Okay this was so fun to read!! It’s got Faerie paperwork, Faerie bank accounts, vulgar gestures, and enough growls and hisses and snarls to fill a zoo. This was much stronger than the first installment, and actually made the first one make more sense, though it was still often goofy and full of weird plot holes. I truly have no concept of what anyone’s powers are, they seem limitless until there is a random thing they can’t do, but even then they might be able to do it at a later time. And the plot really didn’t make much sense at all
like when Feyre got mad about the mate reveal, I feel like the only reason she was angry was to get them alone in a cabin for a sex marathon, not because she would be legitimately angry at the bond with a person she obviously loves
.  And I will say SJM can write about trauma in a surprisingly nuanced way, so that made Feyre’s character arc much more compelling than in ACOTAR. The last few chapters had me ON EDGE! I had a blast reading this and I guess now I am, perhaps begrudgingly, a sjm girlie. I’m hooked! You got me!
