Wow, I’m getting whiplash over here trying to figure out where our allegiances lie. I’m loving all of the Night Court character development, found family is one of my favorite of all the tropes.

The feels being evoked are a little too real in this series. It's not just faeries trucking. Question who's the hero and who, the villain.

5.0

This book was phenomenal. From the character arcs to plunging plot twists, this book was nothing less than a roller coaster of emotions. Firstly, I personally enjoyed Feyre’s character development and healing a lot more in this book than the second. Second of all, this is not a romance, primarily(at least in my opinion). This is a political fantasy (a very well-done one too), with wars betrayals, politics of relations between Courts and division between them, everything was full of action and drama. I will say I have predicted quite a lot of the plot, yet it was still very enjoyable and exciting! This was a great build-off from the previous book, and I can’t wait to see how the author evolves the story in the next one!

5.0

An all-consuming rush of brilliant imagery, cunning battle and tense action, beautiful companionship, deliciously sexy and sweet romance. I was utterly entranced the entire 624 pages as Feyre continued her fight for her loved ones, her new friends, her soulmate, and her own beating human heart within a new immortal body.

I LOVE RHYSAND TO INFINITY AND BEYOND. What a magnificent creature. Maas crafts his heartbreaking story so flawlessly, intersecting purposefully with Feyre’s even from the first moment they met in the first book. I was blown away by every detail revealed.

Also… HE LETS HER BEJEWELED. IYKYK!!!

“But I was his mate. He would yield only for me.”

I can’t wait to see what happens next between the High Fae and the mortal realm as they go to swiftly into that dark night…
