Rereading this. Not quite sure why. Mostly so I can reassess. So far, I am noticing SJM’s lack of originality when it comes to her writing style way more than I did 8 years ago. It’s kinda ridiculous to realise that her vocabulary has always been this weak and she hasn’t grown as a writer in all that time. But I admit I’m hooked and it’s quite entertaining to read. But yikes, the toxic masculinity. 😐

While waiting for my holds to come in, this seemed like an easy pick, since it was available on audio 😅 I won’t deny that I find these books entertaining (at least the OG trilogy) despite Feyre being annoying & the writing being… not that great 😅 This is my third time reading it, so jot that down as “guilty pleasure” I guess

Took you long enough to figure it out, Feyre, didn't it? Jeesh, for someone as resourceful as her I'd expected her to solve that riddle in minutes.

Rhys is such a dick. Ugh. As an atagonist he is brilliant, but as a character? Ew.

*sigh* Not as good as Heir of Fire, but damn this book is cute. It feels like a fluffy, smutty fanfic with a plot. But I wouldn't say no to some shared povs.

Lucien is the best (and funniest) wingman of all time and no one can convince me otherwise!

Of course I did not take Tilly's advice and wait in stead of starting this book right after finishing Heir of Fire... but I love Maas' style too much as to be patient. Loving Lucien the most right now.
