Rhys is definitely better than Rowan.(view spoiler)[And yeah, that scene just about broke my heart. (hide spoiler)]

I didnt like Rowan either. I almost lost it when he threatened Aedion for yelling at Aelin. I was like, really? Didnt he punch her in the face in Heir of Fire?

[prag ♻]

I was wondering if anybody (view spoiler)[ever shipped Cassian and Azriel? I did in the beginning, and it feels like I'm the only one. How would that work, anyway? I don't think your mate can be the same gender as you. (hide spoiler)]

[BrookieMonster]

I loved Azriel (view spoiler)[ and Mor too much. Im coming around with Cassien and Nesta. If SJM were to do a same sex ship, I thought it would have been amongst the witches of TOG. (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

Pragya wrote: "I was wondering if anybody [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ there were some people who shipped those two, and were indignant that there are no LGBT couples in the books. I don't even pay attention to that kind of stuff.

I don't think it was ever mentioned mated pairs having to be an hetero couple. (hide spoiler)]

[prag ♻]

Kalia wrote: "I loved Azriel [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[There is one, I don't remember who. I think Manon's second and third...? (hide spoiler)]

Pragya wrote: "Kalia wrote: "I loved Azriel [spoilers removed]"

[spoilers removed]"

Yeah, (view spoiler)[ wasn't there a witch that was kicked out of her coven for it? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Yeah, it wasn't explicitly mentioned, but I when Mor explained the mating bond it was for a female and a male. I'm off to find people who ship Cassian and Azriel! (hide spoiler)]

[spoilers removed]"

Yeah, [spoilers removed]"

I think so. Maybe that's where I got the idea

[Tati]

Re-reading this is amazing. (view spoiler)[ All the little hints that Rhys gives, his reactions, is just amazing. (hide spoiler)]

[BrookieMonster]

Tati wrote: "Re-reading this is amazing. [spoilers removed]"

Im have to re-read the series too. It's taking me longer to finish my current book because my mind keeps wondering back to ACOMF

[Tati]

I know how you feel. I was like that after I first read it. It was the biggest book hangover of the year so far.

[Tati]

Am I the only one who (view spoiler)[ loves loves loves the chapter in the Nightmare Court? (hide spoiler)]

[BrookieMonster]

Tati wrote: "Am I the only one who [spoilers removed]"

No, you are not. That was one of my favorite chapters!
(view spoiler)[
-Rhys with his sweet raunchiness. How he apologized for his fingers being cold and then warmed them. The little things he does for Feyre are just as heart warming as the big things.

-The vibe that the court of dreams gave off. The people in the Night Court were the ones who rebelled against Rhys for his choice of court officials. Those same ones knew not to step out of line when the court of dreams walked in.

-The egg on Mor's father/family's face. To know that not only did they not break her, she is now their unofficial queen. I also loved the little scene between Az and Mor, first time we saw her actually flirt with him. And Mor's dad with his sneaky looks of disgust, knew not to look in Azriel's direction. It's strange that everyone sees Azriel's love for Mor except for Mor.

Sorry for the long comment, but this chapter was just too perfect. (hide spoiler)]

[BrookieMonster]

I hope we get specifics on (view spoiler)[ Mor and Amren's powers in the next book. It was kind of vague in this. We know Amren can alter people's perceptipn, but I get the feeling that her power is way more vast than that.

I think Mor helped Feyre sleep the first night she came to the night court (probably by Rhys's request), because she woke up with a headache. When Mor rescued her from the spring court she said the gaurds would have headaches when they woke up. (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

I also love chapters 54 and 55 (view spoiler)[ when Rhys finds her in the mountain cabin and they finally get together properly (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

Also, I want some novellas about Rhys. His story is so much more than what we've seen so far

[BrookieMonster]

Tati wrote: "Also, I want some novellas about Rhys. His story is so much more than what we've seen so far"

Yes!

[BrookieMonster]

Tati wrote: "I also love chapters 54 and 55 [spoilers removed]"

I felt so bad for him (view spoiler)[ when she threw that plant at him. He knew she was really mad at him. He seemed so vulnerable. And when she left him in the mud and all he could do was call her name smh. I wanted to punch Feyre in the face then, but I was really happy when they got together at the cabin (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

And that chapter we get from his POV at the end?? Why is May so far away??

I know :-(

[Berit☀️✨]

Oh! That was the best! That and the scene with the paint, LOL!

[Tati]

For me, the best part in the paint scene was (view spoiler)[ when he knelt for her. I need to find myself a Rhys LOL (hide spoiler)]

Reading from the 6th of July AND the 23rd of July 2016

Chapter 12: (view spoiler)[ Tamlin is really getting on my nerves. Does he really think that Feyre could possibly put up with him when she has someone else who's willing to give her the freedom that she craves? I get that he's worried and that he's lost people before, but Rhys has lost people and he's willing to train her. Ahhh Tamlin, you have a lot to learn. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

Chapter 23: (view spoiler)[ Yup, I definitely love Rhys A LOT more than Tamlin. He gives her the freedom she needs and deserves while making sure she's protected and being of use. I don't understand why Tamlin couldn't do the same thing. I get that he's mentally scarred from what happened in the last book, but Feyre and Rhys were both there too. In fact, Rhys was there for a long time and he still sees what she needs. Maybe it's the bond between them making it easier for Rhys to see what Feyre needs, but if Tamlin really loves Feyre he would see what she needs too. I'm really rooting for Rhys at this point. I also think Azriel is a very interesting character, not as dark as he appears. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

