spoiler free first:
this was beautiful. it was magical and wonderful and I couldn't stop reading it. and when I HAD to stop reading it I couldn't stop THINKING about it. I don't think Ive ever felt such heartbreak and devastation but at the same time I watched something so beautiful be rebuilt and persevere. I thought I had this book figured out but it did not do what I thought it was going to do and I am SO glad. i had the most visceral reactions to this book and had to literally put it down and walk away multiple times LOL (for the good parts AND the bad parts). this book takes you on such an unexpected journey and brings you so many new wonderful characters that are so easy to fall in love with. with the way things pan out you'd think it's slow paced but it's not. she takes her time building the story and the plot and I ate up every second of it. SJM is a treasure and this series has everything I've been looking for for so long I just didn't know it was already out there
SPOILER REVIEW:
I've always been Not team tamlin lmao. as much as I loved the first book I never cared for him. now I know why.
the first part of this book was pure devastation. I've never read something like that in my life. I felt feyre's depression so terribly and so deeply I had to take a break after I finished part one. I cried many times.
during part two I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, and for her to be like ok thanks Rhys and go back to tamlin. or for Rhys to fuck up. or SOMETHING so she would go back to tamlin but she didn't. the end obviously is something else but I'll get to that in a second.
I love Mor I love Cassian I love Azriel I love Amren. such beautiful characters with such devastating pasts and I am so glad they have each other. they were wonderful on their own but to see feyre grow and learn from and with them.
and Rhys. RHYS. Lord. I don't know. he is so beautiful and remarkable in every way and all I want is to see him get his happy ending. his character is so devastating to me. he's done EVERYTHING for EVERYONE. and no one will ever know. he's better than everyone in this book. he's done so much and I can't wait for him to find happiness with feyre. and all his and feyre's connections back to the first book? god. the first book is kinda ruined for me now but him and feyre are now an especially redeeming part for me.
all his connections back to HER throughout her life. I lost it immediately. I want to say this is the love feyre deserves but no it's the love they BOTH deserve. they've been through so much and they came out on top
I cried so much at the end. had to put the book down and walk away lmao. when Rhys explained everything about being her mate I put the book down and walked out of my bedroom JDJDKDK. when tamlin and Lucien show up I literally rolled off my bed onto the floor in devastation. I love when a book makes me feel like this
I'm realizing now the reason I thought things weren't going to end well for Rhys was because I thought this was Feyre and Tamlin's story but it's not. it's Feyre's story and I think it's maybe even Feyre's story with Rhys.
I would say it wasn't a happy ending but I don't feel as sad as I could. SJM made me believe in both Rhys and Feyre and what they have I fully believe they will find their way back to each other. and I know they believe it too which makes it so much easier to believe in.
(oh and my single complaint: Elain and Lucien really????? we had to give one of the best characters boring ass Elain? damn)
