but watching her find herself again and find what life had to offer really just inspires hope in me. I’m excited for the next book albeit I don’t believe any other book in the series will live up to the expectations of this book.

love Feyre the main girl, she’s somewhat realistic & smarter than her old ass peers+mate. love that for her

plot wise, a bit irritated that they took so long in their side quests. Even worse, that they’re so gullible & only have 1 plan on hand to resolve problem. (except Feyre) Y’all live for millennia for what? to only come up with 1 plan
and got trapped
? dont know how y’all survive for this long, that’s dumb af 😭

plot wise 😏,  like the tension between Feyre & her mate. some of the ‘action’ actually progress the plot which i like but sometime it’s a bit wordy and i skipped. 

i suggest you read the book. this book is a total page turner. there were 700s pages and i read it in less than 24 hr.

found Feyre a much more barrable character in this book. Her jello spine eventually became steel and she got some of her sh*t together. Rhysand was delightful in the last book and I loved all the “screen time” he got in this book. As with any book by Sarah, you will be endlessly blue-balled. Her sex scenes are more explicit than usual but everyone freaking out that teens shouldn’t be reading this, obviously forgot a lot of people start masturbating in middle school and f*cking in high school. If it’s not your thing though just skip ahead.

Was not expecting to like this as much as I did. The characterization of one character in particular
(Tamlin)
dramatically changes from the first book. I think the second and third books in this series work very well together but are sort of disconnected from the first book.
If there had been bigger red flags with Tamlin in the first book or moments where the mask slipped a bit him turning into an abusive prick would have made more sense. Book 1 Tamlin and Book 2 + 3 Tamlin are very different characters and makes the first book feel disconnected. I like book 1 on it’s own and I like books 2 and 3 together but when you put the whole series together the jump between 1 and 2 doesn’t really make sense.
Besides that I enjoyed the books if you can pretend
Tamiln was showing more signs of being abusive in the first book and accept that you aren’t really going to see his character develop in that direction
then it’s pretty good.
