The ACOTAR series is such an easy read. The problems that are focused on are much more relatable when it comes to mental health and relationships. I think that’s why so many people love it. 

This book starts 3 months after the ending of ACOTAR. The POV is so heavily on Feyre and her journey, that not much is know about what else is going on in the kingdoms. 

The first half of the book is very much about Feyre’s mental health and getting her identity back. It’s slower, for sure. But so many interesting bits of information is given as we look into Rhys and the night courts ways. Once things pick up, they really pick up. 

The characters are really well written and expanded on. The plot is slow because of all the relationship building, but once things get going, they sprint. 

In the end you are on the edge of your seat with a great cliffhanger, NEEDING the next book immediately.
