So.many.repeated.words.
and yet so little plot. If you are into erotica desguised as a fantasy book, this one is for you. Otherwise... read throne of glass, that's a actually good fantasy book this author wrote. I usually love SJM, but she massacreted the written word here and there was...NO PLOT. Just sex. I mean, honestly this is just a wattpad fanfiction in hardcover in a nutshell. Seriosly, if you liked "A court of thorns and roses" triology, don't read this. Rhysand becames just as bad as Tamlin (which kills me) and everyone, expect Asriel, Mor and Elain, turned out soooo bad. I miss the time Tamlin was the biggest problem. Also I really disliked the fact that SJM took away Nesta’s powers. They were kinda the only thing that made her unique. And the only reason I was even interested in reading this. Without her powers she’s just Feyres bitchy sister. Now Nesta’s just an unnecessary and incredibly annoying character. I also hate the whole fuck-buddy premise, I found it really unsatisfactory. And for the young minds that may read this, sex is not how you deal with trauma!
