I truthfully loved this book just as much as mist and fury. They do feel very different reading. This book is action packed and brimmed with love. Tamlin felt like watching a tennis match with how much he was swinging in his decentness. Absolutely love Mor and her story explored more in this book. I was surprised with how heavy there seemed to be focusing on Nesta and Cassian, but I didn’t mind it either. This book completely took me along the ride with emotions. I was vengeful with them, sad with them, scared with them, and unbelievably happy with them.

Ok. Good book. But didn’t wow me the way that ACOMAF did. I loved how it started, I live for the scheming and court drama. And I think the book had great pacing and overall the plot was gripping. But… at the end it just felt a bit shallow. Nothing was really gained or lost.

Everyone lives (miraculously) except the father you don’t really care about. All of these sort of random events conspire for the good guys to come out on top.

The Tamlin subplot was logical and emotionally interesting but wasn’t really explored. My other beef with this book is that

the revelation that Mor is gay

felt forced. Can’t she just..

not love him like he loves her? Why does she have to “prefer” females?

. Don’t get me wrong I love a

gay character to add to my representation roster

but it just felt like something Sarah J Maas came up with and then forced to happen, not something natural for the plot/characters. Overall, an enjoyable book worth reading. However, book 2 felt much more natural and realistic than this one.

I enjoyed the start but when it got to the middle I just felt like there was a lot of nothing going on and it was very repetitive. The ending is the best part I would say. There is a LOT of good stuff that goes on and that is the only thing that makes it worth reading I think. It's good and I'd recommend the series but SJM needs to know how to shorten as some of it I feel was unnecessary. Also, what is this "vulgar gesture" mentioned throughout??? LIKE GIVE US SOME DETAIL??? She gives detail about everything else except this.
