While the story is good, I would not recommend this to anyone with sexual trauma or an abusive person in their life as this book will likely be very upsetting. Trigger warning: explicit sex scenes (several that can be skipped), abuse, torture, returning to abuser, sex work, assault is hinted at, PTSD, violence

An all-consuming rush of brilliant imagery, cunning battle and tense action, beautiful companionship, deliciously sexy and sweet romance. I was utterly entranced the entire 624 pages as Feyre continued her fight for her loved ones, her new friends, her soulmate, and her own beating human heart within a new immortal body.

I LOVE RHYSAND TO INFINITY AND BEYOND. What a magnificent creature. Maas crafts his heartbreaking story so flawlessly, intersecting purposefully with Feyre’s even from the first moment they met in the first book. I was blown away by every detail revealed.

Also… HE LETS HER BEJEWELED. IYKYK!!!

“But I was his mate. He would yield only for me.”

I can’t wait to see what happens next between the High Fae and the mortal realm as they go to swiftly into that dark night…

Holy cringe. Finally, I'm done with it.

What is nuance? Subtlety? Sarah J. Maas obviously does not know. Her writing is horrible, her characters are all the same—beautiful, super powerful, with tragic past and blah blah blah—her dialogues are on the level with 5 graders joking about balls and dicks, her sex scenes are the cringiest, and her plots make no sense. Whoever says that this is the best book they've ever read, I'm begging them to read something else.

I'm just gonna include the most eye-rolling bits:

“No wonder you’re so thin if you vomit up your guts every night.”

Why on EARTH would S.J. Maas put this in?? 

"Rhys merely shrugged and looked to me. To let me choose. Always—it was always my choice with him these days."

Oh my god, the bare minimum... we stan 

"He jerked his chin at my tattoo. “Give a shout down the bond if you get anything accomplished before breakfast.” [...]  “You could try rubbing it on certain body parts and I might come faster.
  Alone in the frost-gilded forest, I replayed his words and a quiet chuckle rasped out of me.

Oh my god, girl PLEASE!!!!!

 “And is being immortal lovelier than being human?
[...] I looked the High Lord of Summer up and down, as he had examined me, brazenly and without a shred of politeness, and then said, “
You tell me.”
  Tarquin’s eyes crinkled. “
You are a pearl. [...]"

INCREDIBLE comeback from Feyre! The wits! The smarts!

I said to Lucien, low and quiet and as vicious as the talons that formed at the tips of my fingers, as vicious as the wondrous weight between my shoulder blades, “When you spend so long trapped in darkness, Lucien, you find that the darkness begins to stare back.”

😐😐😐

I wouldn’t think of why this position was one he wanted to end in, to have me banish the stained dark with the light.

  But I would glow—for him, I’d glow. For my own future, I’d glow.

Yes, the glow and the darkness are literal here. And it's a sex scene.


And, obviously, Feyre is all powerful and good at absolutely everything (including reading and writing that she spent what, a week on learning?).

These books are trash :)

P.S. Sarianna Silvonen did an incredible job translating the book into Finnish, improving the text as much as it was possible.

Take a shot every time “female” or ”male” is said and you’ll die of alcohol positing within the first 10 pages
