This book is heavily based on fairy tales (Beauty and the Beast). I didn’t finish this book the first time a read it but this time I was successful. From what I’ve heard from Maas fans this is her worst book, which for the record was a good book. There were some things I thought should be different in the book but still a great read.

I am now a very firm and ardent lover of the Maasverse! I can’t believe I’ve had this book for 9 years and just now read it! I loved every bit of it and cannot wait to continue with these characters and fall even more in love with this world!

Basically beauty in the beast meets howls moving castle meets katniss everdeen  protagonist design.

It had some good moments but also some awkward, cringey line choices & scenes. The romance was also meh. 

I'm intrigued to know how the author will make tamlin a bad guy after this book and eventually make us (the reader) root for rhysand instead
