Lame second trial. Pull one of three levers.

"bowels turned watery" for the third time this book.
What's this supposed to mean?

Feyra goes home, family is rich beyond belief, Nesta couldn't be glamoured so she knows the truth. Cool character change with Nesta and Elain. However, very short lived and pages later Feyra somehow finds a way back to Spring Court? Show, don't tell...

"Who wants someone around who's so covered in thorns?"
"Thorns?"
"Thorny. Prickly. Sour. Contrary."

This seems so forced, like when a movie character says the name of the film. Out of the blue.

The only previous mention of this was chapters ago where Feyra gets pricked by a rose thorn and bleeds, then Tamlin heals her with magic, removes the thorns, and puts the dethorned rose in her hair.

SPOILER: Tamlin learns Feyre can't read, so he shows her his "enormous, opulent study. Tomes lined each wall like the soldiers of a silent army..." He's gonna teach her!
However, if this book is written from first-person illiterate Feyre's perspective, why such flowery language? How? It's present tense, so even a transcription of her thoughts doesn't make sense with a rugged life devoid of literacy.
