Regardless, Alessandra knows what she deserves, and she's going to do everything within her power to get it. Although not friendly, there is a wall separating their two worlds, and on the human side of the wall, there is Feyre. So thank you, Tricia, for giving the big eff you to the more popular theme of changing morally grey characters to white flags of peace and generosity. The world-building is intricate, with lore, prophecies, and ancient traditions shaping characters’ choices.

Jude, a mortal, is thrust into the deadly politics of the faerie world when her parents are murdered, and their killer raises her. I'm so over the shocked girls who have no idea why people think that they are pretty or don't want to be in the situation 'cause they just want a nice simple life. I could ask a million questions about why Alessandra felt the need to kill Hektor, why she feels virtually no remorse, why she thinks wooing the Shadow King into making her his queen then killing him is a good plan… my list of questions could really go on and on. She just came across like a jerk who sometimes made suggestions that other characters found to be smart.
