The MC is incredibly bland and at first none of the plot or relationships made any sense. I had a LOT of eye rolling and it wasn't until the end that I realized that MC is bland for a REASON. Having a blank canvas character allows the reader to project themselves into the story more easily...which is probably why people like it so much. Yearning, romance, sex - its all much more fun when you can imagine your self as the recipient.
And for that the book did its job. Its a wonderful YA y/n self insert self indulgent book. The spice level is pretty low - the 1.5 scenes were short, laced with metaphors and not particularly racy. But I come from the land AO3.
The plot was kind of weird, especially the last third with the trials. It seems the second and third books are better BUT i will not be reading them because there are more compelling love stories with muh better sex, slow burn and enemies to lovers.

I felt like the overall pacing was fast, but there is a chunk in the middle that was a bit slower. I'm thankful for that chunk though because that's where I understood the characters as people more and I was drawn closer to them. There were a lot of twists, some I saw coming, others I didn't. I didn't find Feyre likeable throughout the whole book, but I could understand why she was the way she was and I eventually did like her.
I highly recommend ACOTAR especially to anyone that wants to venture into the fantasy genre. I'm immediately starting the next book!
