I can’t even put into words what this book has done to me…honestly it’s a 10 star read - I can’t stop thinking of the characters!

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?

"It'd just been a relief to think that for a moment, [Rhysand] might have been as lonely as me." - Feyre

Wow! How is the second book in the series better than the first? I did not expect any of what happened to happen. 

Rhysand was probably the biggest curveball for me. I didn't expect him to be so caring and

he sacrificed so much for his people and those close to him.

It was so heartbreaking when he talked about Under The Mountain, yet he still found time to be there for Feyre when

she was struggling with her nightmares.

I can't believe I would say this, especially after reading the entirety of book one, but

Fuck Tamlin, I could not believe him. From the beginning, he acted like he wasn't awake as Feyre puked her brains out!

The ending wasn't what I expected and I am shook on what will happen next! I think I might need a moment before I start the next book because I need to mentally prepare myself!
