4.5

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.

A lot better than the first book.
I was significantly less frustrated with the characters and overall plot, though I still have my qualms. 

I’m so glad we are away from Tamlin for the majority of the book, as I really did not like him in the first book and highly disliked his actions in the beginning of the second. I even extremely hate him for the last part of the book as well. I only really missed Lucien, but I was really surprised and upset by him a lot of the time he was in scene.

I really love all the new characters we’re introduced to from the Night Court; they all have their own motivations that feel realistic, but in our reality and a fantasy setting. They feel properly fleshed out for the most part. The relationships between each of them also feel plausible, along with how they came to be. 
The descriptions of the settings were pretty good and felt pretty immersive, especially since similar are often used in visual medias already so I could easily refer to something I’ve already seen to visualize the surroundings.
It’s not the best written thing I’ve read, but certainly a lot better than the first book, so that’s why I’ve rated it higher but not much higher than the first book.
