The TENSION was so good and so painful. It made me want to keep reading, just hoping I could get another sweet moment/point of reflection. A few really good twists in this book. A few really predictable twists. It felt really different from ACOTAR in all of the best ways. Overall, I felt a lot reading this book and it has unfortunately turned me into a fan of fantasy.

The rumors were true, the second book is SO much better in this series after you get through the first. The side characters and found family theme throughout this story were endearing and heartbreaking. I love Rhys and how he stands for what he believes in and protects who he cares about. Cassian was the funniest and most relatable side character I've read in a while, Az's humble darkness is enchanting, and I want to be Mor's friend. The only person I had a struggle connecting with at times was (surprise), Feyre. I found her character arc and development for this story to be a great representation of how healing is not linear after trauma, and showed a realistic perspective on PTSD. What I didn't like was her continued immaturity at random plot points that didn't match up with her words or actions

when she found out Rhys was her mate, for example. She just ran and hid from him moments after she killed people for the first time since Under the Mountain to save him and she's mad he didn't tell her?? I didn't get it, with her history I agreed with Rhys she needed to figure out her feelings on her own.

I absolutely adore Feyre's sisters and the bond the three of them have, I also ship Cassian and Nesta immensely. This book had me throwing my book at times in shock, audibly yelping at some action scenes, and gasping at the romance. The slowest burn that came together beautifully. 10/10 recommend and already wish I could read for the first time again.

you have to get through the first book to understand some basic concepts of the world in the second book, but I enjoyed that the author would remind the reader of what happened in a scene or what line was said from the first book by resharing those instances

Be ready to be dealing with the occurrence and PTSD resulting from an insane amount of trauma, but the story is so incredibly addicting that you still end up feeling fulfilled by the end
