I know I’m like 10 years late to reading this but I was totally fine being ~not like the other book girlies~ and refusing to read this series because everyone else was obsessed with it. And for what? To act like that somehow made me better? Perhaps for a time it soothed me to roll my eyes at talk of faerie romance and all the tedious world building of courts and magic and such… except why? Literally why. Why do I do this to myself. I love Twilight, The Hunger Games—I jumped on those bandwagons early on, so why did I put this one off for so long just to inevitably devour it?? 

Yeah fantasy isn’t usually my thingggggg but people change!!! 

✨ she’s a High Fae girly now!!!!! ✨ (Please read this next line in that one voice from Shrek) ANYTHING FOR YOU, MY LORD!!! 

Anyway, Feyre is an awesome protagonist and I’m so looking forward to what next awaits her in Prythian…

I enjoyed the story, despite being fairly predictable and on the nose. Things work out a bit too conveniently, in a way that you know all the main characters will be fine, and there’s rainbows and sunshine at the end. 

Spoiler

I mean come on, she leaves just DAYS before the curse runs out of time, if only she had said those three little words to him at ANY point since she already knew she loved him. She wouldn’t have made it past the second trial without Rhys secret help. She happens to figure out the riddle the second before being killed, then she’s magically brought back to life by a special never seen before golden goo that all the High Lords have! Where have you been loca style, she’s all pretty and shiny like a new vampire now.

Also, Feyre is an idiot. Makes it really hard to love her character when she continuously makes the worst decisions over and over.
