I definitely liked this book better than the first, but to be honest I also took a long break and kind of forget the beginning. I think there are good parts to it but there’s also just some pretty cheesy and bad writing that made me physically cringe at points haha. I would say, again, it’s better than the first and it’s been a good book to get through quickly because it’s action packed, but I wouldn’t say it’s that good.

Back again for Book 2, and I have to say this is better than the first. I was constantly itching to keep reading and find out where Feyre would go next. 

As I predicted at the end of book 1, her and Tamlin did not last. Tamlin exploited her age and trauma to keep her weak so he could manipulate and control her. It was an extremely abusive relationship, but I do think the book treated it as a horrible relationship. So as sad and difficult as it could be to read it was compelling and felt realistic. Although he has powers and titles. Tamlin is just an egotistical misogynist.

 

The best part of this book was delving into the Night Court and all of their secrets and inner workings. They weren’t incredibly complex but I found them intriguing. However I think it would have been greatly improved by a dual timeline telling instead of just telling Feyre stories of the past. 

The worst part of the book was the speed at which everything happened these characters are immortal why are they getting married after three months. This in turn allowed Rhysand and Feyre’s relationship to be built on the same creepy foundation that Tamlin and Feyres relationship was built on. She is 20. Let her be alone and make her own decisions. In my mind, I have made very simple adjustments to make it not creepy and it is frustrating that the author did not make these.

The timeline is also frustrating because there seems to be the argument to attack Pyrathian when it’s weak after Amarantha. However this isn’t ever displayed in the text and Pyrathian isn’t the target of the attack; the mortal lands are. The rushed timeline then just glosses over details that could be interesting and compelling. 

Rhysand is not Tamlin; but he still has a sort of predatory vibe about him. She went directly from the trauma of under the Mountain to an extremely abusive and controlling relationship to a ancient man who’s every single move is undercut by the fact that he knows she is his mate and wants her to accept that bond. 

Why!? In the goddamn world was this mate bond active before she was turned Fae. There is no evidence in the book of humans being able to experience this bond, so it’s creepy and manipulative. I adjust it for myself by inserting a quick 100 years where Feyre learns of her different powers visiting the other courts with and  leaves the abusive relation ship of her own accord. After this time, she sees Rhysand again and then a mating bond forms. In this version her sisters are Elain’s grandchildren which she has kept in touch with.

The next book looks like it’s a Dual POV and should be exciting.
