This was so much better than the ACOTAR, I found it to be much less faffy and there was more progress in the plot. Rhys and Feyre's relationship is infinitely better than that of hers and Tamlins

not to mention the mate business because damn.

and I was very invested. It is a long read but I would honestly say it's worth it. Excited to read book 3!

I really hated the first book in this series, so I am glad that I continued on to read this one. Definitely much better in my opinion, I wasn't cringing and rolling my eyes the whole time.

Though still not a fan of our main character, the surrounding characters were more interesting (and less cringey) than book one. 

I have to note- why did SJM have to use the term "puking your guts up" so many times?? There is a lot of mention of vomit but it is always using that term. Not relevant to the plot but so frequent that I had to bring it up.

The ACOTAR series is such an easy read. The problems that are focused on are much more relatable when it comes to mental health and relationships. I think that’s why so many people love it. 

This book starts 3 months after the ending of ACOTAR. The POV is so heavily on Feyre and her journey, that not much is know about what else is going on in the kingdoms. 

The first half of the book is very much about Feyre’s mental health and getting her identity back. It’s slower, for sure. But so many interesting bits of information is given as we look into Rhys and the night courts ways. Once things pick up, they really pick up. 

The characters are really well written and expanded on. The plot is slow because of all the relationship building, but once things get going, they sprint. 

In the end you are on the edge of your seat with a great cliffhanger, NEEDING the next book immediately.
