I don’t always hop on trends, but the ACOTAR one is worth it. The writing in this book is fantastic, I love the slow burn of the romance story, and the emotional up-and-downs are so real, even in a fantasy world. I couldn’t put this down!

After finishing the first book in the series I did not understand what the hype was all about. I found it to be middling at best. When enough people promised me that the second book was better, I reluctantly decided to give a whirl and wow. It's exponentially better in every way. The world building is incredible, the character development far exceeds anything in first book, and most importantly the chemistry is palpable. Do not be turned off by the first book; it's just something you have to get through in order to get to this gem.

So many thoughts. I went into this not loving the characters and not 100% sure if I was going to like the rest of this series. 
I’m happy to say that I was wrong and that I have a new found respect for Feyre and for Rhysand. 

Also soooo much PTSD and caring reactions to it. 

That being said, I still found a brand new loathing for Tamlin. I hadn’t loved him in the first book but didn’t hate him either. I was ambivalent about him and didn’t like him with Feyre in particular. 
In this book, hate is pretty accurate. 

In the first book, I didn’t love Feyre either but I guess it just proves that the people around you influence you. 

This book had interesting plots and beautiful character development. I love the found family and the action scenes too. 
The last 20% of the book was epic and wonderful.

The start of this book may be difficult to read, as the main character feels broken. Stick with it. It is an incredible book. Unanticipated twists. Dark. Sexy.
