I loved this book! It has everything, faeries, romance, jealousy, political intrigue, and transformation. Minds change, laws are broken...I can't wait to dive in to the second one!

Oh boy, so many things to say here. First of all, this was the first series in over 10 years that I DNF'd (never got past the first book). The writing is mediocre at best, the descriptions are trite and cliche, and it reads like fanfiction written by a middle-schooler. The main character, Feyre, is whiny, unlikable, and overall bland and annoying, she reads like a textbook self-insert mary sue who is the best at everything, except being girly because she's "not like other girls". The plot makes no real sense, and the story takes forever to move forward, usually with more focus on the smutty romance bits than the actual storyline. This story has just taken Katniss from the Hunger Games, poorly reskinned her, and dumped her in a wannabe dark and raunchy beauty and the beast ripoff. I could maybe see how it could be enjoyable for a horned up middle schooler/ early high schooler, but this book is not for anyone who wants actual substance to their stories.

I put off reading this for so long and I wished I hadn’t! I was hooked from the minute I opened the book to the very last word. I had never read fantasy before and wasn’t sure if I’d like it, but it’s one of the best books I’ve ever read and im immediately reading the next!
