There's a lot of war in this book. I'm not a huge fan of it, but I was entertained when Feyre

made friends with 'monsters'.

Fearless as ever! 

I feel like we didn't get enough of Rhysand, but maybe I am just being greedy because I want him in EVERY chapter. 

SO MUCH DEATH! I got a bit teary-eyed and had to close the book for a few hours before I could open it up again. So many secrets were revealed too! 

I can't believe I am saying this, but I can't dislike Tamlin anymore, not after what he did

for Rhysand

, that doesn't mean I like him! He said so many hurtful things! 

This may be very unpopular, but I just couldn't stand Feyre's sisters. It was so hard to read when they came up because they were infuriating. Alas, they won me over in the end, but I don't necessarily love them. 

What a great book, not sure what happens after this, seemed like a finale to me but I know there are more books to this series. I can't wait to read them!

WOW. This one had me going THROUGH IT. What a glorious heart-pounding whirlwind. Alliances lost and found, sweeping war across many lands and climates… this is what a true magical fantasy book should be. Of course I love the romance involved and all of the friendships sewn into the heart of this series, but ACOWAR was definitely heavy on intense battle and strategy and unbridled power, which really drew me in even deeper to that fantasy world where anything could happen. And anything DID happen!! While a little slow through the middle of the story after an incredibly cunning and sharp start, the last 200 pages more than made up for it. Edge of my seat with tears in my eyes, ready to slaughter Hybern like a well-trained Illyrian soldier. It was, in a word, EPIC.

LONG LIVE PRYTHIAN!!!!!

This series has just gotten better with every book. I love the way Feyre uses her new skills in this. The small comedic moments between the major plot points. Her snark to everyone. We get to visit more Courts, and get heavy amounts of description, and it's beautiful. There was a lot of drama in this one as Feyre's sisters feature heavily. I love the way secrets are built and then revealed. I also really liked the bit of redemption we see for some of the people the main cast pissed off. I am not a huge fan of battles being heavily described. The battle scenes were very to the point, which I enjoyed. I struggled with Tolkien due to the battle scenes. I appreciate that though most of the plot for this is War, it's not like, heavily gorey. 

I did not like some of the twists. Stop making me cry. Ugh. That was pretty much my only dislike.
