i will say feyre is hard to understand as a character, there were some sliiiightly questionable moments of sexuality, the phrase “my bowels turned watery” was used at least three times, some plot constructions were way too convenient, and i have no concept of how much time passed (was it like 2 months or 2 years ???)

This is an especially great book if you’re looking to get into fantasy . While the world is complex with lots of characters, you’re really eased into the Prythian with Sarah holding your hand a bit a long the way. As a big fantasy reader, I found this a tad patronizing at times, but overall it made this a much easier and fun read.
I really connected with Freye and her mix of soft and hard, and I’m so glad the damsel in distress trope wasn’t leaned on in this first book.
Literally cannot wait to start the next. Highly recommend.
