This title in the series had a much better edition however the language of "breeding" and "mate" in this series is a bit uncomfortable. I understand that the author is trying to convey that some sects of the fae feel like sexual assault is just animalistic and part of their old ways, but I feel that Feyre has a right to call it what it is, that the author has the right to call it what it truly is.

The use of mate as an animalistic term but also as soul mate, feels awkward. I can't put forth a suggestion for an alternative word for them to use though since twin flame is language initiated by a cult. I do think that one deserves better language though because of the authors choice to have it be an intense sexual/spiritual bond that seems to supercedes marriage, that is stronger than that but doesn't always have love involved since those ties can be with abusive people but it seems to be defined by fate alone.

Outside of that, so far this is my favorite title. I love that Feyre is getting so much self reflection, of the toxic situation she had been in, through being treated as if she has choices and rights. In many ways, this book makes up for the big moral flaws in the first book. She learns to heal and grow past her PTSD through trust, friends, and giving up the stubborn will of bottling everything up. It's slow, but I enjoyed this one, predictable as it may be, because of the crew that Rhys keeps.

I love that these characters can admit when they've done wrong, work on finding mutual solutions, while also showing that sometimes bad situations come from good intentions and it doesn't necessarily make you bad as long as you are willing to learn from it.
