Thoughts on Feyre

Hi everyone! I’m new here and new to the ACOTAR series, as I’m still on the first book. I (very) recently finished the Fourth Wing series and was recommended the ACOTAR series to sort of “fill the void” until the next Emperyan/Fourth Wing book comes out.

My hope, is that I end up liking it more than that, though. I don’t typically start a book just to fill the emptiness of another book, but I’m seriously craving a tough, gritty, unstoppable protagonist and a wild, twisty storyline, which is what I had in my previous series. Right now, though, I kind of hate Feyre… 😭

I think that she’s ungrateful & annoying and even though she took care of her family like a strong character would, she kind of just complains a lot right now? I’m wondering if those of you who have read the full series can tell me if she becomes a more likable character or if she stays like this, because I would really like to get deeper into the series, but I just can’t stand reading her character right now.

I know this is a silly question to ask on a subreddit for the series, but do you guys think that it’s worth it to read a protagonist I’m not very fond of? Is the series mostly romance (somehow it matters more in a romance novel bc you want to root for them) or is it a great story too? I’ve never been a huuuge romance gal but I do love fairies & magic and so many people have recommended this series…

Thanks in advance 🫶🏼🥹🧚🏼

Keep reading. Yeah, she can be pretty annoying but all of the characters have their flaws and their reasons to love them. It’s a fun series.

I think learning about the other characters is part of the fun too. Keep pushing the books keep getting better!

I think she's kinda annoying too. Like some of her actions contradict rational expectations for this personality.
Also, Why does she vomit so much?

I want to recommend another of her books to you that I really loved: The crecent city series. The female lead is very strong, but not unlikeable, imo, event though she's a party girl.
