This series has just gotten better with every book. I love the way Feyre uses her new skills in this. The small comedic moments between the major plot points. Her snark to everyone. We get to visit more Courts, and get heavy amounts of description, and it's beautiful. There was a lot of drama in this one as Feyre's sisters feature heavily. I love the way secrets are built and then revealed. I also really liked the bit of redemption we see for some of the people the main cast pissed off. I am not a huge fan of battles being heavily described. The battle scenes were very to the point, which I enjoyed. I struggled with Tolkien due to the battle scenes. I appreciate that though most of the plot for this is War, it's not like, heavily gorey. 

I did not like some of the twists. Stop making me cry. Ugh. That was pretty much my only dislike.

  • 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.

I‘d say the pace is a bit weird at places. The first 100p a lot happens, then nothing for 300p or so and then the finale hits. That finale is grand though. And though I wish some characters had been integrated into the sory better and focused on more, if you love the main characters you‘ll have a splendid time.
The author is very good at
capturing the main characters’ trauma as well as writing genuine horror elements into the plot where you least expect them.
Any complains I do have mostly stem from the previous two installments and differnece in taste between me and the author. I can respect that she focuses on other aspects of the story and characters and her disregard for things I would have love to see.

The main characters have plot armor thicker than Kallias' fur coat.

If they die, let them die. Don't bring them all back immediately. It's a war god damn it, let the stakes be higher than the bar I have for men (it's on the floor). The whole ending left me disappointed.
