The character development is questionable, guys... But, fine, I'll buy it. I still don't like any of them, but I'll bite. (Correction: I liked Amren, I think.) Regardless, I still can't really get behind the storyline – everything feels sooooo contrived (and yeah, fine, it's a fantasy novel, so I guess that's how that goes, but idk... I've been sold on some bullshit before and I was fine with it).
It took me about a year to work up the motivation to read this one after the first book (which I also thought was a little meh), and I'm glad I waited because THE DRAMA is overbearing and I found myself in need of a shower by the end of it. I became darkness and shadow and mist or whatever. More accurately, I became dirt and grime and dust.
I imagine it'll be about another year before I get to the next one (which I heard isn't as good?? Oh boy!), and until then... I need to do some real soul searching: Do I even like fantasy? Do I low key kinda want someone to kill Feyre? Am I rooting for the death of the human realm? Would I have loved this series as a teenager or would I have be equally skeptical about the flimsy storyline and the sexy-savior-in-white allegory that's been done a hundred thousand times... (side note: speaking of that, Greta Gerwig is remaking the Chronicles of Narnia movie – neat).
Anyways. I'll reconsider in a few days when I'm not sleep deprived. But on the bright side, I finally finished a book for the first time in 3 months! Huzzah!
