Summary:

Feyre has returned to the Spring Court, determined to gather information on Tamlin’s actions and learn what she can about the invading king threatening to bring her land to its knees. But to do so she must play a deadly game of deceit. One slip could bring doom not only for Feyre, but for everything-and everyone-she holds dear.

As war bears down upon them all, Feyre endeavors to take her place amongst the High Fae of the land, balancing her struggle to master her powers-both magical and political-and her love for her court and family. Amidst these struggles, Feyre and Rhysand must decide whom to trust amongst the cunning and lethal High Lords, and hunt for allies in unexpected places.

My Thoughts:

So much crying.

First off, I loved Feyre in this book – unercover boss b*tch, sly cruel High Lady of the Night Court, so powerful and hell bent on stopping the war and Hybern as a whole.

Second, I was heartbroken watching everything with her sisters. It is devastating seeing it from her perspective.

The war was written so so so well, and again, so.many.tears. This is my third reread and I still cried through like half of this book. It was so powerful, so full of emotion, it just got to me every single time.

We got to see the Suriel again, we saw war, we met with the high lords, we loved and lost, just so many things and emotions happened in this book.

Ill say it again in this review, but I think Tamlin deserves a redemption arc. I also think Lucien deserves so much more than he has now.

I would absolutely go feral for novellas about the other high lords, especially a super spicy one about Helion! Can we please have this?

This book has so much packed into it I don’t even know how to coherently write my review.

The one negative thing I have to say about this book is that I hated that Rhys died and we did the kernel of power thing to bring him back. I don’t think he should have died at all! It could have been Feyre putting it back together and loses a bunch of her powers, or Nesta and Elaine come help her, or all the high lords work together with her to close it. I just think he was 1 person to many to die and come back to life. I don’t want him to sacrifice like that, and it was unnecessary. The dad coming and then dying was enough sadness.

Everything else was oh so good!

A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas is book 3 in the ACOTAR series.

Worthy of a Re-read.
