Update (09.17.19)
4th read, and first time checking out the audiobook. Ikeda's narration is flawless for Feyre and this was honestly the most fun read-through of the first book I've had so far.

Update (12.26.17)
I've just finished my 3rd read, and while I can fully recognize that this book isn't nearly on par with its sequel, I don't think I could fathom ever lowering the rating below 5 stars. This book, when I first read it, was my first real foray back into YA fantasy and fae stories, after a several-year-long hiatus (mostly imposed by a controlling/abusive ex who convinced me I was "too old" for YA). It reminded me why I loved the genre and missed it so much, and gave me back what I had missed for so long: the ability to totally lose myself in a book, a series, a fandom. I can never devalue what Maas did for me with ACOTAR.

Of course, the writing isn't what her later writing has proven itself to be as she improves, but the depiction of a relationship that's less than it seems, as well as the fierce bravery and wit that Feyre exhibits in the final third of the story? I love it. I love wild, broken little Rhysand and everything he is for her. I love Lucien's wit and snark, and the way, when push comes to shove, he proves his friendship and loyalty (to a fault, sometimes). I love meeting all of the other fae - especially gossip-y little Suri, dishing out tea all over the place - and I love the entire world of Prythian, with its courts and struggles and in-fighting and secrets.

I'm probably never going to write a full review for this book, because by this point, I'd just be fangirling for ages about a book most of you have already read, but I wanted to finally put words on paper for how utterly grateful I am that this series gave me back something that I had missed so tremendously.
