Uhh I wanted to like this book so much more than I did. The pros are it’s fast paced, relatively captivating and has some interesting twisted characters who I enjoyed. The cons - I was so bored during huge chunks of the book and the tropes were so repetitive.
also felt that Tamlin didn’t do anything to earn Feyre’s trust. Additionally the build up to the spice was so crazy and then totally dead chemistry. Alic just dishing about everything for a whole chapter felt like a boring plot device and the whole hunger games in the underworld made ZERO sense and I felt like the resolution came too quick.  
I am not sure I’ll continue.
