It’s just very mid. It’s SO YA that it’s annoying. This was a struggle to finish and I don’t know why people like it so much. I get that book one is slow and I came into it knowing it wasn’t a fav for the fans of the series even…. But this was an absolute struggle to finish. I hated the MC, absolutely hated her and all her woe as me bullshit. I don’t know if I’ll manage to get into book two or not…. ( )

3.5 stars The first 3/4 of the book was great but the "action" part fell flat for me. ( )

Sort of Georgette Heyer meets Laurel Hamilton. Spunky girl gets thrown into the household of a nobleman, who she initially despises. Eventually nature takes its course and the two hook up. Except the setting is a quasimedieval England fantasy world and the nobleman is Fae. Said spunky heroine, Feyre, gets all sorts of good advice about how to behave in the fairy world and promptly ignores it, leading to dramatic rescues by her Fae inamorata, Tamlin. Four more novels in the series which I will have to read to satisfy my OCD. ( )

Grunhindo devido ao peso, peguei as pernas da
corça e dei uma última olhada para a carcaça
fumegante do lobo. O olho dourado que lhe
restava encarava o céu, agora carregado de neve,
e, por um momento, desejei ter capacidade de
sentir remorso por sua morte.
Mas aquilo era a floresta, e era inverno.

I actually enjoyed this more than I thought I would. It’s still a little more romance than what I usually read so that took some getting used to, but I’m not actually hating the story. It does suck that my library doesn’t carry this book, yet I also don’t want to but it…I read this because I just wanted to know what all the hype was about ngl- also, my friends raved about this. ( )
