When I tell you I screamed, I laughed, and I cried you have no choice to believe it. The last line on page 798 made me so excited. I am ready for the next CC book and the next

ACOTAR book

. The spice is incredible, and I have definitely fallen into Maas destruction once again.

Holy shit! I just finished this book and I don't know what to say. It was absolutely fantastic!
I truly don't know how she does it but Sarah J Maas always manages to capture me with her books. This one was no different. Throughout all 800 pages I never wanted to stop reading. I think this series is truly my favourite ever!

I am in love with the characters. I love love love them all so much. I like how we get to know even the side characters and none of them are flat. They all have a personality and history, wishes and doubts. The world is so clearly painted that I feel like I'm living there. In this book especially we get to know a lot about the history of Midgard and it's super interesting.

This book is so well thought out and so realistic while still being high fantasy, hella funny, without any information bombing and I just had a great time reading it. I mean I was going through a rollercoaster of emotions to say the least. One of my favourite things about the Cresent City books is how something horrible can happen but still the characters make you laugh. The story is just so captivating I can't really begin to explain my love for these books.

Okay I can't help it, I have to get into spoilery territory now.

WHATTHEFUCK was the ending???? I'm so excited for the next book I'm actually screaming.
I generally didn't like the idea of all of SJMs books being connected but somehow now I'm just excited. ACOTAR is my second favourite series ever and I just can't help being excited. This was a HUGE surprise but a great one for sure. As soon as she landed in 'Hel' I knew that was not where she was. She met Rhysand and Feyre and Azriel and all the others. It feels so weird like one favourite fictional character jumped into another world of my other favourite fictional characters and they get to meet and I'm just like I WANT TO BE THERE TOO!!!!
I'm so jealous of Bryce I can't help it hahah

But also I just really need to know what now happend with the others. I mean as much as I want Bryce to go on adventures with the ACOTAR inner circle I need Hunt and Ruhn to be okay. I really don't know what SJMs plan is now. Is the next book going to be A Court of... or House of... ? Are they even at the same time? I still don't quite understand everything going on there but it doesn't lessen my excitement.

Also THE HIND IS AGEND DAYBRIGHT? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK??? I was so surprised when I read this but also super happy beause it makes so much sense and it adds to the drama and I'm just so excited for the next book. I honestly wish I could just binge ACOTAR again and then binge all the Cresent City books. Idk I guess I should probably read Throne of Glass now since it is the only series by SJM I haven't read.. but I just think that there is no way these books can even be half as good as ACOTAR or Cresent City..

Okay so to finally come to and end here are my final thoughts (for now idk I might add something to this review in a few days - I doubt this will let go of my brain anytime soon)

This book was amazing. A great second part to HOEAB and I can't wait for the third book to come out. It is full of adventure and intrigue and love and friendship and loss and secrets and bad people and good people and bad people that are actually good. I don't think any series will ever be able to compare to this. It makes me quite sad actually because I love the characters and the story so much I don't want it to ever end.
I will happily wait a long time for the next books to come out and read them all. Who knows, maybe SJM will die after me and write until the day she dies. I truly hope that is the case because these books are a part of me now and I have to know how they end or I will be so absolutely upset!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After the second time reading this I still absolutely LOVE IT!!
So much happens during the last 50 pages and I'm so happy that this time I can continue reading and find out what is happening after this immense cliffhanger!

I forgot lots of what happened during this book but I also really enjoyed the new perspective. It was great being able to focus on the small things and hints especially when you already know the plot twists. I'm very excited for CC3!
