"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!

This book—wow. Why did it take me so long to finish it?! This was really a rollercoaster of emotions and I was certainly not prepared for what was coming. It was written so freaking well! It was so, so good. Love, hate, everything. I wanted to trash the book (not really, love this baby) because SJM wrote it so well. Could you get through all the stages of happiness and grief in a minute. It's a ride, but it's definitely worth it. When you finished the first book, don't let it take too long to finish the second becauze I regret that part. Good thing though: I started my year and finished January with a really good book. I'm still utterly shocked that I don't know what to say except for that it was so good. And I will repeat that.

The ACOTAR series is such an easy read. The problems that are focused on are much more relatable when it comes to mental health and relationships. I think that’s why so many people love it. 

This book starts 3 months after the ending of ACOTAR. The POV is so heavily on Feyre and her journey, that not much is know about what else is going on in the kingdoms. 

The first half of the book is very much about Feyre’s mental health and getting her identity back. It’s slower, for sure. But so many interesting bits of information is given as we look into Rhys and the night courts ways. Once things pick up, they really pick up. 

The characters are really well written and expanded on. The plot is slow because of all the relationship building, but once things get going, they sprint. 

In the end you are on the edge of your seat with a great cliffhanger, NEEDING the next book immediately.

This was my favorite book out of the whole series. Did it put me into an emotional spiral? A little bit, yes. I think it did a great job at portraying how depressed and broken Feyre was after being UTM and being with a man that used fucking as a solution. Then we get chapter 54 and 55?? oooooooooOoo mah gawd. Beautiful, muah. This book left me on such a cliffhanger that I immediately went and bought the next book. 10/10 loved it
