Loved the writing, got me to keep reading. Was looking forward to seeing her involvement in historical events but those events were only referenced briefly. Felt very eurocentric, Addie wanted to explore the world but she only explored Europe and the US. Mixed feelings about the ending...

Was fun to read but not worth rereading for me.

Feyre is basically watered down Katniss. Found it a struggle to understand her decisions and motivations. Much of the plot made no sense at all. Being a Fantasy Romance, I expected the romance to make up for the lackluster plot, but sadly disappointed. Writing style is a lot of telling readers how to feel rather than showing. Hoping the rest of the series gets better...

Already felt like the characters weren't great in this series and they were terribly inconsistent in this book. Seemed like their personalities changed based on how the plot needed to be moved along. All the men in this series were just slightly different versions of each other. For a book romanticizing men who support women, the “good males” were rather condescending and manipulative, giving the women a false sense of choice and autonomy.

Repetitive phrases and plot points. Magic system is nonexistent, seems to just change whenever it was convenient. The pregnancy subplot was infuriating (hint of pro-life rhetoric)
