One of the best books I’ve ever read. Laughed and cried a lot. Can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

slow-paced

2.5

I struggled with this one. Interesting world building, and quite a few surprise plot twists that kept me guessing. However the heroine was frustratingly lacking in self reflection and reads very, very young. The “love” story feels more like Stockholm syndrome. There are also quite a few problematic consent moments.

A bit stereotypical character and plot development, but the second part of the book opens a new possibility for other characters to develop both the plot and the main character more. Hopefully the other books in the series will become less predictable.

A lot of inconsistencies.
For example: Tam calls Feyre „You“, she things he can‘t remember her  name. A few sentence after he calls her Feyre, she don’t comment on it. A few sentence after he calls her Feyre again, and now she comments on ist that he know her name…. Yes, Girl, he die that a Minute ago also.
That small, bit wh hen there is stuff like this again and again it become really annoying.
