Oh my goodness, what a whirlwind of emotions. I have never felt so much within such little time. It was gripping, shocking, scary. It made me mad, sad, happy and hopeful. The characters were so lovable and I felt connected to them. Okay, at times it was slow but oh my goodness the ending went so quickly. How could a 700paged book feel rushed to me??? I dont know. The only thing i disliked was the random times Feyre and Rhysand lusted eachother. Like in a war-camp surrounded by dying Illyrians- really??.

Honestly 4.5 stars at the moment.

• Okay it put me in a pretty big reading slump not gonna lie. Like i picked up to other books in an attempt to get me to keep reading it. But the plot was so tense at certain points that it kept me interested. I did hate that the whole book was centered on war and politics like i could’ve cared less. Why did it take them 700+ pages for the war to happen in the last 200. I was not amused. Even though we hate Tampon i would like to give him a hug for being lonely now. Like it wasn’t his fault he had attachment issues well maybe it was but i don’t know if i would want him to drop his roll as high lord of the spring court to go be with luicien at velaris. But also how is Az and Luic gonna fall in love with Elain like im dancing on the edge ready to find out. What else are they to face now that hybern is gone ??? Idk if I’ll continue reading or not havent decided yet.overall it was an okay book I wouldn’t 100% recommend it though.

The third installment of this series came with just as much action and suspense as the second. I really enjoyed the way the author continued to expand the universe and introduce new settings and characters. I also liked the development of some of the side characters and their back stories. I think SJM does a good job of exploring both the good and the bad that exist within her characters and the duality makes for a much more intriguing story. There were some parts that felt a little slow to me and there were a few plot points that felt repetitive, but overall, the end was satisfying!
