Big upgrade from the first book. Spice level increased by a good 40%. Enjoyed watching feyre’s progress and how she flourishes. It was nice to be able to relate to her mental health problems but watching her find herself again and find what life had to offer really just inspires hope in me. I’m excited for the next book albeit I don’t believe any other book in the series will live up to the expectations of this book.

Wow! After reading the first book, I wasn't sure how this second in the series would compare or even compete. But Wow! Just WOW!

The characters, the love story, the pain, trauma, & triumph! Just Wow!

I dont want to give any spoilers away, but this series is a must read for anyone who loves a dark, twisty, adventure. Who loves hope, redemption, and deep passionate love (with some very passionate moments intertwined!)

I'll be starting the next book immediately!
