This is one of those books that's bad, without being offensively bad. Like it's totally readable and I don't hate that I read it because I'm like well, that was kind of entertaining.

Also, I think Sarah J. Maas might be a furry and I'm here for it, but I really could have done without all the purring.

There was nothing compelling about Feyre to get me to root for her; she seemed pretty blah and vanilla and boring. I finished the book (after setting it aside out of boredom ) to find out what would happen with Rhysand, whom the author wrote so very, very well. I wish there was more of his story and less of Feyre and Tamlin. And I found myself wishing for more of Lucien's backstory.

Could not figure out why Tamlin and Feyre were a couple, or what drew them to each other.

The action that took pla ...more
