I liked book 2 MUCH more than book 1, there are aspects of this book I wish were less rigid. Also I basically cringe everytime they say “female”

After the first book, I was a little nervous about it still not holding up to its reputation but holy shit, this was like the real start to the series. Loved the relationships and all the craziness at the end of the book, I have a couple book club books to get through before I can power through the next one, but I can't wait.

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

By far the best of the ACOTAR series, ACOMAF encapsulates what Sarah J Mass does best. A love triangle rife with tension, a heroine who must overcome past traumas, and an attractive yet morally grey male lead.

Wow, such a different feel from the first book of the series! The spicy scenes got maybe a little too graphic for my taste but that's just personal preference and definitely not a knock on the rest of it. The story definitely kept me coming back for more,

although I am a sucker for a good enemies-to-lovers plot.
