okay i saw someone else describe this book as a rubber band ready to snap and i cant agree more! tell me why a big chunk (cough the real reason this book is 700 pages cough) is so slowww and maybe a lil repetitive ( oops! still love u sarah j mass thank you so so much for this series i am eatinggggg) but lowkey i fell into a mini slump and took an almost month long break (read a whole other book in between as well as prob a big book size of ao3 fics but that’s honestly due to a diff obsession that came in full swing before i knew what was happening) but ANYWAYS back on topic i came back to acowar yesterday with 200 pages left and i was DETERMINED! it really helped that boom everything that took so long to set up suddenly fell into place and wowwwww the progression of events was wild! i loved it and was even pleasantly surprised to gasp at more than a couple shocking twists i wasn’t expecting. what i love about the acotar series is how easy it is to fall into the world and feel involved with the characters and environment <3 
- to be fair ! i understand why this book is so long, feyre and the inner circle go through SO much, like literally damn i think i need a support group after that and honestly they would all thrive from one too.

This story has everything you would ever need and want to look for. One billion starts, this book had given me laughs, tears, shocks, turns. It’s just amazing. The story is well written the characters are developed and beautiful very diverse. The story is unpredictable and that’s a lot coming from me. The overlapping and story overall is just beautiful. The suspense is amazing. I want to say this is my favorite in the series so far and probably my top book of all time now. Highly recommend can’t give it enough stars and words. Love love!

Ok. Good book. But didn’t wow me the way that ACOMAF did. I loved how it started, I live for the scheming and court drama. And I think the book had great pacing and overall the plot was gripping. But… at the end it just felt a bit shallow. Nothing was really gained or lost.

Everyone lives (miraculously) except the father you don’t really care about. All of these sort of random events conspire for the good guys to come out on top.

The Tamlin subplot was logical and emotionally interesting but wasn’t really explored. My other beef with this book is that

the revelation that Mor is gay

felt forced. Can’t she just..

not love him like he loves her? Why does she have to “prefer” females?

. Don’t get me wrong I love a

gay character to add to my representation roster

but it just felt like something Sarah J Maas came up with and then forced to happen, not something natural for the plot/characters. Overall, an enjoyable book worth reading. However, book 2 felt much more natural and realistic than this one.

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.

ACOWAR (especially during the final battle) was INSANE. So much drama and action with Amren, the Suriel, and even poor Rhys 😭 also absolutely OBSESSED with Nesta and Cassian, they’re my biggest couple goals in the book series so far <33
