Big upgrade from the first book. Spice level increased by a good 40%. Enjoyed watching feyre’s progress and how she flourishes. It was nice to be able to relate to her mental health problems but watching her find herself again and find what life had to offer really just inspires hope in me. I’m excited for the next book albeit I don’t believe any other book in the series will live up to the expectations of this book.

Zuerst auf Deutsch:
Dieser Band war deutlich besser als der erste, es gab Spannung und ich habe das Gefühl, das Feyre und auch andere Charaktere eine starke Entwicklung hingelegt haben. Der Schreibstil hat mich in den Bann gezogen, sodass ich geradezu gefesselt war. Nur ein paar kleine Sachen am Anfang haben mich gestört, was die Darstellung von Schönheit angeht. 

Now for my English friends:
This one was far better than the first one because there is finally some more action and Feyre as well as other characters get some really good character development. The writing style was fantastic, it pulled me into the story and I loved the funny bits of it. There were only some minor things in the beginning, about beauty, that bothered me. 

Spoiler

I think Velaris will have a special place in my heart and the Night Court can live there rent free.

Was not expecting to like this as much as I did. The characterization of one character in particular

Spoiler

(Tamlin)

dramatically changes from the first book. I think the second and third books in this series work very well together but are sort of disconnected from the first book.

Spoiler

If there had been bigger red flags with Tamlin in the first book or moments where the mask slipped a bit him turning into an abusive prick would have made more sense. Book 1 Tamlin and Book 2 + 3 Tamlin are very different characters and makes the first book feel disconnected. I like book 1 on it’s own and I like books 2 and 3 together but when you put the whole series together the jump between 1 and 2 doesn’t really make sense.

Besides that I enjoyed the books if you can pretend

Spoiler

Tamiln was showing more signs of being abusive in the first book and accept that you aren’t really going to see his character develop in that direction

then it’s pretty good.
