Much better than the first book. 

 This book is a lot more focused on Feyre's character development than the plot itself. More than 70% of the story doesn't show the main conflict. Nonetheless, the "quests" before that main conflict helped to break up the self pitying and distress that comes with two main characters that have a lot of issues and don't know how to deal with them in a healty manner. 
Much like the first book, there are a lot of overused tropes and cliches. Knowing how to overlook those will make the reading experience much more enjoyable. 
Feyre and Tamlin's relationship always felt rushed and one sided. The way the she falls out of love from him and rediscovers herself felt raw and depressive, but belivable in a nice character building way. 
I enjoyed how the author played the stereotypes of the 'good' golden hero being the toxic and controlling one in the relationship and the tall dark and mysterious antagonist turning out to be loving and respectful of her boundries, provoking her enough for her to come back to life. 
The sex scenes have also setteped up a notch in how explict and frequent they are. I don't know if it is because I didin't like Tamlin at all in the first book, but Rhys's sex scene was waaay hotter.

I rated the first book in the series 5.0 and now I wish I could rate this even higher. This book was truly amazing, I cannot recommend enough. The romance. The spice, the plot. The character development. Chef’s kiss
Spice level: 🌶🌶🌶🌶/5
