I didn't quite like this book for a few reasons...
First of all, it's written in first person and I'm not quite fond of that style.
Second and mainly: Feyre is insufferable. She makes me cringe every time, and she is the protagonist and only voice of the story.
The only thing interesting in this book is the world building and as a TTRPG player who is reading the Changeling manual, I have to say it gave some great ideas.
I'll read the rest of the story because I saw many people say it gets better, but... I felt like reading Twilight again, but with fae.
