Most characters, human and faerie, have suffered terrible losses in the centuries of warfare; physical and emotional scars are everywhere.

Families can talk about stories that put their heroes in impossible situations, where all their available choices have terrible costs.Feyre is fearful that the Fae are responsible and that things must be terribly wrong in the Spring Court, so she decides to go back.

It was just Nesta apologizing to everyone because she realized everyone ** hated her guts and she had no one to go to. The two main points in the story that I remember is where she drinks wine and is happy; the other occasion where she doesn’t remember anything. Feyre tells Tamlin that she made a promise to her mother before she died that she would take care of her family, and she does so by hunting to keep food on the table and money in their pockets. Yes it was amazing getting insight into his thoughts and Maas’s writing style easily adopted this dual perspective. I am fairly mature (or at least more mature than my 17 year old sibling) and I thought this book was fine.Do I wish my daughter's never had to know or experience the most unpleasant side of of sexism and objectification? Night after night, he has her dressed the same way and uses magic to force her to dance provocatively for him in front of everyone. Narrator/protagonist Feyre may sometime bog things down in internal hand-wringing, and an occasional anachronistic howler creeps into the dialogue. I have never minder having frank conversations with her (even at 11/12) about sex, but provided explanation, guidance and clear expectations about what sex is and is not.
