The third book in the ACOTAR series. I LOVED this book! It literally had me at the edge of my seat and I did not want to stop reading. If you haven’t read the ACOTAR series yet, just do it, I loved the whole series…

Loved it! Great story telling and the most plot driven book so far in the series! I enjoyed reading about the politics within the world and of course the final battle we’ve all been waiting for!

4.0

A wild ride from start to finish. I think this was the best ending, especially for Feyre and Rhysand. Also, what the hell is considered a "vulgar gesture" in this book? A middle finger...a certain look on your face?? Who knows... 

I didn't care for Nesta in the previous books, but I found my self loving her in this one. She may be a bit of a cold bitch, but it's not without reason given everything that's happened. I look forward to seeing what Nesta, and Cassian ofc, go in the next few books.

I can’t help but love this series! This book is more war, politics and strategy focused which made it feel a bit like Lord of the Rings interspersed with witty banter and spicy scenes. The friendship between the Velaris Crew is enhanced even further as we get Nesta and Elain thrown into the mix, and the family they’ve all created is just so heartwarming. Tamlin also gets a bit of a redeeming moment as well in this book (who knew!).
