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 🙌.

I enjoyed this sequel far more than the first book in the series, A Court of Thorns and Roses. The political scheming and world building was so much stronger, which are always my favorite part of fantasies.

I also appreciated the romance of Feyre and Rhysand, it felt far more fleshed out than the romance of the previous novel. Maybe it is because I like Rhysand better than Tamlin as he feels like a much more fleshed out character with understandable motives and feelings.

In addition, I loved the the cast of friends surrounding the Night Court. I felt like their addition led to far more fleshed out characters with motives, backgrounds, and feelings that influenced the plot in interesting ways. Overall, I just think this installment had more going for it as while there was romance it took more of a back set to the political intrigue, world building, and character development. I am excited to see how this builds in the next novel especially with the twist at the end. Also, with how well Sarah Maas tied in trauma healing in this novel it will be intriguing to see how the trauma of this twist plays out in the next novel. Excited to read more.

Much better than ACOTAR. Kind of like Twilight, it’s so bad that I love it, but I also hate it.
Absolutely DO NOT do audiobook for this one. My ears were violated.
