My review is DEFINITELY controversial! I sobbed I wanted to like this series soooo bad!!đđđ
Where do I begin? First off let me say the first half 5 starssss!! âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸When I say I LIVED in this book, I mean it swept me away at a time when I reallyyyy needed to be swept away.
I know most people say the first half wasnât it, but I wasnât there for the plot. I was there for the vibes, the atmosphere and the slow burn. It gave me OG Barbie Fairy Vibes. I was imagining Fairytopia. I forgot I was reading and found myself quite lost in the world. ButâŚthennnn it all got dark.
when Rhys showed up I was crushed!! I knew how things progressed because I spoiled it for myself earlier (big oops) and after that I couldnât even enjoy the book. Idk Iâm a Tamlin stan all the way. BECAUSE let me say I do NOT endorse toxic men! Rhys is toxic and abusive and idc if he has his reason. The whole wine dancing scenes, an immediate NO! I will not keep reading cause he canât redeem himself for that. Sexual assault!? Immediate no.
Tamlin yeah had a weird scene with the rite night but honestly that didnât bother me as much because Feyre was warned it wasnât him. In my mind that wasnât him it was the magic. Tamlin is innocent.
I regret buying the first three books because I do not think Iâll continue. I do not like Rhys and never will.
In short, great vibes but I refuse to endorse abusive men/relationships.
