I learned after I read the ACOTAR series that SJM is a major zionist who used Breonna Taylor's murder in a post about one of her book launches. Therefore, I cannot morally or ethically recommend any of her books.

At the time, I did enjoy this book, but I did hate that Moor *SPOILER* was stuck with the BS traumatic closeted lesbian trope. I also hate that the only Black character was slapped with the abandoned-by-father trope. Let's be more creative. There is also no diversity in her characters. Feyre is still stuck in the white savior trope and despite being Rhys' "equal" the inner circle of the night court will always listen to Rhys more.
