The feels being evoked are a little too real in this series. It's not just faeries trucking. Question who's the hero and who, the villain.

This is better than the first book by leaps and bounds, but Mass still struggles with pacing issues. After the first book, Feyre and Tamlin's relationship is irreparably broken. Desperate to get away from his smothering precense, she leans into her bargain with Rhysand of the Night Court, eventually allying herself with him completely. In theory, the book is about them preparing for war with the fae king Hybern. In actuality, it's long, long stretches of romance between Feyre and Rhys without any mention of the various quests they need to go on in preparation. And even when they do remember, it's often not what Feyre thinks. I liked the interactions between Feyre and Rhys, but Feyre is often the last to figure things out (even as the reader I was usually several steps ahead) and it really bogs down the plot. Both this and ACOTAR could have been a fraction of the length or at least broken into 2-3 books. For as popular as these books are, the pacing and structure is just odd...

The last time I read so much about males and females and males fighting other males for females I was looking at screenshots from an incel forum.

Ok. There were good parts. In particular, the heist with Amren and Feyre. Amren in general.

Hey. Why did you make me read so many hours of Feyre agonizing over Tamlin. Over leaving him. Over moving on from him. Over being attracted to another person after 2 months. And just when I think there's gonna be some kind of emotional resolution, or she's going to like really deal with her shit, it's revealed that

Feyre and Rhysand are fated mates, and the thing with Tamlin was doomed from the start. NO NEED TO THINK ABOUT THAT ANYMORE! AAAAAUUUGGGHHHHHHHH

I love Feysand!!! some times it felt corny but it was so fun. I loved the Night Court antics, Feyre’s healing and all the high risk adventures. I love Mor and Amren too!! That last bit had me on my TOES. Feyre is just my #1 girl and obviously I’m in love with Rhysand.

This second Book in the series was so much better than the first. The first book was truly world and character building to set up the plot. Sarah J. Maas did a very good job connecting little things from the first book that were hints to what happened in this second book, as well as some really great twists in the plot in the last part of this book. I unfortunately feel her writing is somewhat bland and repetitive. I feel there is a lack in the variety of words used when describing things. I also felt many things she wrote in this book were cop-outs to keep the story moving when she, somewhat, backed herself into a corner plot-wise. I’m intrigued to see what the third book will bring

The pacing of the book was odd. Switched between slow and fast and then the last 100 pages was jam packed with action. 
There was a lot of character/relationship development throughout the entire book. 
Though some parts were leaning predictable, it was still an invigorating read that leaves you wanting more.
