I went into ACOMAF thinking it was going to be all smut and a bit overhyped… I was wrong! This book completely defied my expectations.

What this book is actually about is depression and healing and found family and actual true love. The Spring Court just ignoring how miserable Feyre was and that she was wasting away was awful. Rhys stepping in not to “save her” but help her save herself is the exact ML we all want. Most of the novel focuses on Feyre’s very real trauma and her finding her strength again while trying to prepare for the looming threat of Hybern. 

The ROMANCE omg. I love romance novels that are more about the story. I prefer that the coupling feels like a right next step and not just a gratuitous sex scenes. The build up of trust in each other and in themselves was so good that i bawled during Chapter 54 and left 55 for a later date. 

Very much looking forward to the next novel!
