Feyre is a little bit of a pick me but we love her for that. Lucien is my little angel and I would kill for him, the rat bastard. 

Some of the word choices and descriptions were a bit immature and YA, but not too distracting that it ruined the read. Just a lil cringe at times. The world and creature building was fantastic. 

I recommended to my boyfriend who is much more well-versed in fantasy stories, which says a lot in my opinion.

Very good introductory fantasy book. A majority of the book is a very domestic fish out of water plot that may be boring to some but I found entertaining and a good introduction to the ACOTAR/TOG/CC world building/Sarah J. Moss’s writing style. The climax of the story comes in quite late and feels a bit rushed but isn’t awful.

Where to begin... this was just horrible. Literally a remix of Twilight. I don't get why this is popular. Read something better written, please.
