Honestly, I get the hype of these books. This one was really addictive, however, it is a slow start because there's just so much being thrown out there, so much world-building, and it's just setting up so much. Granted this was like my second attempt at reading this series and I went down the audiobook route and not just an audiobook it was a dramatized version, and it was just so good. Definitely get the dramatized version if there's ever an option. Anyway, if I had to describe this book it's definitely Beauty and the Beast inspired meets Hunger Games. I'm not sure Hunger Games is the best route but I'm thinking the game portion where it's life and death and competing in trials because that's what Feyre is eventually forced to go through. I really loved this one and it was so hard to put down.
