I had several of my book friends all but hassle me into reading this book, and all I can say is THANK YOU!

I bought this series about a month ago but hadn't touched it after having read some iffy reviews. People seemed to either love it or hate it. I figured I'd get to it at some point. I saw it popping up in my Instagram feed constantly, and the more people I saw reading and raving about it, the more I knew I had to push it to the front of my TBR.

I knew it was fantasy, knew it was YA, and I knew it was romance. What I encountered is not what I expected. I loved the creativity behind the concept of this story. The world of faeries and mythical creatures existing in some way with humans was pure magic.

What I adored most is what Tamlin and Feyre learned from one another. Their hatred for those not like their kind was able to bloom into love, kindness, and generosity. Together, they take that love and allow it to overcome the evil that faces to destroy the new world they've been building for a brighter future.
