 This book is a good introduction to the ACOTAR world, the story is character driven and less so plot wise. However, it takes a while to take off, and when Rhys is finally introduced there is little to no indication of just how important his character is for the test of the series. Also Calanmai is odd. Under the mountain is very interesting and a massive part of the series. If you want Cassian and Azriel you're gonna have to wait. The story really starts at chapter twenty and after reading the entirety of the series I can conclude that this is the worst book in an exemplar series but a good introduction to the world and prepares you for the rest of the series really well.
