Man this book is long. However, the ending does pick up the pace and leave you with a cliffhanger. It’s definitely better than the first one, although the writing style is still annoyingly repetitive (everyone “clicks their tongue” or “jerks their chin” or looks “feral” or “had the good sense to look scared” every other page,, and Feyre’s still acting shocked when she sees things made of bones even though half the villain architecture is made of bones). It’s kind of like trash reality TV. I’m rolling my eyes at half the stuff they say but it’s entertaining enough that I will still read the next 700 page book lol. 

I usually found Feyre to be overdramatic, but my favorite part of this book was how much she processed her past relationship with Tamlin. While the book overall felt too long, I liked that her transition from Tamlin to Rhys didn’t feel rushed.
