This book is definitely interesting. The author paints an interesting visual of the worlds and characters. The plot twist was cool in a way even though it is hinted at. I did become more hooked into the story line in the climax which is around 300 pages. 

The writing is just what really kills this book for me. Take a shot every time the author writes “I could paint that” , “his green eyes”, or “wine”. The overuses of the em dash and ellipsis were killing me after a while. 

More on to the story, Feyre was making me so so angry. She was continuously told an action would harm her family but kept trying to do it anyways to save her family? For a hunter she seemed like she had no common sense or survival skills. She put herself in harms way numerous times. I also hated the fact that we are supposed to love Tamlin and Rhysland eventually meanwhile they both borderline SA/harass her…. It just seems dangerous to add into romance type books

The only reason I didn't give this amazing book 5 stars is because it had several scenes of detailed animal death. Most of them were the same scene over & over. Unnecessary.

It’s just mid. You spend the whole time waiting for the MC to finally catch the plot that you realized was gunna hit like 2 hrs before. She’s very woe is me and extremely unlikable.

I only liked the middle of the book and some chapters by the end, the rest is too slow pace, very weak plot, and some moments I felt bad reading it
