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.

WOW. My first attempt at reading fantasy after several years and I devoured this book. Very gruesome, but captivating. I’m looking forward to finding out whether the next books in these series are even better. One thing which bothered me was the riddle with an (imo) obvious answer. Might have saved many injuries and lives…
