***AND ANOTHER EDIT 3/5 
 Time is really not this book's friend. I discussed this with a friend the other day and I realized how I'm really not a fan. So much happened between the perfection (in my opinion) of ACOMAF and this one and none of it really positive besides Lucien's general presence and Azriel tbh. 
 **EDIT: 4 or 4.5 idk 
 So, I have been thinking about this book non-stop as I do with this series and have decided to change my rating. I just keep thinking of all the problems. And a 5 star book shouldn't have problems. I keep going back between 4 and 4.5 but it will probably take a reread for me to actually land on something. I know there is going to be more so some threads were left open, but this really did not feel like a conclusion to this arc. (view spoiler)[ Right, so my problems...1) I am underwhelmed. While reading this my emotions were thrown all over the place, but I am left feeling underwhelmed especially as this is the follow up to ACOMAF a book that owns my soul. I feel like more could have been done with the King of Hybern and the queens and WHAT HAPPENED TO ALIS????? 2) Some characters felt weird to me. Some being Mor. I felt like we missed out on her as a character. It felt like the Mor we left in ACOMAF and started with in ACOWAR were different. I do, however, appreciate the addition of diversity. SJM is learning. Also, like, Rhys not discussing with her how they were going to ally with Keir and Eris like, um, what. Rhys knows better. Feyre was also kind of meh. How she snapped at Mor and then later was so quick to believe that Amren deceived all of them really bothered me. Also, more could have been done with Lucien. It was so awesome with him back in the picture and then he pulls a Chaol and disappears for like half the book (I mean at least it isn't the whole book but still). (hide spoiler)] I love this world and these characters but I feel almost disappointed a couple days after reading ACOWAR. So, I didn't feel comfortable about leaving it at 5. Now, ACOMAF. ACOMAF is a 5 x 1000 and will be my love forever and ever. Maybe I was expecting too much of this one because of it...idk. Anyways, this not feeling like a five star book hurts my soul. So, yeah. Because this is a part of ACOTAR I cannot help but love it, but a part of me just doesn't feel that love as much for this one. 
 INITIAL THOUGHTS: It's been a few hours now and I still haven't found the words to properly and accurately describe how I feel about this book. I am overwhelmed with all the feelings. This was an incredible end to this absolutely fantastic series (or at least from Feyre's pov) and one of my favorite's. I absolutely love this world and the characters, and I am so happy that we don't have to say goodbye yet. These books stand for every reason that I read: to travel to distant places, go on great adventures, to feel a little less lonely and connect with characters, and to experience all the emotions that a book may invoke. Thanks SJM for sharing this world and allowing us to go on this journey, and I cannot wait to see what is next!
