   This BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING, OUTSTANDING, EXQUISITE BOOK HAS NOW BEEN NAMED MY NEW FAVORITE BOOK OF ALL TIME. 
  There is SO much to this storyline and to this series and I am so in love with Sarah J. Maas’s writing it’s beautiful and so well thought out and everything ties together perfectly.
   All the characters in this damn book, well, except for some of them, are SO LOVABLE. SO SO SO LOVABLE. I LOVE Feyre, and she is becoming my favorite main character to a book ever, and I

LOVE RHYSAND, and I LOVE MOR AND AMREN AND CASSIAN AND AZRIEL AND THEYRE JUST SO FUCKING PERFECT I WANNA CRY.

   Anyway to keep it brief this book has an amazing building plot to it, a romance that is an absolute delight, character development, found family, LOVABLE CHARACTERS and SO much that happens in one book but in the best possible way. I 🫶 Sarah J. Maas and will read anything that she writes from now on. 5 WOULDN’T COVER IT. ♾️/5 star rating for this bitch.

Even better than ACOTAR, one of the best books I've ever read.
And the final line... *chef's kiss* (screaming & crying at that ending)

And so Tamlin unwittingly led the High Lady of the Night Court into the heart of his territory.

Very much looking forward to reading the next in the series

I maintain I just cannot understand why this woman is obsessed with the phrase "gobbling down" as in, eagerly taking in the details of something. It makes me think the whole cast are, like, turkeys or something. Wild.

I liked book 2 MUCH more than book 1, there are aspects of this book I wish were less rigid. Also I basically cringe everytime they say “female”

some of the dialogue is cringe but overall easily digestible. if i didn’t mentally replace “mate” with soulmate/partner/wife/etc i wouldn’t have been able to finish. idk why but that is a major ick for me. there’s also a LOT of

convenience to excuse behavior, maybe would have liked for more character development and accountability

By far the best of the ACOTAR series, ACOMAF encapsulates what Sarah J Mass does best. A love triangle rife with tension, a heroine who must overcome past traumas, and an attractive yet morally grey male lead.
