3.0

This book was entertaining enough to read. I enjoyed that Maas wrote the chapters from the different characters’ perspectives to prepare the reader for a court of silver flames. It was slower paced but quick in comparison to the others due to its length. I did feel like I was rushing/skimming to power through so I could move on to silver flames.

4.0

This book is a great historical/speculative fiction. It’s adventurous, tugs on the heart strings, and makes you want to shake the background/male characters out of frustration. I couldn’t put this book down!

3.5

This book is heavy on world building in the beginning and is a little slow until you hit the middle. Once you hit the middle it gets a tad ~spicy~ and then the real adventure begins! “Spoiler” it gives beauty and the beast vibes — captor to lover/Stockholm syndrome “spoiler” !!!

5.0

This is one of my favorite books. The healing journey that Feyre goes through after experiencing the trauma from under the mountain is beautiful. The chosen-family aspect of the inner circle is heartwarming, and the enemies to lovers trope between her and Rhysand had swinging my feet and wishing I was her. All I can say is f Tamlin I hate him!!
