After the first book in this series, I did not want Feyre to be with anyone but Tamlin and could not imagine how she would ever willingly end up with Rhysand. However, as the audience learns alongside Feyre of Rhysand’s true nature, his real home, and his deepest motivations, it becomes clear to both reader and Feyre why one could feel drawn to the High Lord of the Night Court, and it becomes even more immediately obvious when it is revealed that

Rhysand and Feyre are fated mates

who actually like each other. Beyond the romance, it was entertaining to learn more about Velaris, the Night Court, and those who composed the inner circle. Similarly to the first novel, Feyre reaches within to hone her strength and fights selflessly for those she loves, protecting strangers and family members alike; the sacrifices and choices she makes continue to serve the greater good of Prythian and beyond. My only gripe with the story is that the middle felt rather slow and tedious, as Feyre is essentially just completing various side quests. However, I came to appreciate these tales later in the plot when their relevance was explained. Overall, I am thrilled with where the story has gone and am excited to read the next installment of this series!

This book was phenomenal. From the character arcs to plunging plot twists, this book was nothing less than a roller coaster of emotions. Firstly, I personally enjoyed Feyre’s character development and healing a lot more in this book than the second. Second of all, this is not a romance, primarily(at least in my opinion). This is a political fantasy (a very well-done one too), with wars betrayals, politics of relations between Courts and division between them, everything was full of action and drama. I will say I have predicted quite a lot of the plot, yet it was still very enjoyable and exciting! This was a great build-off from the previous book, and I can’t wait to see how the author evolves the story in the next one!
