Reread May 2020
AAAAH this book. This series.
All those terrible things that happen. I also forgot about some of the saddest parts.
I cried. Multiple times. I also didn’t want the story (Everlark!!!) to end.
I am VERY curious about the prequel about Snow. And I’m secretly hoping there are going to follow more prequels. The Hungergames from other victors, history about Panem, its origins, about the Dark Days and I would even like a sequel.
There are just so much more stories to tell in the world of Panem!! And I want to read and know them ALL!!

Reread May 2020:
This series is soooo fun to read. I mean, it reads fluent, it’s funny, the storyline is good, it contains Greek mythology, ...
I could just keep on rereading.
But I’m rereading with the purpose of FINALLY getting to the Heroes of Olympus.

This book was interesting.
The storyline was good, it reads very fluent. The pacing was sometimes a bit slow, but I didn’t really mind.
From the beginning of the book, you can see how Snow is going to turn out in an evil 80-year old, he already shows his manipulative sides, his full support for the Capitol, how he feels like he/it’s above the districts.
Now it’s also obvious why he hates district 12 so much and the fact that Katniss ends up being “the Mockingjay” is quite ironic.
I liked how many of the names were recognisable from the trilogy.
I also liked the Covey and how they got their names. Also the song of Lucy Gray and her ending was quite nicely done.
I don’t know what to think about the evolution of the Hungergames itself. I mean, they are pretty cruel in this book. But isn’t even more cruel the way they were in the trilogy? All those people rooting for children to kill eachother, even training the children and romanticising their stories?
Lucy Gray wasn’t going to be bothered by the Capitol, while with victors from later Hungergames... their games never truly ended.
I do still want to know how Tigris’ story went further. How did she end up/become a woman who sells furry underwear and how did her relationship with Coriolanus end up on such bad terms?

Reread June 2020: I actually liked this book more than I did the first time. Maybe it’s because I’m looking forward to rereading ACOMAF and because I already know what’s coming?
May 2019: I still don’t know what to think about this book. It was as I feared/expected, yet another retelling of beauty and the beast. And then those sex-scenes... They were totally unnecessary and didn’t add at all to the story. Although Feyre was a badass, in the end she still did it all for a guy. But, even when you know it’s going to work out in the end, it was still pretty exciting at times, especially at the end when she went underneath the mountain.
I’m probably still going to read the next books. I want to know how Feyre experiences her new powers in combination with her human heart (aka PTSD from what she experienced and what she did). I’d also like to know more about Rhys. He seems interesting.
The writing was good though. It reads very fluently and I like the writing-style; the formulation and the use of words.

June 2020: I’m still in love with this book. And I’m still in love with Feysand.
June 2019: I LOVED this book. It is sooooo much better than the first one.
Feyre, what happened to her in the first book, has not broken her. It has made her an incredible strong woman.
And I love Rhys so much. He is the perfect partner for her.
I really like their relationship and the way they support eachother.
I liked Tamlin in the first book. I didn’t like him as much in this book and he definitely made some terrible mistakes and choices. But in this book he was represented as the devil himself. That was a bit too much.

June 2020: I liked this book even better now than the first time I read it???
Feysand is my all time favourite book-couple.
June 2019: All though the second book was incredible, I enjoyed this book as well.
I liked how they build up to the climax, the war. I also liked the ending, they didn’t make it seem like it’s all sunshine and roses. They showed the pain and the horror of war.
And I still love the relationship between Feyre and Rhys.
