I wrote a longer review, but I decided to just keep it at:

Sarah J Maas seems to have named a minor male character Eris, like the greek goddess of discord. Very middle-schooler-one-babyname.com vibes.

Ultimately enjoyable, better written than the first, but still running on romance novel logic™.

With richly developed characters and a plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat, this book is a thrilling escape into a world of magic, danger, and heart-pounding romance. Maas's storytelling prowess shines brighter than ever in this spellbinding sequel that will leave you eagerly anticipating the next installment.

This was just wonderful. Rhysand was my favourite character from the first book and I just couldn’t love him more after this book. And Azriel — oh Azriel has my whole heart. It was a wild ride I’m so happy I took!

I maintain I just cannot understand why this woman is obsessed with the phrase "gobbling down" as in, eagerly taking in the details of something. It makes me think the whole cast are, like, turkeys or something. Wild.

The first book was just setting the stage for this masterpiece! It had everything I wanted and everything I didn't know that I needed.
