This book brought out something in me. I am so far behind on my college work right now because I was desperate to finish this book. It's so well thought out and meticulously planned. It's beautiful and terrible all at once, but in the best ways possible. The characters are so easy to love and any betrayal is easy to feel on the part of the reader. 

I've never been the type of person to reread books, but I'd willingly read these over and over and over again.

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

ACOWAR includes much more character development than the first two books in the series. I feel so much more connected to Cassian, Azriel, Mor, and the rest of the Night Court crew. I also don’t entirely hate Nesta anymore!

Tamlin’s characterization sent me on an emotional rollercoaster.
