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.

This was so much better than the ACOTAR, I found it to be much less faffy and there was more progress in the plot. Rhys and Feyre's relationship is infinitely better than that of hers and Tamlins

not to mention the mate business because damn.

and I was very invested. It is a long read but I would honestly say it's worth it. Excited to read book 3!

I found the book interesting in places. The description could be a bit much and a little over the top, especially when it is supposed to be a fast-paced scene, like a battle. I would much rather be pulled into an action scene, not thrown out because it was over descriptive.

At times, Feyre pissed me off. The attack on Velaris was just one of those times. Her downfall is to not act in the moment, but to wait and take in the scene while deciding what she is going to do, she knows that she wants to help, but yet still doesn't move. I found myself screaming during the attack on Velaris: "Feyre, you have the power of seven high lords. Do something."

The book made me want to throw it multiple times, and most of those times were because of Feyre's ineptitude. What is the point in her having all these powers if she's not using them?

OP inner circle- these are final bosses. Feyre can not compete. 
Poor Tam though, Sarah really took one look at Rhys and beat the shit out of funny flute faerie... like Sarah, what did this man do to you!? :') 

> Possible spoilers < Summer court heist and Weaver's cottage CARRIED this book, they were so so good. 

I really like Tarquin, he seems like a cool, chill guy :]
