I feel bad doing this. This book is good, it really is. There's nothing wrong about it. The writing is stunning and the author creates wonderful characters. It's just not for me, unfortunately i didn't enjoy it. I did like Nura's character a lot though, and i will give the sequel a chance.

i honestly don't know what i feel about the finale. the first part of the book was slow and later parts were quite exciting. the ending could've been more elaborated but overall it's fine.

this the best book of the series so far, I love how everything comes together and there were so many explosive secrets. I absolutely loved Auren in this book, i was anxious all the time for her and wanted her to finally find herself and be happy. the romance in this book was satisfying and i would love to see more of the side characters in the future and i'm curious where the series is heading as this first arc is finally over.

I'm officially addicted!

This book has a very compelling plot and amazing lyrical writing. I'm in awe of how the author painted a mesmerizing imagery of the fae world.

The characters are quite dark, i like how there's no good or bad guys here, no one is trustworthy. I adore Jude, she's a resilient morally grey heroine and i find that refreshing in YA books. 

i'm intrigued by Jude's unique relationship with Madoc. I also love the simmering chemistry between her and Cardan.

This was so fun to read, truly magical.

the first part was enjoyable, and i loved the focus on Feyre and Lucien because i missed their friendship, but the rest of the book was a convoluted mess and the main characters started to get very annoying.
what i loved mostly is the development of Nesta's character, she and Cassian were more delightful to read about than others.
