4.0

Definitely a change of pace from the first book- this is super character driven, the focus is def primarily Feyre’s emotional/mental state & relationships. Not for everyone maybe but I liked it a lot! Also I think the romance was well-developed and didn’t feel forced or rushed <3 for sure the highlight of the book for me along with seeing a fantasy female lead truly grapple with trauma, which I feel like gets glossed over sometimes. Pacing is not quite as tight as the first book with the action towards the end feeling a little sudden/an abrupt tone shift/rushed, but it’s not egregious.  Again, nothing groundbreaking w all the tropes used- I found a lot of moments predictable lol- but still really enjoyed reading the execution!
