Reviews with content warning for Injury/Injury detail - A Court of Wings and Ruin

Holy guacamole! This book is so intense. This third installment of the ACOTAR series gave us a lot more political world building, which I absolutely loved. It does have a slower pace than the previous two books, and it feels like several stories in one. I can hardly believe the beginning is actually from the same book as the end. The slower pace and length gave me time to be occasionally frustrated with how the author chose to address characters and their flaws. I love Rhysand, but his self sacrificing attitude was not addressed as a flaw nearly as much as it should have been in the 700+ pages of this book (or throughout the series thus far). Nevertheless, the characters and their love for each other and their world was moving and kept me on the edge of my seat til the very end.

There's a lot of war in this book. I'm not a huge fan of it, but I was entertained when Feyre

made friends with 'monsters'.

Fearless as ever!

I feel like we didn't get enough of Rhysand, but maybe I am just being greedy because I want him in EVERY chapter.

SO MUCH DEATH! I got a bit teary-eyed and had to close the book for a few hours before I could open it up again. So many secrets were revealed too!

I can't believe I am saying this, but I can't dislike Tamlin anymore, not after what he did

for Rhysand

, that doesn't mean I like him! He said so many hurtful things!

This may be very unpopular, but I just couldn't stand Feyre's sisters. It was so hard to read when they came up because they were infuriating. Alas, they won me over in the end, but I don't necessarily love them.

What a great book, not sure what happens after this, seemed like a finale to me but I know there are more books to this series. I can't wait to read them!
