 WOWWWW this took me so long to finish, but in my defense I lost steam after Mist and Fury as I felt like nothing could top it. The beginning of this was really slow, middle picked up a little bit and the end absolutely SLAPPED ME in my face. Mist and Fury is still my favorite but this one was really good too.

I'm not going to lie, I don't even remember most of the first half of this book. I've been reading this since February and it's August hahahahahahahaaahaa but I do remember my FAVORITE scene in this entire book which was when

Spoiler

Lucien and Feyre are running from Lucien's shitty brothers in the Autumn Court and get cornered on an ice lake and CASSIAN AND AZRIEL LAND TO SAVE THEM AND CASSIAN GOES "I suggest you drop my lady."

THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT!!!

BUTTTT this book takes the cake for sure on making me cry the most out of the entire series so far. Everything after the war starts was just flooding straight from my eyeballs. Couldn't stop even if I tried AND it made it hard to read. I don't think I breathed for 10 chapters. I'm excited for this novella with no mean or sad or upsetti spaghetti things in it because I need a friggin break.

This book has a lot more action and story than the other books, which are based more on emotion and relationships. Some weird plot twists, as always, and a bit of deus ex machina. Though the book was still very enjoyable

I also wish some of the characters had actually stayed dead. But I won’t complain too much
