I'm not sure what more can be said about this than has already been said. It is not a re-telling of Beauty and the Beast. There are definite similarities, but if you go into it with that mindset, you will be frustrated and disappointed. It is a magical love story with a slightly irritating but redeemable female lead. I appreciated Feyre's faults, most of which result from the way that she was raised and had to provide for her family, but at times they made her a bit annoying.

I don't really understand the fan affection for Rhys, but I guess that will come with the next book?
Many have already commented that this is not her best-written work, but I do see the potential and I am excited to pick up the second book in the series.

TW: death; violence; sexual content (Pg-13 ish)
