I read this book back when it came out. And I loved it. But I was looking for something simple to fall asleep to, something I've already read that won't keep me awake. Something I wasn't interested in that I knew I liked the first time. 

But honestly, this book was boring... It is toxic. It's weird. I think it's really unoriginal and predictable. The writing isnt all that great, it's so simple. And I kinda hated that the second time around.

It's Beauty and the Beast with faeries! I was frustrated with the beginning - Feyre knows so little about the world she lives in and relationship dynamics fell flat for me.

I still don't understand how her and Tamlin fell in love, but I'm glad they finally did so she could be less annoying.

It stays very fairytale themed, but it gets more exciting at least when the plot finally comes together

Very good! I was quite impressed by the writing.

When Feyre was forced to decide if she was going to kill 3 innocent people and free everyone else or let those 3 live and doom everyone else to an eternity of torture, I was sure Maas was going to find a way to let Feyre save the innocents and free everyone. But wow, the constraints were set and Maas followed through. No cop out.

The world building was good and I like how character growth was an integral part of the plot. I look forward to what is to come in the next one.

Synopsis: In the middle of a bitter winter, poverty-stricken Feyre and her family rely on the scarce meat Feyre hunts in the forest bordering the wicked Fae lands. When Feyre brings down a huge wolf, she's sure the money for the pelt will be their salvation from starvation this winter. But when the wolf turns out to be a shape shifting Fae, Feyre must give her life in servitude to the Fae court she has angered. Leaving her family, Feyre enters the Spring Court, determined to escape. If only if her captor wasn't so attractive...

Review: With all the hype around ACOTAR, this was a disappointing read. The world felt empty, and the plot behind taking Feyre but not doing anything with her made no sense until the big twist was revealed. I did like Feyre's skills as a hunter and the other Fae, but struggled with the instalove.
