what a rollercoaster from start to finish this book was. I ship Az and Elain as well as Cass and Nesta. I find it hard to believe

Feyre would become a natural leader with her Lady of the Night Court title so easily imo, and i'm not her biggest fan in this book

. I love Rhys and his consistent acts of consent toward Feyre and leadership to his Court are admirable. Mildly disappointed

the monster in the library was just a thing of shadows that embodied everyone's worst fear, as i was anticipating something much more terrifying or graphic in detail, and that both the Bone Carver AND the Weaver bit it, they were interesting villains turned good

. The found family aspect in this book was wonderful as always. I'm getting tired of reading the word "Prick" as the only insult used for anyone ever, but I think the chemistry between all the side characters and their own subplots were excellent. Imo, second book is better so I docked this .25 for the slower pace, too many new characters introduced that had me not even paying attention to who they were (Draydon and his Court in particular, i didn't follow), and trying to keep up with Jurian's twisted history, but this was still very good overall and I can't wait to read the fourth.
