The first third of this book had me so frustrated and upset, but it all came together in the end. The buildup of the romance was so exciting, and I loved getting to know all the characters at the Night Court. There were some lines that were corny, but others were so impactful and made me so emotional. I got misty-eyed a couple times reading this, which I was not expecting at all. The plot also picked up a lot, and I often wondered what would happen next.

also can we just talk about how Rhysand cried when Feyre told him she loved him? It melted my heart completely.

"It'd just been a relief to think that for a moment, [Rhysand] might have been as lonely as me." - Feyre

Wow! How is the second book in the series better than the first? I did not expect any of what happened to happen. 

Rhysand was probably the biggest curveball for me. I didn't expect him to be so caring and

he sacrificed so much for his people and those close to him.

It was so heartbreaking when he talked about Under The Mountain, yet he still found time to be there for Feyre when

she was struggling with her nightmares.

I can't believe I would say this, especially after reading the entirety of book one, but

Fuck Tamlin, I could not believe him. From the beginning, he acted like he wasn't awake as Feyre puked her brains out!

The ending wasn't what I expected and I am shook on what will happen next! I think I might need a moment before I start the next book because I need to mentally prepare myself!

A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas was somehow SO much better than ACOTAR. This book pulled out all the stops and I can definitely tell why this is most people’s favorite book in the series overall. I loved the way the characters developed and how the dynamics shifted. I think I deeply love every character in this series more with every page I turn. Even characters I should hate, I love to hate. I feel like the pacing is fantastic, there is spice and action, there is growth and healing, love and betrayals. This book is packed with so many great moments (and some of the series most famous lines). This is definitely my favorite book in the series so far, and I can’t wait to keep reading and see what else happens because I am completely on the edge of my seat! Make sure you have a copy of A Court of Wings and Ruin ready to crack open immediately after reading the last line of this one. I promise you won’t want to wait.
