There were things I rolled my eyes at, but I still think this is a 4star read. I have actually finished the Series and have so many thoughts. I originally rated this book as 5 stars but took it down to 4. This and the last book (Silver Flames) were my least fav simply for the sexual content. It is not something I felt comfortable reading at work. Books 2,3,4 were MUCH better in that department.
Let's get into the book...
I really did enjoy the development of Feyre and Tamlin. But, what I enjoyed more was Feyre and Lucien's friendship. I hope their friendship continues to develop and they become siblings by choice. I really hope that's the direction the author takes them.
While Under the Mountain we meet other characters. Rhysand is one that I thought we HAVE to see more of in future installments. The friendship that started between Feyre and Tamlin's enemy is intriguing. He and Lucien both helped her. Each in their own way. One more than the other, but they still risked themselves to do so.
Feyre's family... I know this is a story but I don't like them and would be glad to not see them in future books.
Two last things...
I Honestly think this book could've been TWO separate stories. Maybe short stories but still. It was kinda like reading two books. Although, I guess maybe not. Because it would be Before the Mountain and During. Hmm. Anyway.
Lastly,
The characters, not just the “main” ones, are so well written I can also see them in my head as I read. (It's something I do. Envision the characters based on descriptions and writing). I can see them and their personalities. That is some great writing to me. When I can visualize characters, even minor ones.
