• 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 have been really enjoying this series so far, enjoyed the increase in plot compared to ACOMAF (not that i didnt LOVE acomaf). I could REALLY do without the constant mentions of rape and sexual assault but I guess I am used to them by now. The descriptive imagery is unparalleled, I felt so immersed in Maas's writing and I cannot wait to start ACOSAF tomorrow!

I read this book so quickly; I could not put it down!!! Feyre's development went OFF! There were some really tense scenes and, again, so many Maas-esque twists and turns. However, I wish there were some actual character deaths. It seems that Maas added some "deus ex machina" plotlines/characters to ensure no main characters died. I think the plot would've been more poignant if we saw some actual sacrifices made. Of course, I want to see all these characters thriving; however, it just did not seem realistic. There are also sooo many unanswered questions at the end, which do not seem to be addressed in the conclusion.
