Okay so. I didn't necessarily care for the first book, until probably the last 150ish pages. So I dragged my feet getting into the second book, though I've owned all three since the third came out. I am trying to get through the books I decided I wanted to read this year recently (a list I made back in January) so I sighed and picked this book up.

Sigh.

I loved this book. Every bit of it. To the point I couldn't put it down last night, and it took everything in me to put it down briefly to finish a book for a podcast episode. This is everything I was missing in the first book. World building? Check. A female main character who wallows in her sadness but THEN IS ABLE TO COME OUT OF IT, and not solely because of "oh a boy likes me? Score. I am cured."

This book has new characters - from the moment that "Morrigan" was uttered, I knew I was stuck. I always am a sucker for a Morrigan. But Cassian, Azriel, Amren? I love them all.

It's hard not to compare this book to Twilight as there is a Night Highlord and a Beastly Highlord, but it takes the aspects that over time have made me meh to the series and makes it better.

The War concept had me interested, the added will they/won't they...I swore I would never care for Rhysand, but welp, I was wrong. The politics and the new lands - I loved all of it. I love the threat of a love triangle and how it's actually handled, I love that this isn't a romance book with fantasy aspects (Which is kind of how I felt ACOTAR felt.)

I'm worried about book 3 as those who seemed to feel the same way as me for book 1 and 2...did not care for book 3. I think I'll add it to my running play list to stretch it out a bit.
