I absolutely love this series as a whole, it's become one of my all time favorites, but this is the book I liked the least of the three. When I finished A Court of Mist and Fury it was so good that all I wanted to do was start reading it again, and that didn't happen here. As good as it was, I felt like it dragged at some points and I didn't really like what happened with Rhys at the end.

Obviously he was going to give everything he had because that's who he is, but the fact that he comes back in the same way Feyre did just felt unoriginal. It could have been done some other way that didn't feel like using the same old trick.

The characters, though. I love them (at least the ones that matter). I fell in love with Rhys in the first book and even more in the second. But in this one I was all about Cassian. Nesta I'm still torn between loving her and wanting to slap her for being so narrow-minded and pushing everyone away before they can even try to know her. But she's an interesting character and there could be a great story there if it's done right. Elain is the only one I don't really care for at all.

And then there's Tamlin. I felt meh about him for most part of the first book and ended up disliking him, then hated him even more during the second book and now I think I'm just back to meh again. I wish him and Feyre would've talked things out like adults, there needed to be some closure there. And Lucien needs to know about his father, I don't get why that's left out.
