I was curious to see what another Fae story would bring, and this one has been highly regarded by my friends.

I really enjoyed the book, telling the story of a human girl in a word where humanity has been throughly been exploited, mistreated and scorned throughout history and now has been left to their own devices through a fickle border. Starved and fighting for survival, while stories of terrifying faerie beasts on the other side of the wall who are cruel and indulgent and infinitely better off then them circulate.

Feyre wasn’t much of a Mary-Sue in that she had doubts, struggles with guilt and loyalty, but also illiteracy. However she also has genuine interests and passions that she could never act on before due to the leechings of her family. The struggle about this was quite interesting

I was glad to see her whisked away from the mortal realm, even if the weeks that followed with her captor were less beauty and the beast and more just angry girl vs kinda reasonable stoic guy. The story was a lot spicier then expected, but honestly more spice would’ve been nice
