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!
