The story itself was good. Entertaining. Rise and fall of conflict was executed well. The character evolution was gripping in most instances. Book 5 probably my favorite, give. The actual progression in Nesta shown from anger and hatred, to self loathing, to forgiveness, and then to happiness. Essentially the motions of grief, in a way. 

The language and reiterations were difficult to not be frustrated with. 

The constant use of beheld was too much. When listing two people (or items), and always saying the former or the latter, was also an annoyance. 

The change in writing style made it difficult for the flow to stay constant. In, I think, book 4 some POV is in first person but others are in third. Aggravating to say the least.

I liked the series but I think because I read them all in a short space of time, I became a bit sick of the writing style. I rushed through the last book so I could finish them. Great fantasy read though

Elaine???

Honestly I was disappointed to not get more of an ending to Elaine’s story. Also had no idea that this book was mainly about Nesta and Cassian so I was slightly disappointed in that.

Good series

adventurous medium-paced

Book 1 was only ok but still sucked me in. Books 2 and 3 were amazing. Book 3.5 was god awful and so useless. Book 4 was very good but didn’t feel cohesive enough with books 1-3.5 - felt like the author should have taken the Feyre/Rhys plot line from book 4 and centered it for one short novel to make book 3.5, then Cassian and Nesta’s plot line should have been a separate spin-off series. Overall loved the series, but would have been just as happy if she stopped after book 3.
