The events of this book sometimes felt too “easy.” Almost like our protagonists were handed whatever solution they needed on a silver platter. I didn’t worry if any of them would die because everything leading up to this had gone their way and had gone so smoothly, which goes into my next issue. I wasn’t worried about any of the protagonists at all during the final war scenes, which didn’t feel right. They lacked the intensity that I felt they should’ve had the same intensity that I felt during ACOTAR as our characters battled Aramantha, or even the same intensity that I felt at the beginning of ACOWAR as Lucien and Feyre fled from Tamlin. One example of this was the battle scenes at the end of the book as they faced off against Hybern. Problems that didn’t come up in the other books. However, there were some aspects of this book that I had problems with. I’m pleased with the character development and the world as a whole I feel like is very well developed. It was beautifully crafted and I have truly fallen in love with our cast of characters, and I felt very attached to them all. I adore the way she writes and how she weaves her stories, and this was no exception. Sarah’s writing is as beautiful and lyrical as ever. I struggled with what to rate this book because I have a lot of conflicting feelings. As war bears down upon them all, Feyre must decide who to trust amongst the dazzling and lethal High Lords-and hunt for allies in unexpected places. But to do so she must play a deadly game of deceit-and one slip may spell doom not only for Feyre, but for her world as well. I was the nightmare.įeyre has returned to the Spring Court, determined to gather information on Tamlin’s maneuverings and the invading king threatening to bring Prythian to its knees. WARNING: There will be spoilers in this review!Ī nightmare, I’d told Tamlin.
