I felt so much emotions reading this book. Anger, sadness, hope, heartache, annoyance, irritation and more anger. Towards the end of the first book, I wasn't much of a fan of the main character, Feyre. But in this book my indifference to her became annoyance and then hatred. I did not like how she was written as a character. It was as if the author went through great lengths just to show that this girl is the main character therefore the entire world will stop for her. Honestly, there were times where I wanted to put this book on my dnf pile not just because of Feyre though. The mediocre plot greatly influenced this inkling of mine to stop reading this book. For me, it felt like the plot of the series could've been over and done with in two books. But no, the author had to drag it along. The plot didn't feel too complicated and delicate for it to last that long. Regardless, I finished it and it's all because of Rhysand. The only redeeming quality of this book. He's the perfect morally grey character. I enjoyed the book because of him. I would've given this book only 3 stars if it wasn't for the ending. The ending is where the plot was finally set in motion. I do hope the fourth book would be more about plot but also not neglect the characters too. 

P.S. The ending was a full circle from the first book so I loved it.

I would definitely recommend this for those who grew up having a huge crush on Howl from Howl's Moving Castle. This is definitely a take from that beautiful love story.
