I mean, shame on me. Anyway, I had to go back to re-read chapter 55 and since I was already reading that I sort of had to read the whole book. Still very much fun and I quite enjoyed it, and I stand with my previous opinion when I marked this book as the favourite in the series.
Original Ehm, I'm a bit worried that I read this in a day.
Yeah, it's better than the first book for numerous reasons. I rated the first one 3,5 stars (GOODREADS GIVE US HALF-STARS RATING!). This would be somewhere between 4 and 4,5 stars.
So a couple of things to say. First, Dark Swan is still my favourite fae series.
- "Bloomsbury Children's Books" - This is a bit ridiculous if you ask me. :D Same as that you can find these books in the children's section at my local library. And I just persuaded them that Anita Blake books should not be in the children's section. :D
-I disliked Tamlin in the first one, but you know what? I enjoyed disliking him in this one!
-I really liked Lucien in the first one, and he disappointed me in this one. Hopefully, in the next one, he will have a chance to redeem himself.
-I am even starting to like Feyre more. Which of course has very much to do with her surrounding, other characters and the fact that this book is more action-packed.
-If you know me, you know that I like bad guys. I like if a character is written in such a way that they as vicious and pretty sweet villains. So, yeah, I loved Rhys from the first one. And now I enjoyed that he was more present in the book. (view spoiler)[I see what the author did there! A bit of Shatter me? Adam = Tamlin; Warner = Rhys? I just hope that Rhys won't lose the slightly mean side of him! Please! Let him be a bit evil! (hide spoiler)]
-The new characters? Love, love. Morrigan is absolutely fabulous. I would kill for friends like Cassian and Azriel. And let just say that I would not like to stand in Amren's way.
-I was a bit annoyed by Elain after the first book but now? (view spoiler)[Being Lucien's mate? That's priceless. (hide spoiler)] But honestly, I still dislike the girl. I did not like Nesta when the series started, but at the end of the first book, I sort of started to get to her and now? I wanted her to punch Tamlin in his stupid face!
-I liked that the horrors of the first book were not forgotten. And (view spoiler)[Tamlin is absolutely deranged. Someone who was stuck under a mountain in a cell would obviously be thrilled at the idea of being locked in a house. Brilliant thinking. I knew that I did not like him! He was okay with Feyre saving them all, going out when it was more dangerous than now, but suddenly he wants a cute, little wifey. Bleh! (hide spoiler)]
-I definitely liked that there was more action, Feyre getting more on her feet and standing up for herself. I like where this is going, and the end was... wow. Did not see that coming! (view spoiler)[Talk about taking a break-up badly! (hide spoiler)]
-Btw, I lost count how many times someone vomited or mentioned vomiting! It's like... What is wrong with SJM? :D :D
-And I'm telling you, my hand is itching towards the next book.
-Well done, SJM, I was not sure about you. I'm not a fan of Throne series but yeah... This one works for me....more

So, I checked out if it was already out but NO. :( I have to wait till October. So I had to re-read all Ian scenes in the whole series. And since this one is pretty much with Ian everywhere, I read it whole. :D It's a bit sad that this is not a whole book, more of a short story or novelette but I still find it to be the best one it the whole series. :D Except for the end that was way too cheezy. Hopefully, we will get Ian like that in his own series, and he won't turn into an idiot without personality except for being obsessed with their love.
Há :D konečně jsem se dočkala :D Konečně tam skoro pořád byl Ian. :D...more
