At times, Feyre pissed me off. The attack on Velaris was just one of those times. Her downfall is to not act in the moment, but to wait and take in the scene while deciding what she is going to do, she knows that she wants to help, but yet still doesn't move. I found myself screaming during the attack on Velaris: "Feyre, you have the power of seven high lords. Do something."
The book made me want to throw it multiple times, and most of those times were because of Feyre's ineptitude. What is the point in her having all these powers if she's not using them?

Wow! How is the second book in the series better than the first? I did not expect any of what happened to happen.
Rhysand was probably the biggest curveball for me. I didn't expect him to be so caring and
I can't believe I would say this, especially after reading the entirety of book one, but
The ending wasn't what I expected and I am shook on what will happen next! I think I might need a moment before I start the next book because I need to mentally prepare myself!

That ending was definitely unexpected and well wrote, I picked up the 3 book immediately! (Leaves on a cliffhanger)
Would recommend to any who love spicy scenes, romance and fantasy to check out this series!
Some of my favourite quotes.
72 “I expected an answer more along the lines of, ‘Don’t ask stupid questions you already know the
answer to,’ or my timeless favorite, ‘Go to hell.’"
“To the people who look at the stars and wish, Rhys.”
He picked up his glass, his gaze so piercing that I wondered why I had bothered blushing at all for
Tarquin.
Rhys clinked his glass against mine. “To the stars who listen—and the dreams that are answered.” (207)
'I said quietly, opening the door “that the villain is usually the person
who locks up the maiden and throws away the key.”
“Oh?”
I shrugged. “He was the one who let me out.” (262)

The ACOTAR series is such an easy read. The problems that are focused on are much more relatable when it comes to mental health and relationships. I think that’s why so many people love it.
This book starts 3 months after the ending of ACOTAR. The POV is so heavily on Feyre and her journey, that not much is know about what else is going on in the kingdoms.
The first half of the book is very much about Feyre’s mental health and getting her identity back. It’s slower, for sure. But so many interesting bits of information is given as we look into Rhys and the night courts ways. Once things pick up, they really pick up.
The characters are really well written and expanded on. The plot is slow because of all the relationship building, but once things get going, they sprint.
In the end you are on the edge of your seat with a great cliffhanger, NEEDING the next book immediately.
