I am so very tempted to give this 5 stars. (Maybe I did and just haven't updated this)
Anyway. I very much enjoyed this book. The best relationship development is between Feyre and Rhysand. Hands down. Straight from the get go. Starting in ACOTAR.
As a reader I could sense the relationship building between even though Feyre did not. Or, would not. Being Tamlin's enemy puts Rhy at a disadvantage with Feyre. But, because of Rhysand and his patience and kindness she begins to heal and learn to read.
Then she goes back to Spring Court and all is undone until Rhy steps in again. Until, one day Tamlin goes too far with his controlling and something inside Feyre finally snaps.
I absolutely adore the way Rhy and the Night Court let Feyre work through things. The way they support her and care for her even though they barely know her. And, say what you will but I do not believe it is only because of the bond. It's because of who they are.
This book made me dislike Tamlin even more than I had in the first book. Like, really really not like him. He's a spoiled brat. Poor Lucien stuck in the middle. Between a long friendship with someone who gave him a home and a budding friendship with someone who truly cares for him but is becoming a part of another Court.
What Tamlin let happen to Feyre's human family was cruel. And, let's not kid ourselves. He is the reason Hybern got to the sisters. He is the reason they were captured. And he hardly fought at all when kind and sweet Elain was being forced into the Cauldron. Even with the woman he supposedly loved begging him to make it stop. Spoiled brat that he is.
Anyway.
Another very well written book. Great character and relationship development. Oh. Though we don't know much about him, I think Azriel is my favorite character.
