3.75/5 Story
5/5 Audiobook (GraphicAudio dramatized adaption)
The audiobook definitely made my reading experience much more enjoyable than if I were to only read ACOTAR. It truly felt like I was watching a movie in my mind - full cast narration, background music/ambience, and sound effects. I binged the entire book in two sittings.
The story itself was still good, but I don't think I would have read it so quickly without the dramatized audiobook. The first half of the story was slow - we spend a lot of time with just Feyre, Tamlin, and Lucien - but I liked getting to know the trio, Feyre had chemistry with both characters (one romantic and the other friendly). Feyre was a good balance of helpless human girl and insanely brave underdog.
The pacing picks up at the 50% mark and the vibes of the story flip - there's more action and higher stakes in the second half of the book. I found some parts to be cheesy and more fairytale than high fantasy novel. I really liked every character except Amarantha - they made her out to be a big bad villain but her part in the book was underwhelming.
I can't wait to see how the rest of the series plays out(and how/if Feyre ends up leaving Tamlin for Rhysand)
