- I like S.J.M.'s descriptions of cities, landscapes and clothes
- I think the basis/premise of the world is very interesting
- I enjoy fantasy stories where the MCs train and get to know their powers like in this story and I enjoy the fight scenes
- I do like that the focus is on different relationships (friendships and romantic – found family)
- I am invested enough to be curious how the story continues/I want to finish the series
- I liked that they flirted via letters/texts (kinda made it feel a little 21st century)
- Not a fan of her endings until now
- Though I liked the descriptions it is a long ass book.
- maybe I'm not getting it but sometimes I don't believe the threads of some plots come together so that they "make sense" to me. Sometimes I got confused by the world building or the magic system rules or the change in behavior or descriptions of creatures.
-> Either I don't get it but mostly I feel like I notice how she introduces/ changes certain characters, plot points to get the story where she wants to. But I don't feel like it's quite built in nicely/naturally which takes me out of the story.- Why do girls already mature with 14 like humans even though they're faey?
How they age and their development stages are confusing
- Why do girls already mature with 14 like humans even though they're faey?
- especially the end and the cauldron and book story seems so weird and inconsistent...
... also that the solution seems to be her giving herself up to Tamlin again? I don't get it tbh (for the advancement of the plot and character yes but again, felt the execution lacked) - the trials with the weaver, bone carver, orbe... don't seem very necessary, also the reasons behind why they encountered them are more than a little weak /not natural, except to further the romance/character development get the story where she wants
- Very cringe at times, mostly concerning the romance plot(s)/wording (but I have that with pretty much any romance)
- Sometimes they say: "that's his/her story to tell..." other times people go in depths about trauma's others have endured...
- Less spice than advertised
- very fast character development/pivots:
- Don't think the whole "Tamlin turning bad"-storyline is convincing enough for me and he seems dafter, also ....not necessary. I can imagine maybe the author wanted to create a situation where the readers may reflect in the sense of: "everybody could end up in a abusive relationship", "people can change", "people aren't what they seem"... I can appreciate that.... Or maybe it's just so we automatically "ship" the new couple. but I believe it could be told more convincingly.
- Feyre herself...

Feyre was so fierce and real -- I loved that she had to deal with her rebirth, trauma, and balance between her mortal heart and immortal body. She stayed true to herself, as a survivor, a fighter.
Rhysand and the Night Court was amazing. I love everything about their history and set up and relationships. I didn't feel attached to much of anyone in the Spring Court the way I felt protective of the Night Court. (Except Lucien, who is the best.)
I'm honestly surprised how much happened in this book. There were a lot of quests for items, treaties, deals, and training. It felt like every 20 pages was a new step, a new quest. It could have been a bit overwhelming, but it flowed and made sense and the characters had room to breathe.
I'm completely addicted.
