This book just became my favourite of the series. It was so so good. Starting in the Spring Court made me already excited and then the end, oh. my. god. The hype I felt while reading this book, it was incredible. 
So well written! So heartbreaking, and so many twists, but so good! 
I don't have words for it, but I can say i really enjoyed reading all of it. From begin to end. Bat boys, go!

I feel like the end of the book could have had more development time. There were lots of very big things happening and the stakes did not feel genuine and the consequences were lacking. But over all this book made me fall in love with so many side characters that it's almost obscene.
