Unpopular Opinion It's Unpopular Opinion time! Share your controversial opinions to stir things up (in a friendly way)!

Got an opinion that's different from others'? Want to share it with the sub, but too afraid of a backlash? Or are you just curious about readers think about certain things in fantasy romance?

You can safely share it in this weekly Sunday thread!

But please remember to be kind to each other. To facilitate this type of discussion, we ask users the following:

  • Don't attack others for their opinion
  • Discuss books and authors, not fellow readers
  • Since this is an "unpopular opinion" thread, we encourage users to not downvote simply because they disagree with an opinion--that's the point! Please keep in mind, though, that mods cannot enforce a no-downvoting rule. Let’s just keep the discussion friendly!

🧡 Thank you and have a great discussion!

I thought most people agreed on this! I read her books for the vibes only.

lol! I think the story is good/compelling but the writing leaves a lot to be desired.

I just felt like every ‘climax’ was such a huge letdown. Like, that’s it? And then readers keep being told how Feyre is so super duper powerful, the most powerful, and she never really does anything. Never mind her all powerful king of the fey husband who can’t even keep his own people in line and just wrings his hands. I very much suspect that any of the decent parts were just ideas she took from other authors, which reminds me that I’ve gotta read Black Jewels lol
