I read this book so quickly; I could not put it down!!! Feyre's development went OFF! There were some really tense scenes and, again, so many Maas-esque twists and turns. However, I wish there were some actual character deaths. It seems that Maas added some "deus ex machina" plotlines/characters to ensure no main characters died. I think the plot would've been more poignant if we saw some actual sacrifices made. Of course, I want to see all these characters thriving; however, it just did not seem realistic. There are also sooo many unanswered questions at the end, which do not seem to be addressed in the conclusion. 


EDIT: I’ve now read this book twice and it is a literal masterpiece. The questions left unanswered do get explained in later books.
