At no point in this book was I surprised or intrigued. Neither the plot nor the characters are developed well, and a good book needs at LEAST one. Full of cliches and things I've seen before, down to the curse feeling like a Beauty and the Beast rip-off, and Rhysand's use of body paint being taken straight from The Mummy movie. Just a bunch of things I've seen before, and liked better elsewhere.
I read this because I heard the second book was interesting and I was generally curious about the hype, but goddamn does booktok need to find better material to gush over. Not a single character in this book felt like a real person and that made it really difficult to care about anything, much less a mediocre plot. And it must be said that Feyre makes for an unpleasant narrator.
