The first time I read this I'd loved it pretty unequivocally, and I'd been reading it on my own. This second time, I'd started buddy-reading it with a friend, whom unfortunately, I'm no longer speaking with. That person can finish it on their own, or not.

Going through this again made me realize that while I do still enjoy it better than the first two entries in the series, I have little tolerance for Feyre in the first 25% to 33% of the book. She suffers from a lot of the same shortcomings as Maas's other protagonists, particularly Aelin, in the sense that she is very full of herself and cocky in that chunk of the book, despite actually doing very little and making some rather poor judgment calls. (Sadly, the actual consequences get either deus ex machina'd or lampshaded throughout the course of the book.) 

I'm here primarily for Nesta, Elain, Cassian, Amren, Lucien and Jurian, as I feel that they have the best character work out of everyone in the book. Everyone else, eh. Take 'em or leave 'em. I will also say that going through this again, I now remember the brief introduction of Briar, and I don't recall her coming up again after she's handed to the Winter Court for safety's sake, so I'm curious to see if she'll be in any upcoming books.

Glad I finally got through this again.
