Okay this book took me forever... but I finally finished it! I try and try not to make comparisons to TOG, but my brain can't help it. It was good, but it reminded me of Empire of Storms. And EOS is just superior in every way. The way the battle with Hybern ended just felt so flat in comparison, and everything just perfectly worked out. Oh yeah, Myriam and Drakon that we couldn't even contact heard about this and came just in time! Oh and the Dad everyone forgot about just showed up with a giant army! Also that special life saving ritual that was specially bestowed upon Feyre, yeah we're gonna do it again. Oh and don't forget Amren was also just squatting in the cauldron and didn't actually die. Oh and that super imposing and powerful King, yeah Elain just walked up and stabbed him? The men are slightly better written in ACOTAR but the story here just feels so flat in comparison. I feel like the length of time it took me to read this says most of what needs to be said. Not terrible but not great.
