This book pulled me into its world and didn't release me until the very last page. The world building is great without being overly descriptive.
I felt like the overall pacing was fast, but there is a chunk in the middle that was a bit slower. I'm thankful for that chunk though because that's where I understood the characters as people more and I was drawn closer to them. There were a lot of twists, some I saw coming, others I didn't. I didn't find Feyre likeable throughout the whole book, but I could understand why she was the way she was and I eventually did like her.
I highly recommend ACOTAR especially to anyone that wants to venture into the fantasy genre. I'm immediately starting the next book!
