Nor has Feyre forgotten her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court. As Feyre navigates its dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a greater evil looms—and she might be key to stopping it. But only if she can harness her harrowing gifts, heal her fractured soul, and decide how she wishes to shape her future—and the future of a world cleaved in two.




Review:

*SPOILER FREE*


I have so much to say about this book. First of all, let me tell you with just one word what I think of it: Perfection.

While reading this I had so many different thoughts, feelings, fears, tears, smiles, laughs and so on. 
I've waited a whole year for this book, like a lot of people have as well, so the anticipation and great expectations I had were major. I loved A Court of Thorns and Roses so, so much that I knew for sure that Sarah J. Maas wouldn't disappoint me with this one but I started this story with my mind set on one thing and when the plot went the other way around I wanted to burn the book.
Disclaimer: No books were harmed in the process of reading A Court of Mist and Fury.


But! (there's always a but), I fell in love with character I hated and got angry, disappointed and sad with characters I previously loved. Sarah J. Maas has this power to change your thoughts towards her creations that is outstanding!



This book contains beautiful writing, a lot of plot twists, snarky and sarcastic comments which made me laugh so hard, heart-pounding suspense and the most awesome, sexy, swoon worthy romance ever.
It's impossible not to fall in love with this story and every single chapter it contains.



Let's talk about character development.

Feyre. For me she was the character who showed the most improvement while the other characters simply gave us more information about themselves or changed from one book to the other since some previous actions influenced the ones in this book.
We got to see Feyre being a bad ass girl in A Court of Thorns and Roses and in this book... DAMN GIRL, YOU GOT SOME SKILLS! But before she's all bad ass and stuff, she's broken like it's mentioned on the synopsis. After everything that happened with Amarantha it's understandable the state that Feyre is through the first chapters. What makes her heal, the action that help her get better is what made my thoughts towards some characters change.


Still gonna leave this review spoiler free so I'm not going to prolong myself even more. I really recommend this book to everyone but you have to read A Court of Thorns and Roses first before you dive into this one.
