I don’t know how I’ve not written this review yet but I rated it 5 stars so obviously I’m a fan. I love this journey I’ve gotten to take with Feyre and Co. and seeing her relationship with Rhys flourish. There was so much happening at some points of the story that it was a bit overwhelming, and I’m not the biggest fan of war/battle scenes but I think SJM wrote it well enough that it didn’t drag on into boring territory for me. I wish Mor’s story would have been fleshed out before this book, even just hinted at a bit more, because it does feel a bit like an after thought for representations sake. I loved getting to know Feyre’s sisters and my heart ached so much for Elaine and Nesta as they experienced their own versions of mourning. The part where their father comes back was heartbreakingly beautiful and as much as I wish it had panned out differently, I understand the power that scene held for the sisters.
