This book just became my favourite of the series. It was so so good. Starting in the Spring Court made me already excited and then the end, oh. my. god. The hype I felt while reading this book, it was incredible. 
So well written! So heartbreaking, and so many twists, but so good! 
I don't have words for it, but I can say i really enjoyed reading all of it. From begin to end. Bat boys, go!

I enjoyed the start but when it got to the middle I just felt like there was a lot of nothing going on and it was very repetitive. The ending is the best part I would say. There is a LOT of good stuff that goes on and that is the only thing that makes it worth reading I think. It's good and I'd recommend the series but SJM needs to know how to shorten as some of it I feel was unnecessary. Also, what is this "vulgar gesture" mentioned throughout??? LIKE GIVE US SOME DETAIL??? She gives detail about everything else except this.

Wowee! Feyre was really in her side quest era in this book! From Tams court, to talking to Suri, to the mirror, to the Byraxis, to Elain, to flying, SHES BUSY! 

The first 500 pages made me think this book was gonna be 4 stars, cause it was a smidge slow, but the last 200 really made up for it. Every time my parents tried to converse with me during that time, I had to tell them, “Can’t talk, I’m at war.”

Those pages made me verbally scream “WHAT?!”, “YAY!”, “OH MY GOD!”, “NO!!!!!!” And lastly, “HUH??!”

Twas a very fun rollercoaster! The lore in this world is crazy! 

Overall, I felt like the last book was essentially the love story of two characters and in this book, I felt like it was a different kind of love story. Like it was focused on the love they shared, but also the love that they hold for their people, their family, and their dreams for what their world could become. 

I LIKED IT, DAMMIT! 

FROST AND STARLIGHT IM COMING FOR YOU NEXT!

It's tough to be the book that follows ACOMAF, but ACOWAR does the job. 

Feyre is back with a vengeance, she's very different to the classic female main character we met in the first book. She's powerful, dangerous, and has no issues with killing to get what she wants, even though

it effected her so much after what happened Under the Mountain???

. It did feel like quite a dramatic change of character from the last two books, but after everything that's happened, it makes sense. 

I wish longer was spent on

the war. It felt over far too quickly, with only a handful of battles it didn't feel like a lot was at stake. Hybern felt like a faceless force of killable footsoldiers, instead of something terrifying.

 

The action is great as usual. Love the writing style and descriptions. The plot was good, it felt like there was a lot at stake, and even though there was lots happening, I felt like I could follow along quite well. 

I would give this an age rating of at least 16+.

Lots of questions remain unanswered, and it has definitely left room for more stories to be written in this series, which I look forward to! But you could totally finish reading the series here, it rounds off in quite a nice way. It feels like the end of a trilogy. 

Overall, if you've made it through the first two books, you might as well read this one too! 8/10

This book has the most plot development in the series but it is very long. The beginning hooks you in, the middle can be a little boring, but the end of this book is amazing.

There's a lot of war in this book. I'm not a huge fan of it, but I was entertained when Feyre

made friends with 'monsters'.

Fearless as ever! 

I feel like we didn't get enough of Rhysand, but maybe I am just being greedy because I want him in EVERY chapter. 

SO MUCH DEATH! I got a bit teary-eyed and had to close the book for a few hours before I could open it up again. So many secrets were revealed too! 

I can't believe I am saying this, but I can't dislike Tamlin anymore, not after what he did

for Rhysand

, that doesn't mean I like him! He said so many hurtful things! 

This may be very unpopular, but I just couldn't stand Feyre's sisters. It was so hard to read when they came up because they were infuriating. Alas, they won me over in the end, but I don't necessarily love them. 

What a great book, not sure what happens after this, seemed like a finale to me but I know there are more books to this series. I can't wait to read them!
