A good sequel. I loved the addition of the Night Court characters. I loved the romance and the ending sets up for an exciting Book 3!

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.

This is better than the first book by leaps and bounds, but Mass still struggles with pacing issues. After the first book, Feyre and Tamlin's relationship is irreparably broken. Desperate to get away from his smothering precense, she leans into her bargain with Rhysand of the Night Court, eventually allying herself with him completely. In theory, the book is about them preparing for war with the fae king Hybern. In actuality, it's long, long stretches of romance between Feyre and Rhys without any mention of the various quests they need to go on in preparation. And even when they do remember, it's often not what Feyre thinks. I liked the interactions between Feyre and Rhys, but Feyre is often the last to figure things out (even as the reader I was usually several steps ahead) and it really bogs down the plot. Both this and ACOTAR could have been a fraction of the length or at least broken into 2-3 books. For as popular as these books are, the pacing and structure is just odd...
