The first half of the book was a bit slow for me, but the second half picked up, and I enjoyed the ending. Some characters I have mixed feelings about, so it will be interesting to see how they develop in the next books, to see which way my feelings solidify. 
SJM writing was overall decent. I did get a little annoyed with the ways she tended to describe Feyres feelings or reactions to things. Such as “my bowels turned watery” and various forms of that. But it can be overlooked 🤷🏻‍♀️ 
Overall, it didn’t live up to the hype that I expected it to, but it wasn’t terrible. It was still a fun read, and I plan to read the next one soon!

Loved this book. Intro to fantasy. VERY violent. I’d prefer less violence and no more torture please.

I can see why people don’t like this book but I loved it! I’ve heard people say that it’s really repetitive but Feyre is an artist and resource full and is constantly paying attention to detail and running things over in her brain. This book is in her POV and it takes a deep dive into her mind. It’s amazing
