The writing is exhausting, ridiculous, and petulant. I don't have enough energy to read about narcissistic wet dreams.

I should not be handling tableware while listening to this...

Why is everyone talking about Batman, if there's Lucien? The audiobook has a fun clunky mechanical zoom whenever Lucien focuses on something. In my mind's eye he's a mad scientist of steampunk descent with a Pirates of the Carribean telescope nailed to his eye.

I can't boil rice while the faeries are having an orgy party and Feyre meets Batman. Sounds like a deepfake.

This is my dishwashing audiobook. What is even happening? The voice actors keep growling in my ear and I don't know what to feel. I drowned in the redundancy, but somehow it slaps as a household chore companion. Maybe it's the LotR vibe sound effects but my dishwater bubbles up cutely at the moody rhetoric.

The only way I'm reading this book is by listening to the dramatised adaptation audiobook. Audio visuals make it sound like a D&D session, book descriptions are very emo tho. Why are the fairies and Feyre pissy about the wrong things all the time instead of asking the right essential questions? It reads like someone's wet dream.
