I really loved the way Feyre confronted her savage nature in this book. Both confronts and embraces who she is with an understanding that she is no angel. She seeks revenge, betrays others, kills, and is okay with herself at the end of all of it. Or, at least, is able to mark her mistakes and move forward. As Feyre comes to realize and states, she loves who she is, especially the bad.
I am very much looking forward to books outside of Feyre’s perspective. Maas has created such complex and interesting characters - especially Lucien and Azriel. This book felt like a neat conclusion for Feyre - and I hope we get to explore a few more perspectives.
This book is all about the war - both setting up for and fighting the war. I love reading about the character’s savagery in war compared to their general selflessness for their chosen family and for those in need. It’s the perfect combination. The amount of action and battle was amazing; however, it is mostly condensed to the end besides a few short bursts. There is a lot of politics leading up to war - necessary, but not always the most exciting reading.
I am interested to see where the series goes from this book. There is a great deal of resolution at the end. We are not left in a cliff hanger like we were at the end of ACOMAF. But generally, I liked the ending and it was as action packed as the ending of the rest of the books in this series.
