Oh my lord, finally. After 16 hours of listen I completed it!!

After hearing it was a retelling of beauty and the beast, I thought yeh okay it'll be good. But oh no, this was great. The way the world was shaped and created around Feyre, you could feel it surround you as you got deeper and deeper into the world.
The characters were well plotted, shining their flaws as well as their good qualities making them even more so relatable.
The sex scenes in the book I believe weren't necessary but at the same time added a depth and a sense of reality in the plot, making it a challenging love between man and woman not an easy love story between a noble man and his love interest.

Also thinking back on it now, the plot of beauty and the beast tied in nicely with this adaptation. A curse - revealed later in the book, the killing of Amarantha (our gaston for the Disney lovers) right at the end BUT with a twist of immortality in the world of Prithhean.

Overall just very very good I loved it, I'm not going to try and find the second book
