Read the first book in this series and I have to admit I didn’t understand what all the fuss was about. But book two…I get it. The FMC coming into her own was so much fun to read. And the MMC and their relationship were delightful. The spice is a definite slow burn, but it was paced well with just enough here and there to keep it from getting frustrating. The secondary characters are fun and well developed. I hope there will be more of their stories in the next books. And the last few chapters… I could not put it down.

Big upgrade from the first book. Spice level increased by a good 40%. Enjoyed watching feyre’s progress and how she flourishes. It was nice to be able to relate to her mental health problems but watching her find herself again and find what life had to offer really just inspires hope in me. I’m excited for the next book albeit I don’t believe any other book in the series will live up to the expectations of this book.

Was not expecting to like this as much as I did. The characterization of one character in particular

(Tamlin)

dramatically changes from the first book. I think the second and third books in this series work very well together but are sort of disconnected from the first book.

If there had been bigger red flags with Tamlin in the first book or moments where the mask slipped a bit him turning into an abusive prick would have made more sense. Book 1 Tamlin and Book 2 + 3 Tamlin are very different characters and makes the first book feel disconnected. I like book 1 on it’s own and I like books 2 and 3 together but when you put the whole series together the jump between 1 and 2 doesn’t really make sense.

Besides that I enjoyed the books if you can pretend

Tamiln was showing more signs of being abusive in the first book and accept that you aren’t really going to see his character develop in that direction

then it’s pretty good.
