RATING: 3.5

OKAY SOOOOOO

I really did enjoy this BUT I cannot justify a five star review for this because I mean WHERE WAS THE PLOT?!

I was happy to be back with my favs but this is literally 200+ pages of shopping, painting, Rhys & Feyre making one decision, and talking. AND THAT'S IT.

Let me rant first and then I'll tell you what I loved, okay? This was supposed to be the bridge between ACOWAR and the spin-off novels, but it wasn't because by the end of this story nothing happened for anything to get resolved. What was the bridge between ACOWAR and the next book was literally the EXCERPT FROM BOOK 4. So technically, we could have done without this and had book 4 a year sooner, just sayin'. #bitter

I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion or not but I'm kinda done with Rhys & Feyre, don't get me wrong they're still one of my OTP's but I mean coooooome on. It's getting to the point where their perfectness is causing the risk of my eyeballs to get stuck in the back of my head to rapidly increase. Again, I love them but three books was enough. Let's not beat a dead horse.

And last, WHERE WAS THE WEDDING, HUH?!?! I've been waiting what feels like my entire life for it since Rhys & Feyre decided to be rude and sneak behind our backs and get married and there was all this hype about a wedding THAT NEVER HAPPENED. Again, RUDE.


Now before you think I hate this book entirely here are some things I did LOVE.

-Nesta being her usual bitchy self. WERK HONEY
-Cassian calling Amren an angry snowball
-Amren not understanding how to pee
-Mor accusing Rhys of taking forever to get dressed
-A lil backstory about Cassian's life
-Snowball fights
-Amren squealing when getting jewels
-Cassian & Feyre attempted to decorate for Solstice while drunk
-The cake Elain baked for Feyre's birthday *i cri*

Some of my favorite quotes from this:

“My mate—who had worked so hard and so selflessly, all without hope that I would ever be with him. We had both fought for that love, bled for it. Rhys had died for it.��

“Dangerous words, Rhysand,�� Amren warned, strutting through the door, nearly swallowed up by the enormous white fur coat she wore. Only her chin-length dark hair and solid silver eyes were visible above the collar. She looked�� “You look like an angry snowball,�� Cassian said.��

“I love you,�� he breathed. “More than life, more than my territory, more than my crown.��

“The weaver went on, “I have to create, or it was all for nothing. I have to create, or I will crumple up with despair and never leave my bed. I have to create because I have no other way of voicing this.��

"So training these women, giving them the resources and confidence to fight back, to look beyond their campfire... it was for her. For the mother buried here, perhaps buried nowhere."

“And in the end, though, we'd saved each other. All of us had.��

So yeah, overall while I was happy to be back with my favs I am kinda bummed that nothing really happened. HOWEVER, the excerpt of book 4 has me dyyyyying for 2019 to hurry the hell up because it is literally my DREAM COME TRUE!!!
