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.

My third read-through! I recognize more flaws every time, but I still love the parts that I love. This is the best book of the series, if not the only really good one. And she does characters and relationships and friendships really really well.
