I found the book interesting in places. The description could be a bit much and a little over the top, especially when it is supposed to be a fast-paced scene, like a battle. I would much rather be pulled into an action scene, not thrown out because it was over descriptive.

At times, Feyre pissed me off. The attack on Velaris was just one of those times. Her downfall is to not act in the moment, but to wait and take in the scene while deciding what she is going to do, she knows that she wants to help, but yet still doesn't move. I found myself screaming during the attack on Velaris: "Feyre, you have the power of seven high lords. Do something."

The book made me want to throw it multiple times, and most of those times were because of Feyre's ineptitude. What is the point in her having all these powers if she's not using them?

If the series hadn’t already been spoiled for me I would have simply DIED at the plot twists. Also love the world expansion.

A true enemies-to-lovers arc, and so pleasing. Their natural scathing remarks turn fond, yet still sharp. After coming back to this series years later I really appreciate the ability to communicate that Feyre and Rhysand have. Although there are lies and betrayals, they talk and resolve the issue as adults deserving of immortality. 
I absolutely adore Amren, Mor, Azriel and Cassian.

The ending made me put the book down and breathe through my anger, as somehow the expected failure of their scheme was so much worse than possibly imagined. 

I am truly excited to see more of Elain, but particularly Nesta, and the unbreakable strength she seems to be made of.
