“We’re all broken… in our own ways- in places no one might see.”
This book destroyed me. Not only was it the first book to make me tear up, it was also the first book to ever make me full-on cry in 20 years of reading.
At the end of the last book, Feyre returned to the Spring Court in hoping to spy on King Hybern through Tamlin’s alliance. This puts her in a perilous position with a man who has repeatedly shown trouble controlling his temper and containing his power.
As war inevitably grows closer, Feyre takes her place and begins attempting to master her magical and political powers in a delicate balance. Feyre and Rhysand desperately need allies to stand a chance, and they seek the other High Lords of the Courts of Prythian. Not sure who to trust, they begin a dangerous dance while searching for allies in even the unlikeliest of places.
Once again, there wasn’t a single thing I didn’t like about this book. I’ve felt that way about all of them, and Maas continues to outdo herself with every release. As I said, I teared up for the first time. I also sobbed full-on for the first time. Both times were for sentimental reasons relating to the story that had nothing to do with negativity or anything going wrong. The emotions depicted were so real I felt them myself. The character development is still outstanding in this novel. The way the politics play out, the relationships within the story, and the selflessness of some of the characters, all come together remarkably.
If you’ve loved the other two, you won’t be disappointed. A solid five out of five stars yet again.
