I absolutely love how Rhysand was reintroduced & how he helped her to find herself again. I think that Maas did an amazing job of giving us reasons to have the readers cheer on Rhys instead of Tamlin, especially as the book progressed. I think that the open healing and vulnerability between them helped form their relationship, and how he made her want to paint again. He is overall so healing to Feyre, and I love how much that is displayed. I also really appreciate how we get to see his side of the story and why he acted the way he did in the previous novel. I am also very happy that the little rift after the Suriel did not last long at all, and that we had a soon and meaningful reveal of feelings in that little cabin instead of having it be drawn out and dramatic. I was absolutely broken at the end of the novel, after Feyre broke the bond & sacrificed herself back to Tamlin. Maas did an excellent job of hiding the important details and giving readers such a deep sense of loss before she later reveals their trickery. I am very interested to see how the dynamics of the next novel will work, and if we’ll get dual perspectives like we did at the end of this book. I am also intrigued to see what ends up happening in the Spring Court between Lucien and Feyre, especially since he seems to be knowledgeable of her tricks. I am so excited to see where this takes everyone, and I am counting down the pages until we get a much needed reunion between our favorite couple.Graphic: Grief, Injury/injury detail, Eating disorder, Kidnapping, Torture, Blood, Violence, Gore, War, Confinement, Emotional abuse, and Murder
