god this book was so bad

i dunno what y’all tiktok girlies are on this book was trash

from beginning to end there is no plot and the character are annoying. SJM has recycled the characters of Throne of Glass and put them in pretty much the same situation. but this time she has also recycled every fairytale she can think of. Feyre is in a cinderella situation in the beginning and then in a beauty and the beast kidnap stockholm syndrome situation and then yet again is playing cinderella. 

She for some reason is in love with a walking red flag #TamelinHateClub who from the beginning was terrible to her. 

Yet again SJM doesn’t give her characters any Wants which means the whole book has no goal or plot and the characters are wishy washy. Feyre’s main want was to protect her family but that’s essentially immediately solved when Tamelin guarantees he’s taking care of them and then she forgets they exist and then remembers again but he reassures her and this happens over and over for no reason.

Her familial situation makes 0 sense. She is the youngest and yet her siblings and father treat her like trash and refuse to help even though they are literally starving poor.

People constantly assume she knows things but she’s an idiot and they also don’t tell her anything. But the whole curse revolves around her. She also couldn’t figure out The Easiest riddle I have ever heard.

Also she’s coming for Lea Michelle’s brand by not being able to read which was such an odd plot point. 

I absolutely hate that she paints and all of her “paintings” sound like little kid fingerpaints or like that girl you went to high school with who is now trying to make some money on the side by “painting pictures of you with your friends”. She thinks she’s an artist. Literally no one has asked her to paint them. Painter girl is the equivalent of guitar guy, she always talks about painting people but no one asked. 

the spicy scenes were bizarre and were actually just straight up sexual assault and harassment.

what the hell is up with the worm tho

My one and only favorite thing was when she found out there was actually people in the Spring Court mansion and they could see her this whole time but she was tip toeing around like a fool.
