• Okay it put me in a pretty big reading slump not gonna lie. Like i picked up to other books in an attempt to get me to keep reading it. But the plot was so tense at certain points that it kept me interested. I did hate that the whole book was centered on war and politics like i could’ve cared less. Why did it take them 700+ pages for the war to happen in the last 200. I was not amused. Even though we hate Tampon i would like to give him a hug for being lonely now. Like it wasn’t his fault he had attachment issues well maybe it was but i don’t know if i would want him to drop his roll as high lord of the spring court to go be with luicien at velaris. But also how is Az and Luic gonna fall in love with Elain like im dancing on the edge ready to find out. What else are they to face now that hybern is gone ??? Idk if I’ll continue reading or not havent decided yet.overall it was an okay book I wouldn’t 100% recommend it though.

Ok I’m liking how azriel has opened up more. Bro and the fact that Feyre saw the little boy (the bone carver)

who is gonna be her son.   

I have no idea what amren is and honestly she’s so hot. Like extremely. And her and nesta??? Literally diabolical, actually going to destroy this world. 

Ok I finished it and wow. Just wow.

Amren was unleashed which was beautiful. She killed every Hybren soldier in her path. Amazing. But the cauldron wasn’t in great shape they had to fix it and then Rhysand died. Bro so did their dad. The bone carver and the weaver. 

Genuinely so sad. Braxis also escaped. Funny fellow. I loved those 3 together.

Why does Cassian always have to be crawling to someone?

Cant he ever be happy?

I also genuinely thought nesta was about to lose her mind, the head scene??? I wonder if her powers were taken like Amren’s.

Mor bro MOR. She’s gay and I love that for her. 

So is Helion, bro I hope the lady of autumn and him reconcile. Like physically and literally. Because Beron is a complete dick

I’m so upset that no one’s telling Lucien that he’s actually his father and not beron??? Like he should know. And when Feyre and Rhysand made the bargain that they’d die together

😭😭😭😭 dead, literally pun intended

Amazing! Second favorite in the series now, mist and fury being first. It is more plot and war based than character based which I didn’t think I would love as much as I did. I’m not one for battle scenes, reading them can be tough to get through, but I loved these. They were so descriptive and made me feel like I was watching it through a screen. Didn’t think war would be one of my favorite things about the book but the writing was just perfect. And the character building; even with less character building focus, it was amazing. It was found family mixed with actual blood family and it was beautiful. Amazing

After the negative things I hear about this series including this book I assumed wrong. I actually very much enjoyed this book it’s started off slow but her writing does improve more with each book. The story is very character driven and it’s actually the first book to make me feel emotions for these characters. This series finally got me back into reading ACOMAF was very good I would say that MAF is hard to beat but this book is one of my close favorites so far. Loved it!
