It seemed like there were a lot of concepts here that were introduced, but not explored. I'm not sure if its setup for the later books in the series, but if they are it's not done in a way that makes me think they will be.

I'm also a little disappointed because I thought this book would be a bit spicy. But while there were sex scenes, they were kinda brief and seemed thrown in. Maybe it's because I didn't find there to be a lot of chemistry between Feyre and Tamlin, but none of those scenes felt "hot."

 It’s a bit too stream of consciousness for me. I enjoy the podcast, which is why I got the book, and I feel like Rob is better in that format.
