It took me forever to read this, first of all, because of finals and graduation season, but I made it (barely) and I'm here (maybe).

This dang book, y'all... I seriously have no words. I want to scream and shout and let it all out when I figure out what "it" is. This book made me feel all the feels; I felt bipolar for a minute because of how quickly the emotions were coming and how intense everything was. I was hooked for all 624 pages of this book, but I am going to need to recover from this experience. I need some time hahaha.

On a real note, because this book was pretty much spoiled for me on TikTok and such, I had an interesting reading experience. I was able to see the hints of where the story was going, which were so well-crafted. For example, in the beginning of the book when Feyre is pretty much dying at the Spring Court and symbolically flying free in the Night Court. Maas did so well in making the reader hate Tamlin like Feyre did and despise the smell of him in the end like she did. I was completely floored by this experience. Going to read/finish a couple more books before picking up ACOWAR.
