Book one was great, but book two was brilliant. Twists and turns and so carefully crafted. I didn’t see the secrets until they were revealed. The character development and the way the world and lore grows so much, so seamlessly kept me hooked.

3.5 stars 

Certainly this book was way more interesting than the first book, with more twists and turns. I like Feyre and Rhys relationship and dynamic. I enjoyed the descriptions of the cities, clothing and some of the lore was well explained. But, overall there were like a lot of unneeded characters that made it confusing and like readers are constantly playing catch up. I really disliked the use of ‘male’ and ‘female’ before like every other sentence when describing how someone looked, it’s just not creative. I look forward to continuing with the series but it’s kind of like junk food for my brain.
