"What we think to be our greatest weakness can sometimes be our biggest strength." 🩷

This was an absolute whirlwind of a read, a total rollercoaster of emotions.  There were moments I literally gasped aloud – the twists and turns kept me guessing right until the very end!  The stakes were so high, and Sarah J Maas expertly wove together a complex plot that kept me guessing about everyone's motivations and loyalties.  I especially loved seeing the redemption arcs for Nesta, Tamlin, and Lucien.  It added such depth and complexity to their characters, making their journeys all the more compelling and realistic, even in a fantasy setting.  It's not easy to redeem yourself, and that struggle was portrayed beautifully. At the heart of the story though Feyre and Rhysand 🩷. Their connection is undeniable, and I absolutely adore that Feyre has found her soulmate in Rhysand, with her feelings so clearly reciprocated.  Their relationship is a source of strength and hope amidst the chaos of war.  It's a beautiful and powerful bond.  This book is a fantastic addition to the series, and I'm already dying to jump into the next installment!  The world-building is so rich and immersive, and I can't wait to see what adventures await Feyre and her court next.
