This. Book. Broke. Me.. quite possibly my favorite book of all time. The action was intense and present throughout. The strength of the characters I had already fallen in love with was inspiring. And the emotions I felt while reading were ridiculous. I cried and laughed and literally held my breath at points. Fantastic ending to the main trilogy of ACOTAR.

I absolutely fell in love with this book, and I totally didn't expect to. But I couldn't put the story down, and with every turn of the page, I found myself more invested in the characters and their world. It's a must read for anyone looking for a story that's new, interesting, and packed with court conflicts. It's like Wicked King Meets ACOTAR!!!!!!

My favorite book EVER!
This book made me extremely emotional and I absolutely love it. I still re-read whenever I can't find anything new to read. Feyre has changed due to the challenges she faced in the previous book, ACOTAR. This book is the story of her epic love, new cities, sisterly challenges, finding herself, and comparing wingspans (?). I highly recommend this series! ❤❤❤

LIFE CHANGING
I am obsessed. This book has instantly become my all time favourite book. I don't know how Sarah J Maas does it, but she creates such amazing characters, you have no choice but to fall in love with them. I didn't know I needed this book until after I had read it.
We are introduced to so many new characters, with such complex backgrounds and offer so much to the plot. ACOMAF is a huge step up from ACOTAR, there is so much character development and world building. There were some aspects of the book that weren't flushed out to my liking, but it was only minor details.
Definitely pick up this book if you've already read ACOTAR. I wasn't a huge fan of the series, but this book will make you fall in love with the world and all the characters!

THE FEELS
ACoMaF is my favourite book of the three in this series! There is so much more action, making the pacing faster. I liked ACoTaR well enough (though I felt there was much to be desired), but this second book blew me away.

I wasn't very fond of Feyre in the first book, but she grew on me in this one. I didn't really like Tamlin, and I was delighted to find my instincts were right. I also was intrigued by Rhysand in the first book, and he quickly became one of my favourites. I really liked the new characters Maas introduced in this one. I found them to be memorable.

If you got through ACoTaR but didn't particularly like it, I urge you to peek into this book and see if it piques your interest. I know a lot of people who felt lukewarm about the first book, but ended up being HUGE fans of this series because of this second book!

WOW I was surprised by this one. I read this for a book club, after being recommended to read it a few times because I loved ACOTAR so much. I ended up loving this as well!! It's such an interesting story and I'm definitely going to be continuing the series. With that being said, one of the pros listed as reasons to read this book was that it was super spicy, and with that I'll have to disagree. The sexual tension is there, sure. But the actual steamy scenes didn't start until the last 100 pages and even then they weren't as outrageous as I'd been told. So if you're purely here for spice, I urge you to stay for the plot. If that doesn't matter to you then I recommend this for sure!

I first heard about this series several months before the third book was released. I was interested because it is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. I didn't know what to expect as I had never read a Maas book before; little did I know this would become one of my favourite book series!

Out of the three books, ACoTaR is my least fave, but I think it is still a good book. I couldn't put it down (despite lack of much action for most of the book), and started on the second book asap.

I wasn't very fond of the main character Feyre in this first book, and I didn't particularly like Tamlin. I was intrigued by Rhysand, and liked Lucien.

I am so glad I got into this series, and would recommend it.

Character development overall isn't as satisfying

Some of the plot feels forced
I'm conflicted about this book. I definitely liked it better than ACoTaR, but ACoMaF was so incredible that I had high expectations for the third book, and some parts of it just fell flat.

The first bit pacing is a bit slow, but picks up. There were times I felt the writing was a bit cheesy and/or melodramatic, and at times repetitive. For the second book, there was a lot of sexual tension, but in this book it just seems like excessive sexy times since they're already together. A lot of the plot felt forced.

Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed reading this book! But it definitely felt more like a "guilty pleasure" read.
