Much better than the first book of the series. The ending is what kept me interested in reading the third. That ending was really fun. Does anyone else have zero emotional attachment to Feyre and Rhysand? I like a lot of the side characters though. I think they’re more interesting…

But why isn’t she with Lucien? Tampon is gross. And annoying. Not a great start to the series.

The ending was not great. Anyone who knows a hoarder knows they don’t give things away. Idk it just didn’t seem relatable or realistic based on the whole first 3/4 of the book.
