We finally find out what is really going on and the truth of the curse, and things get serious for Feyre as she takes matters into her own hands to save Tamlin and his world of butterflies. Once we get past the lovey-dovey, falling in love phase, things finally start to get interesting. I also didn't like the subtle signs of insta-love from Tamlin, who grits his teeth when he asks Feyre if she is in love with anyone (on her first day at his manor). So yeah, the whole romance thing with these two was a drag to get through. Niceguy who has a temper that only applies to the villains of the story. I was totally robbed of an awesome, bitter Beast who could have warmed up to conflicting feelings of love. It was really hard to swoon over Tamlin when all he made me think about was Aslan the lion from Narnia. A vapid beast, who is oh-so-kind-and-courteous nothing but a gracious host to our feisty heroine who hates his guts for a few pages. He is a handsomely-masked dude with the hair and build of a model. And I think that is partly due to Tamlin's blahness. There was zero chemistry between Tamlin and Feyre. I wouldn't have minded the romance as the main plot if it hadn't been so stale. I don't know if this is intentional or not, but the romance between Tamlin and Feyre takes center stage, leaving the dark, interesting and mysterious fae world doom and gloom curse as a meager subplot.

Except it rolls down a rather flat hill, and it doesn't pick up until past the midway point. She skewers a wolf for its pelt and then a fae beast-man comes to take her to the world of the faeries as payment for it.

The beginning started out great, with a kick-butt Katniss-I mean, Feyre, hunting and providing sustenance for her useless father and sisters. And that everybody likes to constantly respond with nonchalant shrugs. Or lines that make you want to gag and roll your eyes: 'You look lovely,' Tamlin murmured, and something in his soft tone made me want to purr. Or the repeated use of strange expressions: My insides turned watery. Like the fact that people breathe words throughout the whole book: 'Please,' I breathed. Except for a few things that irked my Inner Nazi. The remaining story was a much better 4-5 stars, so I'll settle with a rating of 3.The writing, as mentioned by most readers, is really good.

Any additional comments? The first half of the book was a boring 2 stars. I think the second half of the book is redeeming enough to make it worth the listen.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Yes. I REALLY thought I was going to love this one.
