Where are the women main characters?? This reads like a wattpad love story where only the heroine matters and all other women are secondary side characters who are either competition or the help. Even the
main villain was only an issue because she wanted Feyre’s man.
The author constantly refers to the other women in the novel as “females” so that should really tell you all you need to know. There is so much in this story that’s engaging, but the lack of diverse, strong, HELPFUL women really ruined it for me.
