2024 Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Honestly, I will read and LOVE anything and everything Sarah J. Maas writes!
This is my third time rereading this book and I still love it. I prefer ACOMAF out of the original trilogy, but these books are all so incredible.
I love the characters, Maas honestly writes some of my favourite characters, I love them! Maas’ storylines are always really interesting, intriguing and well played out.
Overall, I love this series and can’t wait to continue rereading it.

*4.5
OH MY GOD... I finally finished. It took 6 days... it should not have took six days!
👍🏻
- Feyre’s scheming in the first 100 pages! Even though in the end it kind of backfired, I found it hilarious!
- I loved the dynamic between Cassian and Nesta! I can’t wait to see more of it!
- None of the characters come across as too perfect! Each character is flawed in some way and make mistakes which I found just made them more realistic.
- Bisexual Mor! I love it!!
👎🏻
-Feyre and Rhys lost the sexual tension they had in ACOMAF which I was quite unhappy about.
- The story felt too long and some parts unnecessary and didn’t really aid the story in any way.
- No closure between Mor and Azriel! Mor knew she was leading him on but there was no resolution and Azriel is still in the dark on the matter.
- Very little closure with Tamlin. Besides a small comment to Feyre wishing her happiness, there was no proper closure! Considering the role Tamlin played in Feyre’s life, I really wanted something more to resolve their story.
- No main character fatalities. Considering two main characters died and were both brought back, it was unrealistic that none of the inner circle died in such a big battle. Especially since one of the character sacrificed themselves, it kind of takes away from that sacrifice when they are brought back within a few chapters.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read more from this series!
