Love— love was a balm as much as it was a poison.

I truly enjoyed this book! Feyre’s sensibility, trauma, and overall despair can be easily perceived and notice. You can see how she slowly starts falling out of love and how through her eyes it looks like everything is crumbling away.  We can also notice when things start going up again and how she slowly acquires this new “family” and a place for her to actually be her.

Overall, I really enjoyed how J. Mass didn’t paint her (Feyre’s) life after “war” as some sort of fantasy after being a hero. It demonstrated how much cruelty she faced, how weak she felt, how violated (physically and emotionally) she was, and overall how Feyre and everyone around her failed to understand that although she was this sort of god-like creature she still maintained the mentality and fragility of a human.

Also, I despise Tamlin with every cell of my body.

This book picks up not long after the events of A Court of Thorns and Roses. Feyre and Tamlin are deeply scarred by what happened Under The Mountain and their relationship is suffering too; the portrayable of trauma felt really authentic. 

This is my best friend's favourite series so I went into this book knowing some tidbits of information which made for it really enjoyable when I saw things that I knew were going to happen, happen.

This book is junk food for the soul and is pretty enjoyable from start to finish. I found the description of Velaris when we first see it a little on the lengthy side and felt drawn out of the book but otherwise it is pretty faultless for what it is i.e. a not very diverse fairy romance featuring the chosen one trope.
