Worst book I've read this year (and in a long time). The beginning was captivating, but then the story started dragging and I didn't manage to get my interest back again. Amarantha's riddle was so easy and predictable, I had no reason to root for Feyre as her fate was obvious. I didn't like her personality either — she either was a cold-blooded killer or a damsel sacrificing herself for everyone. The romance felt forced, as it was so heavily rooted in the circumstances: Feyre has no one else, so obviously she's going to fall for her captor. The faes' animalistic traits and centuries of age were huge turn-offs, and ruined even the little moments of romance I genuinely wanted to like.

All in all, not a book for me, and even though Feyre's future and the contract have piqued my curiosity, I won't be touching the sequels as this book already made me suffer enough.
