Wowee! Feyre was really in her side quest era in this book! From Tams court, to talking to Suri, to the mirror, to the Byraxis, to Elain, to flying, SHES BUSY! 

The first 500 pages made me think this book was gonna be 4 stars, cause it was a smidge slow, but the last 200 really made up for it. Every time my parents tried to converse with me during that time, I had to tell them, “Can’t talk, I’m at war.”

Those pages made me verbally scream “WHAT?!”, “YAY!”, “OH MY GOD!”, “NO!!!!!!” And lastly, “HUH??!”

Twas a very fun rollercoaster! The lore in this world is crazy! 

Overall, I felt like the last book was essentially the love story of two characters and in this book, I felt like it was a different kind of love story. Like it was focused on the love they shared, but also the love that they hold for their people, their family, and their dreams for what their world could become. 

I LIKED IT, DAMMIT! 

FROST AND STARLIGHT IM COMING FOR YOU NEXT!

Definitivamente este es el mejor de la trilogía. El primero fue un sólido 4 estrellas y el segundo me gustó menos ya que tuvo momentos donde era muy lento o en realidad no pasaba nada, pero este tercero es sin duda el más épico y entretenido de los tres. El ritmo de los acontecimientos, la descripción de las batallas y cómo la autora utiliza todas las fichas y personajes que tiene a su disposición sin dejar nada al azar resulta en un libro muy bueno y un cierre a la primera trilogía de ACOTAR bastante digno.

WOW. This one had me going THROUGH IT. What a glorious heart-pounding whirlwind. Alliances lost and found, sweeping war across many lands and climates… this is what a true magical fantasy book should be. Of course I love the romance involved and all of the friendships sewn into the heart of this series, but ACOWAR was definitely heavy on intense battle and strategy and unbridled power, which really drew me in even deeper to that fantasy world where anything could happen. And anything DID happen!! While a little slow through the middle of the story after an incredibly cunning and sharp start, the last 200 pages more than made up for it. Edge of my seat with tears in my eyes, ready to slaughter Hybern like a well-trained Illyrian soldier. It was, in a word, EPIC.

LONG LIVE PRYTHIAN!!!!!

I did like this book a lot, not as much as the second one though. My main issue with it is that it could’ve been split into two normal sized books which could’ve been a lot easier to get through.

**2023 REREAD**

A Court of Wings and Ruin takes the threads of the previous books and weaves them together into such a good conclusion to Feyre’s story.

Do I love this book? No, not really. But I definitely had a good time with it. ACOTAR does a better job of mixing the politics with the romance, and ACOMAF does a great job with the romance with just a sprinkle of the politics, but this book struggles to balance the two well. The plot is kinda meh, and the romance has already been established so there’s not a lot of time spent on it, which makes complete sense. 

I wish the war plot had been better entwined into all of the books so that it doesn’t feel so out of place. I think that SJM doesn’t fully understand the difference between “putting on a mask” and being a situationally bad person to the people you don’t like. But I also knew all of this going into the book, so it didn’t surprise me.

I know this is her most beloved series, and I really do like it, but it’s just not my favorite.

Anyway, if you go in with the expectation of fae vibes and steam you won’t be disappointed.
