I wanted to really hate this but I didn't. It had A LOT of flaws.

Feyre is really annoying. And utterly stupid (and not because she can't read). Like, how dim do you have to be to not think there was something else going on here?

And, same as all the dark fairy tales, I always have a problem with the fetishisation of male violence and brutality as sexy.

But (and despite it basically being a book about sexy overpowering males) I found it highly readable and didn't want to put it down.

You could write a list of the tales that it has been 'inspired' by (Beauty and the Beast, The little Mermaid, Twilight just to name a few) and despite the multiple problems with all of those stories, I like them too.
