Wow...just, wow! The love that I’ve developed for SJM’s books is insane, I can barely contain myself. ACOWAR is beautifully written. After finishing ACOMAF I couldn’t keep myself from reading on. Sarah’s ability to create strong, significant, and rounded characters is beyond almost anything I’ve ever read before. Feyre, taking on a new role in the Night Court. Mor, revealing her true self-identity (which I have to say was one of the most heart-warming scenes in the book). Rhysand, juggling his position as family and High Lord. Cassian and Nesta...I have to say that I’m in love with what they have and I want it. Lucien and Elain...not so much a fan of this pairing but the way Lucien deals with it is cute nonetheless. And Azriel, our sweet baby Az, he’s perfect as always. 

The world that SJM creates is vibrant, full of color, and real. Well, real for me at least. I laughed, punched the air, grit my teeth, screamed, and sobbed and sobbed and sobbed. I know there’s two more books available already after this one but ACOWAR is one of those in a series that you wish never had to end.
