This book—wow. Why did it take me so long to finish it?! This was really a rollercoaster of emotions and I was certainly not prepared for what was coming. It was written so freaking well! It was so, so good. Love, hate, everything. I wanted to trash the book (not really, love this baby) because SJM wrote it so well. Could you get through all the stages of happiness and grief in a minute. It's a ride, but it's definitely worth it. When you finished the first book, don't let it take too long to finish the second becauze I regret that part. Good thing though: I started my year and finished January with a really good book. I'm still utterly shocked that I don't know what to say except for that it was so good. And I will repeat that.

After the first book in this series, I did not want Feyre to be with anyone but Tamlin and could not imagine how she would ever willingly end up with Rhysand. However, as the audience learns alongside Feyre of Rhysand’s true nature, his real home, and his deepest motivations, it becomes clear to both reader and Feyre why one could feel drawn to the High Lord of the Night Court, and it becomes even more immediately obvious when it is revealed that

Rhysand and Feyre are fated mates

who actually like each other. Beyond the romance, it was entertaining to learn more about Velaris, the Night Court, and those who composed the inner circle. Similarly to the first novel, Feyre reaches within to hone her strength and fights selflessly for those she loves, protecting strangers and family members alike; the sacrifices and choices she makes continue to serve the greater good of Prythian and beyond. My only gripe with the story is that the middle felt rather slow and tedious, as Feyre is essentially just completing various side quests. However, I came to appreciate these tales later in the plot when their relevance was explained. Overall, I am thrilled with where the story has gone and am excited to read the next installment of this series!
