A slight improvement in language when compared to the first book. Still feels as if it is written by/for children however.
This book reads like a fanfiction with a slight bit more polish, instead of being a continuous first draft there may have been two or three (not enough to get rid of inconsistencies and a rare spelling mistake).
More sexualization than the first book, however it is not enjoyable to read, the characters have no chemistry and seem uncomfortable, which made me uncomfortable.
The characters are revisioned to the point of being completely different characters, as well as Feyre being stupidly over-powered and still not having any personality other than 'sex object' and 'needs protecting'.
Villian was more compelling but didn't feel as powerful as the first villian, so there is no growth in the threat other than being told that theres a growing threat.
