This book has the most plot development in the series but it is very long. The beginning hooks you in, the middle can be a little boring, but the end of this book is amazing.

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!
