This book, oh my god this book.  Where do I even begin?

I loved the characters: Rhysand, Morrigan, Cassian and Azriel, as well as Amren, Tarquin and the list goes on. Everyone worked well off one another, even the characters we only see briefly.

The fact Tamlin was crushing Feyre and caging her hurt my heart, because I really like Tamlin. Yet Rhys' assurance that she is safe and free to do what she pleases really surprised me.  He never pressured her, always patient and understanding.

When he confesses they are mates, and they actually talk it through properly, my heart hurt. Hearing him describe her trial, how it felt to watch her die was heartwrenching. Yet he does not hide from her, he lets her embrace him as who he is in his entirety.

The bit about the tattoos of the mountains on his knees signifying that he kneels to no one, but he does to her was just *chef's kiss* honestly.

I lost my mind when Tamlin betrayed her sisters in order to get her back in his possession, to the point I was cursing him.  When Nesta pointed her finger at the King with a deadly promise, I sincerely hope she gets to have it. 

Elain's cries broke my heart, yet knowing Lucien of all men was her mate wad both a blessing and a curse. He is Tamlin's right hand man, which puts him in a difficult position. Yet he is a soft hearted man, and I know he would do absolutely everything in his power to ensure she is happy, even to his own detriment. 

The clever way Rhys and Feyre were able to trick both the king and Tamlin into thinking they won was brilliant.  I can't wait to see what Feyre is about to get up to now that she is more a spy than a prisoner.

This book was absolutely riveting, and I couldn't put it down for very long before the itch to continue stirred.  It weaves so much beautiful lore and characters in such wonderful ways that you feel you're engaging with the story as much as you are reading it.

The tags in ‘Moderate’ are because the events from the first book

Under the Mountain

are referenced and the characters trauma from it is addressed

I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars. I laughed, I loved, I absolutely wept and I stayed up all night reading it. I can’t wait to read the next one but after that rollercoaster I might need a few days.
