but the pace of the plot, started off quite slow and me waiting patiently for something to make me interested ani felt like overall, it's a nice book.
but the pace of the plot, started off quite slow and me waiting patiently for something to make me interested and then near the end of the book, it just seems rushed (but then again, i kinda understand why it felt slow because of that one bit where they try and find the fae lands)? like, the romance in here, i felt the FMC and the love interest could've even been off as friends if it wasn't for the obvious black hair and oh so handsome features, dark luscious smile, the aura, you get the vibe. i know she was convincing herself not to fall in love but it felt as if though she actually wasn't going to the path of love and then a little more than half-way through the book they get together.
it just felt a bit too forced. and the amount of doing it was just packed together. don't get me wrong, it's hella spicy and no complaints but near the end all the detailed smut every chapter was not it for me, just felt too forced. it just made it seem like, 'oh, they have to be in love so let's just put all of the spicy scenes in one go so it's impactful'.
and for a fantasy book, i thought the names were a bit too 'modern' (if you get what i mean) rather than fantasy-like? but didn't really mind much because i could actually pronounce the names in my head whilst reading instead of wondering if i was saying the names right.
and on the good side, the character banters was quite funny, i really liked all of the side characters and the book started off really strong. also the cover's gorgeous, delilah really is a strong character.
(view spoiler)[ also when the best friend easton died out of nowhere i was like, what is happening?? because i was wondering why the whole emphasis on easton and delilah being platonic soulmates and the slow pace of showing every single interaction of them together: and just for him to die off nearly at 20 something percent through the book like what :DDD (hide spoiler)]...more
"The first time I saw that look on your face, you were still human. Still human, and I nearly went to my knees before you."
DNF, could NOT take enough "The first time I saw that look on your face, you were still human. Still human, and I nearly went to my knees before you."
DNF, could NOT take enough of Nesta's bullsheets

What I liked about this book: - Meeting one of my favourite couple Rhysand and Feyre again - .....?
Now, what I did NOT like about this book: - Nesta's attitude killing me the whole way because she thinks she owns the world - The Inner Circle characters having a whole 360 turn of character development? My respect for all the characters now ...more
