ALL THE FEELS. I am left speechless and have no words for this review other than ACOMF is a GEM/MASTERPIECE and has easily become one of my all-time favorite reads.❤️

A lot better than the first book.
I was significantly less frustrated with the characters and overall plot, though I still have my qualms. 

I’m so glad we are away from Tamlin for the majority of the book, as I really did not like him in the first book and highly disliked his actions in the beginning of the second. I even extremely hate him for the last part of the book as well. I only really missed Lucien, but I was really surprised and upset by him a lot of the time he was in scene.

I really love all the new characters we’re introduced to from the Night Court; they all have their own motivations that feel realistic, but in our reality and a fantasy setting. They feel properly fleshed out for the most part. The relationships between each of them also feel plausible, along with how they came to be. 
The descriptions of the settings were pretty good and felt pretty immersive, especially since similar are often used in visual medias already so I could easily refer to something I’ve already seen to visualize the surroundings.
It’s not the best written thing I’ve read, but certainly a lot better than the first book, so that’s why I’ve rated it higher but not much higher than the first book.

Definitely a change of pace from the first book- this is super character driven, the focus is def primarily Feyre’s emotional/mental state & relationships. Not for everyone maybe but I liked it a lot! Also I think the romance was well-developed and didn’t feel forced or rushed <3 for sure the highlight of the book for me along with seeing a fantasy female lead truly grapple with trauma, which I feel like gets glossed over sometimes. Pacing is not quite as tight as the first book with the action towards the end feeling a little sudden/an abrupt tone shift/rushed, but it’s not egregious.  Again, nothing groundbreaking w all the tropes used- I found a lot of moments predictable lol- but still really enjoyed reading the execution!
