I'm too enraged to write a review right now. Aaaahhggrr

While reading this book, we soon come to realise that everything we thought to be true, may not be true at all. Is Tamlin the good guy and is Rhysand the bad guy? Feyre is devastated by what she did to save Tamlin. She had to kill two innocent Fae and it hunts her in her dreams. Their eyes, their blood, all of it. She has nightmares every night and pukes her guts out after each and every one of them.

Tamlin ignores it. He keeps on sleeping. Feyre thinks he might not know, but is almost sure that some nights she can feel him be awake next to her once she comes back to bed. He has his own nightmares to deal with, but he is locking her in his house to protect her from the world outside. (view spoiler) nothing is what it seems in A Court of Mist and Fury. Feyre tries to beat her depression and finds her way to become herself again. The strong huntress she used to be, the strong girl who fought for her man, instead of a trophy wife who isn't allowed to leave the house. The second novel is soo good. It's so sad, exciting and romantic all at once. I haven't felt this way about a book since.. well a long time.

 The fact that I swore I would never read this series and yet here we are rating this 5 stars?!? This was perfection. I havent been this engrossed I'm anything since twilight, which was a long long time ago 😅

Also, excuse me but Rhys??? I knew that booksta and booktok was obsessed but I stupidly thought they were exaggerating. They weren't. Rhys is literally E V E R Y T H I N G and im here for it.

Big upgrade from the first book. Spice level increased by a good 40%. Enjoyed watching feyre’s progress and how she flourishes. It was nice to be able to relate to her mental health problems but watching her find herself again and find what life had to offer really just inspires hope in me. I’m excited for the next book albeit I don’t believe any other book in the series will live up to the expectations of this book.

love Feyre the main girl, she’s somewhat realistic & smarter than her old ass peers+mate. love that for her

plot wise, a bit irritated that they took so long in their side quests. Even worse, that they’re so gullible & only have 1 plan on hand to resolve problem. (except Feyre) Y’all live for millennia for what? to only come up with 1 plan

and got trapped

? dont know how y’all survive for this long, that’s dumb af 😭

plot wise 😏,  like the tension between Feyre & her mate. some of the ‘action’ actually progress the plot which i like but sometime it’s a bit wordy and i skipped. 

i suggest you read the book. this book is a total page turner. there were 700s pages and i read it in less than 24 hr.

found Feyre a much more barrable character in this book. Her jello spine eventually became steel and she got some of her sh*t together. Rhysand was delightful in the last book and I loved all the “screen time” he got in this book. As with any book by Sarah, you will be endlessly blue-balled. Her sex scenes are more explicit than usual but everyone freaking out that teens shouldn’t be reading this, obviously forgot a lot of people start masturbating in middle school and f*cking in high school. If it’s not your thing though just skip ahead.
