3.5 stars. Or maybe just 3 stars? I donaEUR(tm)t really know, IaEUR(tm)m feeling generous because I liked the ending but the first half of this book was 3 stars max. 
 I liked this book, but it was kind of a hot mess. AKA: please be warned, IaEUR(tm)m gonna trash some shit that other people seem to like. 
 I was nervous going into this because I REALLY didnaEUR(tm)t like Throne of Glass. Celaena remains one of the most vapid and annoying protagonists IaEUR(tm)ve ever read, and I was worried Feyre would be similar. BUT I neednaEUR(tm)t have worried, I actually liked Feyre quite a lot! She was mature, confident, and extremely strong-willed. 
 The beginning of the book felt a bit cliche, almost like a mashup of Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast with some mild Katniss vibes thrown into the mix. It was interesting enough, though, and I liked reading about FeyreaEUR(tm)s family and her dedication to providing for them. Side note: Nesta is low-key my favorite character. It seems like a lot of people trash her and I donaEUR(tm)t get it ?? Like she may not have been very nice, but she had a pretty badass "don't fuck with me or my crew" attitude that I was VERY down with. Pushover charactersaEUR"and real people, letaEUR(tm)s be honestaEUR"are one of my biggest pet peeves and Nesta doesn't take anybody's shit and I love her ok tangent over that is all
