Not sure why I put this one off for so long. I loved it. Like Beauty and the Beast, but with Faeries.

I have long avoided this book because I was worried it wouldn’t live up to the hype, but I loved it! I wouldn’t say it’s the best writing in the world, but definitely a compelling story.

It’s slow and kinda drags in the beginning, but does a great job building the world and characters. Definitely worth the read for the rest of the series.

Was sloooooow to start, once the action started, couldn’t put it down! 
Disappointing ending, I feel like everything is resolved when it shouldn’t be. It could be a stand alone and it would work. I’m confused what the other books are about.

Okay, I read this one because a kiddo asked me to. It wasn’t generally on my TBR, and I might have started out biased. However, putting aside the author, every single character was unlikeable. I truly don’t understand the hype.
How is everyone falling in love with the people they treat like absolute shit? And with the people who treat them like shit. The Stockholm syndrome really runs rampant in this one.
