"lolol Camille and I have been trashing this nonstop so far......OOPS
I'm just so bored and don't care about 99% of the characters and plotexcept oh wait there isn't a plot, it's just Feyre and Rhys being horny all the time and sending each other mental nudes to avoid actual responsibilities"

"the amount of slut shaming in this book (esp. in the case of characters who were assaulted or abused) is off the fucking charts 🙄🙄
to be clear, I'm not saying this book promotes slut shaming, but it's happened more times than I can count and feels like a cheap and overused device to make the antagonists seem more evil. I'm annoyed."

Oh girl .... if you hate it and only if ... go read my "rant-view" ... it's ugly!
Like seriously if you love this book ... don't read my review lol

I mean...I mostly enjoyed the other two books but I definitely still had a lot of complaints about them. So regardless of if I like/dislike this there will prob still be a decent amount of trashing in my review 💁🏼

This is honestly gonna be one of the most scathing reviews I've ever written, prepare yourselves


😬😬 I wouldn't call this fantasy, it's more like an erotica/paranormal romance.






hehehe.......hehe.....he.....I can't make any promises
jk I like Cassian, I just wish the characters on the whole had gotten some actual development in this


hahaha thank you!!! yess EXACTLY it was so tasteless and disrespectful

thank you! I had so many feelings about this, glad people appreciate my angsty book rants <3


im getting the entirety of this review tattooed on my butt i love this!!!
also thank you for the shoutout ily 💕



haha thank you! don't worry, you didn't miss out on much!

im getting the entirety of t..."
you're the best 💕 I feel truly honored, honestly I'd get yours tattooed on my face if that was a socially acceptable thing to do

Everyone seems to be obsessed with him, I don't really get it, either. This was the only book I actually liked him in. And the ouroboros scene was definitely super unnecessary!!
The same thing has happened to me with other books! I think sometimes when it's a series you're already invested in it makes it easier to love a book even if you can see it's somewhat flawed. I am glad you enjoyed it though!!



thank you!!! yeah, I had absolutely no interest in Hybern bc nobody from that side had ANY development....I don't understand how I'm supposed to find him a compelling antagonist???? It's like someone cut out a piece of cardboard and drew an angry face on it and then was like "look at this terrifying force of evil"

Thanks, Elle! I was mostly trying to hold onto the hope that at least one of the ships would be decent in this, but since the characters were all such flat caricatures I didn't even like Cassian and Nesta that much. I thought we would get a lot more development of that relationship, and I was so down for that because enemies to lovers tropes are my fav, but it was so poorly done I lost interest pretty early on.


aww thank you!!! as I'm sure you can tell this was not my favorite book, but I'm glad you were able to enjoy it :)


There are definitely a lot of people who absolutely love this series, so if you're on the fence I'd give it a try! While I didn't care for ACOWAR, I did enjoy the first two books in the series :)

Thank you!! If you didn't like the first one I think it's safe to say that you probably won't like the other two either....but if you're like me you could always give them a try and push through to write a very cathartic book rant

omg thank you so much, I live for connecting with people over book rants!!!
I think it's definitely a good idea to go into this without too many expectations. Although I was able to enjoy ACOTAR and ACOMAF, I definitely had some issues with SJM's writing throughout the series and all of that kinda came to a head in this one. From what I've seen, even her most devoted fans had some issues with this book.
