The first book of one of y favorite series. The second weakest in the series in terms of plot and character development, but it sets the stage and the world building really picks up in the second half. If you're a fan of fae and of retellings, I think ACOTAR is a series for you.
Liked
-Feyre's courage
-Depiction of ruthlessness in humans and faeries
-description of trauma and grief
-the characters we meet
Disliked
-the uselessness of Feyre's family
-Tamlin's temper tantrums
-Feyre's inability to figure out the world's easiest riddle
-the choppy pace of the book (way too slow to way too fast)
