Not very well written.

“I love you” I said, and stabbed him.”

I honestly wasn’t impressed by this book. If you’re looking for something that has a lot of common basic tropes crammed into a fantasy book, this kind of nails it. If you’re looking for something fresh and exciting, I wouldn’t recommend it based on this first book in the series. That being said, I might give book 2 a try since I’ve heard a lot of people say to push through to that one and it picks up. It might be worth the time eventually, we’ll see.

Tamlin is Howl from Howl’s moving castle. I feel like this is gonna turn in to a love triangle and that’s rough because a. Tamlin is great, he’s a protector and believes in her and supports her and I like him a lot. And b. I’m monogamous and do not support cheating in anyway and for this to become a love triangle with Rhys something sad would have to happen.

Rhys is great too, and I like enemies to lovers tropes so them together would probably be more interesting. If she chooses him won’t the love of this book be for naught? She does everything out of love for Tamlin.

it was good but the writing was a bit ridiculous n repetitive at times, and toward the end it seemed to drag on for a while

This was a really wonderful read! The pacing is fast and the plot is gripping. I could hardly put it down until I'd finished. Maas has a wonderful writing style too, apart from one too many uses of "my throat closed up" and "my mouth went dry" and a couple of grammatical errors- I found it slightly more ornate than that of most other modern writers, and there's definitely a lot less swearing.

The characters are well-rounded, especially Feyre. There are a couple of plot inaccuracies

- for instance, the question of why Feyre couldn't see the Attor at first, despite the fact that it wasn't a member of the Spring Court.

Nonetheless, this was one of the best books I've read. I can't wait to read the rest of the series - I hope they're as good as this one!
