This book was amazing, usually I'm skeptical of middle books in a series but this one genuinely progressed the plot in an interesting and necessary way.

Ok SJM really upped the ante with the second installment of this series! I found this book to be much more enjoyable than the first. The world building and character development, especially Feyre’s emotional journey, were really well-written. I also loved the reveal of unexpected facets of other characters that were introduced in the first book. SJM does a great job of creating layered characters that are not always as they seem upon first introduction. The book is long, but the story telling and action keep you engaged and hooked the entire time. I’m looking forward to reading the third!

I don't know what to say about this book. I finished it at 6 AM today and I hadn't slept the whole night reading it.
I think so far it was the best book I've read in 2022.
I cried, I laughed, I got excited, I got angry and disappointed. I felt a lot while reading this book.
Pure art.
