“What we think to be our greatest weakness can sometimes be our biggest strength.”

“Only you can decide what breaks you, Cursebreaker. Only you.”

“Remember that you are a wolf. And you cannot be caged.”

This installment in the ACOTAR universe was not what I expected. It was a bit of a roller coaster to be quite honest. My biggest complaint is that there was so much going on that it dragged on in certain points. It just doesn't necessarily feel like it needs to be 700 pages long. However, once all the preparations were out of the way, the battle scenes were pretty awesome and I don't historically love grand battle scenes. 

Other than that, I really enjoyed this book. I really enjoyed getting to see some closure with Tamlin. He still sucks. I totally get why people hate him but it felt like Feyre could finally get some closure around that part of her life. I also really liked getting to know some of the monsters/gods. Drakon and Miryam were super fun to meet but I'd love to see more of them! I'm super curious to see what happens with Lucien and Elain. Omg and Nesta and Cassian! I've heard A Court of Silver Flames follows the two of them and I. Can't. Wait. I know I have to read A Court of Frost and Starlight first but then I'll be diving into ACOSF quite soon after!
