I really like Feysand!!! some times it felt corny but it was so fun. I loved the Night Court antics, Feyre’s healing and all the high risk adventures. I love Mor and Amren too!! That last bit had me on my TOES. Feyre is evolving (thank god) and obviously I’m in love with Rhysand.
This was so much better than the first book like insanely better. I think that is part of why this gets a better rating than expected. The adventures and playful "courting" brought more energy and flavor to a story that falls sort of flat for me. Purely on the adventure and beginning of this relationship gives the rating. The "sexy" bits don't feel sexy to me unfortunately and the writing feels generic and juvenile. Repetitive phrasing and decisions have you wrenched from an otherwise enjoyable adventure. I HATE her sisters, they are both horrible sisters and people and I am not interested in their stories so this is where I leave you. This feels like an adult version of powerless by Lauren Roberts but adult fantasy instead ya tropey dystopia. If this is your yum, I am very happy for you.
Beyond the critique and from a glance, I enjoyed this. The adventures to the different courts and side characters were very fun to me. Have some action and questing while learning about the new Feyre and her blossoming relationship with Rhysand was a treat. I just think the execution could have been phrased and been generally better.
