Review:
In this finale to the series, we finally get to see how things work out after the fallout from trying to steal the cauldron at the end of the last book. It starts with Feyre in Tamlin’s court, but she’s quickly reunited with Rhys. I was worried that may be something drawn out, but the book starts out quickly.
The thing that I love about Maas’ books are that they’re unpredictable. This one felt like there was so much going on that occasionally it was difficult to keep up. We have a lot of new characters and a lot of new backgrounds to try to understand. That isn’t a negative per say, but it does mean that you have to be really paying attention as changes come from every angle.
There were some absolutely fantastic scenes. I loved seeing the negotiations among the different courts and I hope that we’ll be able to see more of those characters in future books. It’s difficult to say much about the ending without revealing spoilers, but needless to say, I wasn’t disappointed. I’d highly recommend this one to anyone who is a fan of the series, but the second book is still my favorite.
Warning: Contains repeated violence and sexual content.
Rating: 5 stars!
