The ending of the book had a lot happening. My brain kinda hurts. But I also couldn’t put it down. Great book kinda long.

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!

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.

Wowee! Feyre was really in her side quest era in this book! From Tams court, to talking to Suri, to the mirror, to the Byraxis, to Elain, to flying, SHES BUSY! 

The first 500 pages made me think this book was gonna be 4 stars, cause it was a smidge slow, but the last 200 really made up for it. Every time my parents tried to converse with me during that time, I had to tell them, “Can’t talk, I’m at war.”

Those pages made me verbally scream “WHAT?!”, “YAY!”, “OH MY GOD!”, “NO!!!!!!” And lastly, “HUH??!”

Twas a very fun rollercoaster! The lore in this world is crazy! 

Overall, I felt like the last book was essentially the love story of two characters and in this book, I felt like it was a different kind of love story. Like it was focused on the love they shared, but also the love that they hold for their people, their family, and their dreams for what their world could become. 

I LIKED IT, DAMMIT! 

FROST AND STARLIGHT IM COMING FOR YOU NEXT!
