4.0

I bought the first two books of this series almost a year ago. I never picked them up because I felt very intimated and overwhelmed by the popularity of Sarah J. Maas and also by the massive catalogue of books I am to read if I enjoy it. 

I have to say, for all of the extreme hype over this series, I was expecting a little more. I love fantasy so of course, it was good, but I have definitely read better. However, this was still a good book, don’t get me wrong. Just a tad overhyped. All that being said, as a fantasy lover, I will definitely be continuing this series. 

I think people have said it gets better and I am extremely excited to get to know Rhysand. Honestly though, maybe it would have been better if it were not so popular and I did not have almost the entire book spoiled for me before reading. I just didn’t connect with Tamlin that much, but maybe I am already biased towards Rhysand. Anyways, enough talk. I enjoyed it overall and I’m picking up the next book as we speak in hopes that it will be a 5 star read.

Spice rating: 1/5 🌶️
