WOW. This one had me going THROUGH IT. What a glorious heart-pounding whirlwind. Alliances lost and found, sweeping war across many lands and climates… this is what a true magical fantasy book should be. Of course I love the romance involved and all of the friendships sewn into the heart of this series, but ACOWAR was definitely heavy on intense battle and strategy and unbridled power, which really drew me in even deeper to that fantasy world where anything could happen. And anything DID happen!! While a little slow through the middle of the story after an incredibly cunning and sharp start, the last 200 pages more than made up for it. Edge of my seat with tears in my eyes, ready to slaughter Hybern like a well-trained Illyrian soldier. It was, in a word, EPIC.

LONG LIVE PRYTHIAN!!!!!

I did like this book a lot, not as much as the second one though. My main issue with it is that it could’ve been split into two normal sized books which could’ve been a lot easier to get through.

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.

Despite this one feeling longer and a bit slower than the previous books, it might have been my favorite? I like how Tamlin's character evolves, I like the twists, I like the complicated politics of the war and everyone's relationships.

I get that this series has its issues, and that some writing choices are mind-numbing and just plain odd, but I sat down and read this 700 page book in two sittings. Troublesome or not, it swept me away and didn’t let me up until the last page. I am deeply disappointed in Morrigan’s resolution, or lack thereof. I hope that if the series continues, she gets more character growth and less trauma. Also, there is no way in hell any kiddo should read this. I’m a sex positive person, but would be seriously pissed if my early teen grabbed this fantasy book from the library when it’s essentially light erotica. But I am decidedly NOT a teen, and enjoyed it a bunch ;)
