This book was a great addition to Sarah J Maas’ series. I wasn’t sure how much I would like reading about war, but the small storylines woven into it made it an amazing read. I was also very intrigued by the massive amount of character development in many of the people in the story. There were a lot of names to remember, but I think that the story was well written that every single character had an important part in shaping the ending of the book, even if it may not have ended in their favor. I especially appreciated when

Tamlin finally let go of Feyre and accepted that he was not going to have her back. It was very honorable for him to save Rhysand for her. He could have easily let him die, but honestly, I don’t know if he would have. Everyone was staring at him and everyone else had helped. Maybe it was for his own benefit? Who knows. I also was sad that their father was not as much of an important character up until his death. I feel like he was used behind the scenes because he was an ‘extra’ that needed to do something. I do feel like his role was valuable, but the way his character was given no story time was kind of sad, when he had such a big role in how the end came about

. Overall, this was a fantastic book and I can’t wait to read the next one, which I have already purchased! Woohoo!

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

I loved this book, it had everything you could want. Love, war, life, death, magic, power, romance, hatred, friendship, sex, world building and so much more. Badass main characters which are so fucking loveable. Epic moments which you can visualise so clearly in your mind. Goosebump worthy writing. Emotional heartbreak.
Absolutely beautiful book that sits as the third book in the A Court Of Thorns And Roses series and is a series that I will definitely be rereading before the year is up.
Satisfactory ending? Yes.
