This book was really great at setting the foundation for the second book. It really helped with the world building, but as a result, it was a little lacklustre. It was kind of like the first chapter of a book: you have to get through it so you can understand the rest of the book. It’s the first chapter of the series. That being said,

the Beauty and the Beast theme was interesting but made half the book very slow. I appreciate the dedication to slowly laying out information that would foreshadow the conclusion and allowing us to see their love grow naturally, but i nearly gave up at the halfway point because of how much Feyre seemed to lose her sense of self as she fell in love with Tamlin. She became more comfortable and unshackled by the worries of her mortal life, yes, but she almost became meek and docile in the home. Guess that kind of also explains why she didn’t fight to stay when Tamlin sent her back to the mortal realm. Everything can be explained away, but the main character was disappointing.

Uninteresting characters, except for Rhysand. Curious to know where his storyline takes him.

Look it may not be the most well written and there are some grey lines that are towed in this book, but it definitely is addicting and I definitely will be reading the next books.  If you’re looking for an easy fantasy read that is slightly dark, it does the job.  It’s cliche, but if you’re just here for the vibes, do it.

Ok listen… I didn’t think I would like it imma be honest. Howeva once I got to the plot 👀. I finished the book in 2 days however I’m curious as to why Tamlin is referred to as “tampon” on booktok. I’m scared to read the next one. Although intrigued. Smut not good don’t recommend😐.

I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy this book as much as I did. I found some of the writing to be a bit cringe/odd but I had alot of fun reading it. Maybe it's just because I haven't read a fantasy book in a while but this book was exactly what I needed and im anticipating the events of the second one.
