HOLY SHIT! WHAT A SUPRISE. 
 after hating the first book I almost didn't take a chance on reading this. I told myself when I pickedit up that it couldn't be worse than the first one but I never expected that I would actually end up loving it. 
 first of all! I love how the book dealt with the aftermath and ptsd from the first novel. It really irks me when fantasy novel gloss over shit like this. 
 I also loved how it addressed the concept of toxic relationships and consent. In the first book I didn;t like Tamlin, I didn't hate him but he just had the typical stand offish and controlling character that plagues YA literature. Rys was an interesting character but no matter how he help Feyre at the end of the first book I found it hard to excuse all his other behaviour. I loved how he took responsibility for his actions in the second novel and also gave Feyre the choice, he never forced her to do anything and that is probably the most important thing to eclispe this novel. That being said the whole cottage/ stealing the ring scene pissed me right off.
