This book is really bad. As for why it's bad, just read a few 1* reviews.

✧ Whenever Maas tries to express emotion, the characters start growling, gritting their teeth, or throwing up.
✧ The pacing is really bad.  Up until around 2/3 of the book, Feyre (the MC) doesn't do anything other than staying at home and flirting with the male leads. 
✧ The prose sucks.
✧ The morality (re: rape, slavery, imprisonment, complicity) is very fishy.
✧ The male leads are boring and two dimensional.

Do not recommend.
