It took me forever to read this, first of all, because of finals and graduation season, but I made it (barely) and I'm here (maybe).

This dang book, y'all... I seriously have no words. I want to scream and shout and let it all out when I figure out what "it" is. This book made me feel all the feels; I felt bipolar for a minute because of how quickly the emotions were coming and how intense everything was. I was hooked for all 624 pages of this book, but I am going to need to recover from this experience. I need some time hahaha.

On a real note, because this book was pretty much spoiled for me on TikTok and such, I had an interesting reading experience. I was able to see the hints of where the story was going, which were so well-crafted. For example, in the beginning of the book when Feyre is pretty much dying at the Spring Court and symbolically flying free in the Night Court. Maas did so well in making the reader hate Tamlin like Feyre did and despise the smell of him in the end like she did. I was completely floored by this experience. Going to read/finish a couple more books before picking up ACOWAR.

Much better than book one, world building, characters, tropes and plot twists were better fleshed out.
Still not ground breaking in 2022 and still not faire porn.  

If  I have to read 55 chapters for 10 pages of barely smut, its just a normal fantasy romance, I wanted more about the war, the wall, the magic system and feyre's father dying and sisters getting engaged and turned into fae themsevles.

It's mostly  fantasy romance  that's easy to digest and annotate.

Okay, I’m my ACOTSR review I didn’t have the full scope of Tamlin or Rhys: I now completely agree with the general public opinion. Tamlin is just such

a gaslighting, controlling bastard!!!  And to think that Feyre would willingly stay with him when he continues to trap her, control her, and smother her until she’s caving in on herself!? Ugh. Such a bastard. <spoiler/> now, Rhysand on the other hand: is such a sweet, damaged baby. When Tamlin failed to recognize that Feyre had severe PTSD from the experience, Rhys did, and he’s the one that took steps to help her heal from that. Tamlin just ignored it, saying that he was dealing with his own shit. Well guess what, Rhys has 50x more trauma from the experience than Tamlin, so he actually understands what Feyre is going to though.

And then he wonders why Feyre ends up with Rhys. Smh. <spoiler\>
