julleah's review against another edition

dark tense fast-paced

2.0

While the story is good, I would not recommend this to anyone with sexual trauma or an abusive person in their life as this book will likely be very upsetting. Trigger warning: explicit sex scenes (several that can be skipped), abuse, torture, returning to abuser, sex work, assault is hinted at, PTSD, violence

Edit: the rating of the book is not based on the quality of the book, but on how much I enjoyed reading it. I am VERY aware about the quality of this book/author

This book was phenomenal. From the character arcs to plunging plot twists, this book was nothing less than a roller coaster of emotions. Firstly, I personally enjoyed Feyre’s character development and healing a lot more in this book than the second. Second of all, this is not a romance, primarily(at least in my opinion). This is a political fantasy (a very well-done one too), with wars betrayals, politics of relations between Courts and division between them, everything was full of action and drama. I will say I have predicted quite a lot of the plot, yet it was still very enjoyable and exciting! This was a great build-off from the previous book, and I can’t wait to see how the author evolves the story in the next one!

I will not be leaving a review due to the fact that I do not wish to support the author, this book was purchased second hand and read for enjoyment.

5.0

An all-consuming rush of brilliant imagery, cunning battle and tense action, beautiful companionship, deliciously sexy and sweet romance. I was utterly entranced the entire 624 pages as Feyre continued her fight for her loved ones, her new friends, her soulmate, and her own beating human heart within a new immortal body.

I LOVE RHYSAND TO INFINITY AND BEYOND. What a magnificent creature. Maas crafts his heartbreaking story so flawlessly, intersecting purposefully with Feyre’s even from the first moment they met in the first book. I was blown away by every detail revealed.

Also… HE LETS HER BEJEWELED. IYKYK!!!

“But I was his mate. He would yield only for me.”

I can’t wait to see what happens next between the High Fae and the mortal realm as they go to swiftly into that dark night…
