This book gave me so much satisfaction- the plotting and revenge are beautiful to me, regardless of consequences. Another masterpiece.

Amazing! Second favorite in the series now, mist and fury being first. It is more plot and war based than character based which I didn’t think I would love as much as I did. I’m not one for battle scenes, reading them can be tough to get through, but I loved these. They were so descriptive and made me feel like I was watching it through a screen. Didn’t think war would be one of my favorite things about the book but the writing was just perfect. And the character building; even with less character building focus, it was amazing. It was found family mixed with actual blood family and it was beautiful. Amazing

this books was GAS! i loved it so much. the middle was a little bit slow, but it picked up as soon as i began to feel the slow pace. the characters… WOW. they’re so lovable (and hateable depending on who it is). I ADORE FEYRE! she’s such a girlboss and one of the best female protagonists EVERRRR!

I felt so many emotions when I read this. The book begins with Feyre being the fox among chickens, where she schemes and plots and tears apart the Spring Court, after both Tamlin and Ianthe betrayed her. When Feyre is satisfied, she returns to the Night Court, where they have to deal with the after effects of the misadventure on Hybern. What follows is lots of war prep, alliances, feelings, and WAR. 

This was so good, I greatly enjoyed this story. I’m looking forward to more.
