Dec 2020 update:
Going back and rereading this after being caught up in the series is such a different feeling, catching the hints and reading between the lines. Knowing the characters and the why. An insider rather then an outsider.
Also I never realized that this reread was almost 5 years later.

If you are a lover of Beauty and the Beast retellings, if you like your fantasy to involve magical realms, fairies, romance, a wickedness that is just too good then you'll enjoy this book.

11/25/23 — update, rereading the series for CC3. 3 star rating! I think ACOTAR is SJMs weakest series. Can’t wait to see how CC3 goes 😅🥹 (also looking at my previous rating.. poor summer child thought this was YA lmao)
4.5.
Was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed this book so much. I usually shy away from YA, however I’m not even sure if I would categorize this entirely as YA since the main character is 19 and it gets a bit spicy. The novel is slow in the beginning but the author does a great jo ...more

2/5🌶
this is a very well-done book and on paper i would have loved it. and although it was super enjoyable, there was a degree to which i couldn’t get immersed in the story - maybe it’s because i know who Feyre ends up with (thanks, Booktok) or because I’ve yet to find and stick to an image of what Rhysand looks like, or maybe it’s because my last book was very emotionally taxing, i’m not sure.
but either way, this story was so original, fast-paced, and well-written i’ll definitely be contin ...more

You know someone once compared this book to a retelling of Beauty and the Beast and honestly thats what stuck to me when I read it and I think it ruined it for me. If I were to re-read this now that I've read the whole series I know I would love it. It's not a retelling by any means. But I did have a harder time with this one, it felt slow to build. But by the end I enjoyed the plot twists and the characters.

She always manages to create the perfect male characters that i end up falling for. Rhysand is my love
