I felt so many emotions when I read this. The book begins with Feyre being the fox among chickens, where she schemes and plots and tears apart the Spring Court, after both Tamlin and Ianthe betrayed her. When Feyre is satisfied, she returns to the Night Court, where they have to deal with the after effects of the misadventure on Hybern. What follows is lots of war prep, alliances, feelings, and WAR. 

This was so good, I greatly enjoyed this story. I’m looking forward to more.

After the negative things I hear about this series including this book I assumed wrong. I actually very much enjoyed this book it’s started off slow but her writing does improve more with each book. The story is very character driven and it’s actually the first book to make me feel emotions for these characters. This series finally got me back into reading ACOMAF was very good I would say that MAF is hard to beat but this book is one of my close favorites so far. Loved it!

I truly found the second and third books of this trilogy to be incredible. The way Maas describes Velaris and every relationship (platonic, romantic, or otherwise) is with such fondness and precision.

I even loved Tamlin's small redemption arc at the end.

. I rated this book slightly higher than the second (I pretend the first doesn't exist) because it's beautiful to see Rhys's and Feyre's healthy relationship grow into something stable. I wonder if Maas wrote the trilogy this way to make these later stories so much more meaningful. Mor's revelation, the sacrifices at the ending, the building romance between

Nesta and Cassian - even the complicated tryst between Elain, Lucien, and Graysen...

It was all worth it. I hope the tv show producers make this world as diverse as I imagined it. This was stunning, and I want to escape into the warmth of this little crew again and again. Perhaps what makes this unique POV special is that the rest of the characters are surrounded by longing.

from Tamlin, to Mor, to Helion, and Lucien (that plotline I want to see wrapped up).

. Nothing is guaranteed in this world, which makes the fierce love all the better. Even the squealing amongst friends at reunions was a pure delight. (Also, did anyone else notice how Maas is so into scents?)

The scene with Rhys rubbing rosemary onto Feyre's back was really heavenly.

. Beautifully done.

i’m not okay after finishing this. this book took me a bit longer to get through compared to the first two books of the series but WOW am i happy i pushed through. i didn’t think this would be a 5 star read for me but the ending took me OUT. the battle was terrifying and amazing to read. i’m going to be forever in love with prythian and the court of dreams. i’m so excited to continue onto future books and read nesta’s story next. i definitely will return to this book one day. it brought tears to my eyes and so many emotions!!!! but i loved it
