Wow. Sometimes you finish a book and you're left staring into the distance in disbelief, and this sure was one of those. 

A whole new cast of painfully lovable characters, a new court that makes spring court feel incredibly lacking, and more spice in one chapter than all of the first book (though don't expect anything too spicy - this is a nice beginner spice series so far).

I thought ACOTAR was fine, but ACOMAF blows it out of the park. If you weren't sure about ACOTAR, give this one a chance to win you over.

I struggled so hard with the middle of this book. The beginning was hard but carried the plot nicely and the end?? I was obsessed. I didn’t think I’d enjoy this series but I made it to the end and I’m so excited to start the third book.

3.75

some of the dialogue is cringe but overall easily digestible. if i didn’t mentally replace “mate” with soulmate/partner/wife/etc i wouldn’t have been able to finish. idk why but that is a major ick for me. there’s also a LOT of

convenience to excuse behavior, maybe would have liked for more character development and accountability

Amamos a Rhys, es la mejor cosa del mundo, y como ayudo a Feyre a salir adelante y volver a encontrarse a ella misma, yo creo que este libro habla bastante de volver a confiar en los demás y en uno mismo y en empezar a quererse uno mismo, me encantó el libro

This book is what I expected Maas to write. There was a more shocking plot and the

slow burn romance

was perfect for my tastes. The political aspect of the book is similar to fourth wing 🙌.
