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!

WOWWWW this took me so long to finish, but in my defense I lost steam after Mist and Fury as I felt like nothing could top it. The beginning of this was really slow, middle picked up a little bit and the end absolutely SLAPPED ME in my face. Mist and Fury is still my favorite but this one was really good too.

I'm not going to lie, I don't even remember most of the first half of this book. I've been reading this since February and it's August hahahahahahahaaahaa but I do remember my FAVORITE scene in this entire book which was when

Spoiler

Lucien and Feyre are running from Lucien's shitty brothers in the Autumn Court and get cornered on an ice lake and CASSIAN AND AZRIEL LAND TO SAVE THEM AND CASSIAN GOES "I suggest you drop my lady."

THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT!!!

BUTTTT this book takes the cake for sure on making me cry the most out of the entire series so far. Everything after the war starts was just flooding straight from my eyeballs. Couldn't stop even if I tried AND it made it hard to read. I don't think I breathed for 10 chapters. I'm excited for this novella with no mean or sad or upsetti spaghetti things in it because I need a friggin break.
