Sarah J. Maas weaves a tale so enchanting, you might forget to come up for air. Just be warned: reading this book may result in sudden outbursts of swooning and a serious case of book hangover. Approach with caution and a healthy dose of humor!
It will seemed drawn out at first, but don’t let that stop you. The writing is amazing, and well thought out. The characters have their own unique personalities and you’ll love them or hate them immediately.

One major complaint - maybe I missed it because I listened to the audio book, but (early book spoilers)
Other than that, this was a pretty stereotypical fantasy with romantic subplot. It's certainly better than others in the same vein I've read recently (though the bar is low), and in my opinion it stands above those as "the book that started it all." I'll probably pick up the next in the series, there's an interesting world here with a ton of potential and I'm really hoping that gets explored more. Unfortunately, I have a sinking suspicion she'll set that aside and focus on the relatively bland insta-love romance instead.
All in all, this is a decent brain candy book if you're looking for something to put on in the background or to help you unwind on a drive home from work.
