I LOVED THISSS. Yet again, I got super attached to the characters and the plot was very intricate. The first book seems elementary compared to all of the characters and the world building in this 550 page monster.

I feel like I stereotyped this series as a smut book tok bad series but that is generally not true. I will admit there are maybe 5 or 6 spicy scenes in this book that I don’t think you should read if you don’t like spice because some of them made me want to burn the book. However,there is so much story that made me extremely emotional. This is a romantasy that some lines will make you cringe (I think that it’s just Sarah J Mass’ writing)but overall it was a spectacular book.

I wrote a longer review, but I decided to just keep it at:

Sarah J Maas seems to have named a minor male character Eris, like the greek goddess of discord. Very middle-schooler-one-babyname.com vibes.

Ultimately enjoyable, better written than the first, but still running on romance novel logic™.

This was just wonderful. Rhysand was my favourite character from the first book and I just couldn’t love him more after this book. And Azriel — oh Azriel has my whole heart. It was a wild ride I’m so happy I took!

I maintain I just cannot understand why this woman is obsessed with the phrase "gobbling down" as in, eagerly taking in the details of something. It makes me think the whole cast are, like, turkeys or something. Wild.
