I am so conflicted on this book. The first half? Pointless, annoying, basic. This beauty and the beast retelling was so on the nose it was frustrating, because it felt so uncreative and predictable. About halfway/two thirds of the way through the book though, it 180s and becomes a different, far more interesting and exciting story.

The imagery was really nice af the writing was easy to get through, but make no mistake, I'm continuing the series for Lucien and Rhysand. Tamlin and Faeyre are boring on their own.
