Feyre is a little bit of a pick me but we love her for that. Lucien is my little angel and I would kill for him, the rat bastard. 

Some of the word choices and descriptions were a bit immature and YA, but not too distracting that it ruined the read. Just a lil cringe at times. The world and creature building was fantastic. 

I recommended to my boyfriend who is much more well-versed in fantasy stories, which says a lot in my opinion.

I’ll be thinking about Jude for the rest of my life, probably. 

Was a little egregious with some assumptions of different groups.
Also a little too violent towards the disabled for me, in a way that did not enhance the plot or character development.
Jude didn’t need his experiences sandblasted on his forehead in order to be understood.

Fuck Marcos all my homies hate Marcos

The writing was engaging and well-paced but fell short when it came to  characters that were anyone but Marcos. 

Obviously the themes are supposed to be grotesque but oof,
the misogyny and *hints* at marginalized people suffering without really touching on or sympathizing with such themes was kinda gross.
