LIES. A bait and switch! I was told these were fairy sex books but this one has one poorly timed blowie and then a whole lotta plot. My main concern while reading this was Hybern’s armies and not a damn THING about my real life.
I read this in 48 hours it’s the only time I’ve ever finished a book this size that fast. I literally could not put it down. I was STRESSED.
I don’t think these books are ‘good’ persay but I do think SJM put drugs in them.
THAT BEING SAID I need her to do 2 things.
1) control-f the word ‘mate’ in the manuscript. Delete 75% of the times it shows up. Minimum. I love Feyre and Rhys and the level of Ick seeing ‘mate’ literally every other page has instilled in me is not fair. I’m gagging as I write this.
2) learn how to talk about art in a way that is not full-body-cringe inducing. Your main character is an artist and the way art is written about it here is unbelievably awkward. As an artist, I implore you.
Also the way it feels like she JUST remembered queer people exist 2/3 of the way through the 3rd book. Absurd. Laughable. But again. I cannot read them fast enough so
