My Review

I've heard a lot about this series both positive and negative, but a colleague at work lent me her box set of the whole series, with a positive recommendation so I thought - why not!?
A lot of people I have spoken to have said that book 1 is quite slow, but I found myself hooked from early on and I read it all in a day once I'd got started. I really enjoyed the world that was created and I came to like the characters. I like the idea of the masks and the 'blight' on the land that was taking magic and causing chaos. Tamlin is a great lead character, but I actually found myself wanting to know more about Lucien. Feyre is a flawed, yet strong female lead and I actually really liked her, she wasn't too cliche or whiny and I look forward to seeing where this journey takes her next.
The book was giving me serious 'beauty and the beast' vibes but in a charming way, and with enough differences and twists to keep me interested.
I will definitely be devouring book 2 tomorrow.