Chapter 39: (view spoiler)[ I'm starting to think that saying their father is away for business is a lie. I don't really have a good reason for believing that but it's one of those seemingly subtle plot points that could turn out to be something big. In other news, I still love Rhys a lot. I feel like Feyre would be so good with him and they play off of each other really well. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

Chapter 51: (view spoiler)[ I didn't at all suspect that they would be mates. I guess I just assumed that Feyre would know if that were the case but I suppose not. I don't really understand how Feyre hadn't known this entire time, but I can't really blame her because if it's been present since she's become Fae then she wouldn't know any differently. I hope she forgives him soon because I love them so much together. (hide spoiler)]

[Danii]

Starting this now :D

[Danii]

Chapters 1-10: (view spoiler)[ Okay woah, I never thought I'd say that Tamlin was annoying me and I'm not liking him very much in this book. He's so overbearing to Feyre and it's just annoying. But, Sarah J. Maas has really outdone herself with her writing. The details and world building is even better than ACOTAR. I'm so captivated by this book that I can't stop reading. I love Mor so much already, even though she hasn't been in it much so far. And Rhys is definitely growing on me, teaching Feyre to read and write. I've always thought he was interesting, but I'm starting to like him more and more! (hide spoiler)]

[Danii]

Chapters 11-23: (view spoiler)[ I couldn't stop reading and forgot to make an update! Omggggggg I love love love Rhysand and the night court is so gorgeous and Mor and Amren are great! I just love love love all of the new characters and places. This book might just be one of my favorite books EVER. But we'll see how the rest goes :D They're in human land now, SO EXCITED. (hide spoiler)]

[Danii]

Chapters 24-34: (view spoiler)[ Can I just say, I absolutely LOVE all the new courts that we get to see? Night Court is still my favorite so far, but Summer Court is absolutely amazing too! I love Tarquin too, he's wonderful. Spring Court was just so lame compared to these new ones. And ohhhhh Nesta and Elaine again, lmao. Nesta is as feisty as ever! Her and Cassian are hilarious. Still absolutely adorable Rhys more and more as each chapter comes. Feyre is finally getting back to her old self thanks to him. Screw Tamlin. Now if they could just find the damn book.... (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

I hope to start this today or tomorrow. Sorry I am so far behind right now.

[Danii]

(view spoiler)[ Also, I really want to know what Amren is... Some type of vampire Fae since she drinks blood maybe? (hide spoiler)]

[Reena]

I really really love this book. More than ACOTAR. I was a little hesitate since I knew there would be many many scenes with Rhysand (with the bargain and all) because... well... he was jerk in ACOTAR. But... Sarah J Maas really blew me up. I didn't know the story will twisted this way and that, and that there were many reasons behind actions. Not to mention Feyre's journey in finding out who she is. Totally epic! And I think I'm going to reread it.

I hope this isn't (much) spoiler for you to delete it :)

[Danii]

COMPLETELY agree Reena! I'm only 70% done with the book and the whole thing with Rhys had me a little hesitant at first.. But this book is just a completely masterpiece. Sarah is great!

[Danii]

Chapter 51: (view spoiler)[ RHYS IS HER MATE HOLY MOTHER OF CHRIST IM LITERALLY SCREAMING SICNWODNIWNCODMWKXIF (hide spoiler)]

[Danii]

Chapters 58 & 59: (view spoiler)[ FEYRE IS SO BADASS!! HOLY CRAP! That fight scene with the Attor was crazy intense! And when she wiped out all those soldiers OMFGGGGG. She was like "Sorry Rhys, I gotta do this!" And then BAM WATER WOLVES AND BIRDS DROWNING AND KILLING EVERYONE! AND ICE! I can't even get over how cool that was. Feyre, Protector of the Rainbow is right! Go Feyre! :D (hide spoiler)]

[Danii]

Finished: I have absolutely no words for that ending.... Just WOW. I cannot wait for the next book!

**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

[Dannii]

The first 1/4 - (view spoiler)[Such a strong start and I feel reconnected to the world I loved from ACOTAR. I wondered how Maas was going to make both Feyre and the reader start to dislike Tamlin without it feeling forced but she did it perfectly! (hide spoiler)]

[Dannii]

The first 2/4 - (view spoiler)[I am loving Rhysand more and more as thee story goes on. He is so misunderstood and I feel guilty for ever disliking his character in the first book. Maas has aligned both Feyre and the reader together amazingly well. (hide spoiler)]

[Dannii]

The first 3/4 - (view spoiler)[Things are getting steamy in here! Phew! I am also loving seeing the fierce and feisty Feyre from the first book start to emerge again. (hide spoiler)]

[Dannii]

The first 4/4 - (view spoiler)[It is quite rare to have a second installment that is better than the first, but here it is. This is going straight into my recommended reading shelf! (hide spoiler)]

Rereading

Chapter 12

At the part when Ianthe hints at (view spoiler)[ hiring an assassin to kill Rhys she says, "there are some friends that I made across the sea". I wonder if her friends are from Hybern, and if Ianthe and maybe all the high priestesses are in league with the king. (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

I'll try to join in. This will be a reread for me (time 3) <3!

[Laura]

Is anyone reading it? I started two days ago and I'm now at 25%

(view spoiler)[I'm reading it faster than I thought and I'm really enjoying the book. I'm starting to dislike Tamrin a lot and I'm glad Feyre is seeing how he treats her. She's better with Rhys. However, my favourite character so far in this book is Lucien and I hope he gets more importance in the book. (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

It's waiting for me on my night stand! I think once I get through my lab report and molecular bio test my life will be a lot less stressful!
