4.5

Compared to the final half, the first half was slow, but immediately got my attention and got me out of my years long book slump. I had a fantastic time with this and can’t wait to continue the series.

I considered giving this 5 stars, but since I have high hopes that I’ll enjoy other books in the series even more than this one, I’m giving it 4.5.

I really enjoyed this book and couldn't put it down.  Not normally a fantasy reader but this kept me engrossed just to see what happens to Fayre and Tamblin

Well written. Main character makes some mind-numbingly dumb choices. Great world building.

I like this book better than the first Throne of Glass book. The writing and the world-building is better in this one. However, I have mixed feelings about the relationship between Feyre and Tamlin. Some of their moments are sweet but other moments I found to be unhealthy. I don’t think I would put my life on the line for someone like Tamlin. Overall, a flawed but good read.
