After weeeeeeeks of my good friend BEGGING me to read ACOTAR, I finally caved and did it.
Wow what a roller coaster.
I have to say that the first half of the book was chockablock of world/scene building, which is absolutely fine as fantasy books require this type of build-up. However, as a result of this, I WAS constantly thinking “when’s the good stuff gonna happen, the stuff that everyone keeps raving about?”
I got there eventually and FLEW through the second half of the book.
Some things were a little unrealistic and made me chuckle (but then again, it’s fantasy so I guess anything is possible!), and I can’t help but notice that we are only really TOLD that Feyre and Tamlin are in love - I don’t feel as though I could SEE it that much. Aside from their burning attraction to each other and few deep convos, there wasn’t much that made me want to desperately ship these two together.
But overall it was a pretty captivating (and passionate😉) read! I’m looking forward ot reading the other books in the series (but won’t lie about the fact that I’m feeling a little apprehensive at the size of the rest of the books (with the exception of ACOFAS)).
