4.0

This book had me so conflicted bc for the first half I was kinda bored but when it picked up… it picked UP. 
Honestly it felt like reading a different book after the high stakes actually hit I literally had to stay up until 3am to finish it I couldn’t put it down. 
I’m super excited to read the next books bc I feel like sjm will take the series in such a good direction with the foundation she set in this book.

3.0

Some serious injuries happen to the main character that made this book less enjoyable for me. It’s like 3 hours of torture immediately into a spicy scene? Questionable. You’re not missing anything if you skip this one, there’s nothing wildly magnetic about the writing.

This book was really great at setting the foundation for the second book. It really helped with the world building, but as a result, it was a little lacklustre. It was kind of like the first chapter of a book: you have to get through it so you can understand the rest of the book. It’s the first chapter of the series. That being said,

the Beauty and the Beast theme was interesting but made half the book very slow. I appreciate the dedication to slowly laying out information that would foreshadow the conclusion and allowing us to see their love grow naturally, but i nearly gave up at the halfway point because of how much Feyre seemed to lose her sense of self as she fell in love with Tamlin. She became more comfortable and unshackled by the worries of her mortal life, yes, but she almost became meek and docile in the home. Guess that kind of also explains why she didn’t fight to stay when Tamlin sent her back to the mortal realm. Everything can be explained away, but the main character was disappointing.

Uninteresting characters, except for Rhysand. Curious to know where his storyline takes him.
