Twitter summary: A human girl kills a wolf, who turns out to be a faerie. A faerie high lord brings her to his land as payment. They fall in love and he sends her away to protect her. Yet, she comes back to save him…
The good: I wanted to re-read the series in preparation for A Court of Silver Flames that is being published in February 2021. Since I have yet to listen to the audiobooks and I’m still in a reading slump, I figured, “why not?” When listening to an audiobook, I am listening much slower than I read (I tend to skim read) and am grateful for the opportunity to just listen and be with the story. It was as good as I remembered when I first read this book years ago. I still have all the same feelings of wonder, of what is going to happen next. I still fell in love with Feyre and Tamlin — it’s easy to fall in love with who Tamlin is and how he is portrayed in this book. Also, maybe because I know ACOSF is being released soon, I have a new found appreciation for Nesta — this girl is a badass. I definitely picked up on so many Easter eggs… I definitely should read slowly.
The bad: The book did seem a bit juvenile now that I’m in my 30s however, still enjoyable and I was swept away with the story line.
Recommendation: I will always recommend a SJM book and thoroughly enjoyed the change of pace while listening to the audiobook. Jennifer Ikeda did a great job and I finally got the character name pronunciations correct!
