• 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.

This book completely destroyed me. My god what a whirlwind of adventure, war, loss, hope, and so many other aspects and emotions!!

I haven’t found books that have left me sad that the world is not real, in such a long time. But good lord these books!!! I keep telling myself I’ll take a break from the series after the end of the book….. but then I can’t help but come back to these characters and loose myself in the world once again.

I have officially become a ACOTAR fan. And I don’t think anything will be changing that.
