IaEUR(tm)m sorry to say that this book was a hate-read for me. I know now that the GR community is torn when it comes to this book especially, but I have to give it 2 stars. 
 This review will feature more criticism than praise. But keep in mind itaEUR(tm)s just one personaEUR(tm)s opinion of a book that will likely mean nothing to the larger audience or impact the bookaEUR(tm)s success. 
 HereaEUR(tm)s a simple breakdown of my impression of the formula for ACOWAR: 
 1.		Sex with Rhysand 
 2.		Plan a thing 
 3.		Big unplanned thing happens 
 Repeat steps 1-3 until you get to the final confrontation. 
 Seriously, everything about this book was b-o-r-i-n-g and repetitive. Reading it was an absolute chore. The only good thing about ACOWAR for me, was the last one-hundred pages, because I knew it was ending soon. 
 IaEUR(tm)m not gonna lie, I couldnaEUR(tm)t stomach Feyre and Rhysand in this book. I rolled my eyes at almost every one of their interactions, because they are barely tolerable when together. TheyaEUR(tm)re the golden couple (for some reason???), but I couldnaEUR(tm)t muster even a single grain of fake enthusiasm for them, and I just didnaEUR(tm)t care about anything they had going on, like at all, at any point in the story. 
 Feyre and Rhysand are obnoxious; the development of their relationship in ACOMAF is reduced to that of constantly horny teenagers in ACOWAR. For example, Rhys needs to bang Feyre so badly that he dismisses everyone from their townhouse, and she makes Lucien - her friend, filthy and hungry after days of escaping for his life - wait on the couch while they go upstairs to screw. They couldnaEUR(tm)t show him a bathroom or give him a damn sandwich?? 
 Sex is the bulk of Feyre and RhysandaEUR(tm)s relationship. Without it, they would have nothing in common. All of the spark they had is now just annoying sexual innuendos. Their conversations legit go something like this every five pages: 
 Feyre: War is coming soon. 
 Rhysand: War is not the only thing that will coming soon *winks down the bond* 
 Please, shut UP. 
 FeyreaEUR(tm)s personality, imo, shifted drastically in this book; she turned into a huge know-it-all! I think itaEUR(tm)s meant to come across as newfound confidence in herself, her powers, and her status as High Lady (whatever that means), but I frequently thought of it as arrogance. The issue is that ACOWAR reads like itaEUR(tm)s constantly highlighting how clever/pretty/strong/whatever she is, even though she's all, "No, come on, y'all, I'm just doing what I can to help because IaEUR(tm)m so selfless, teeheehee." 
 Mmmk. Like, when exactly did she become this intuitive, scheming mastermind who suddenly has the correct answers to every plot device that SJM threw at us in this book? SheaEUR(tm)s the embodiment of a Super Special Snowflake. 
 Now, moving on to Rhysand. 
 HeaEUR(tm)s a bland, flavorless husk of a man, and therefore he is boring to me. I think one of the most irritating things about him is his constant boner for Feyre. He supports her in every conceivable way, but he's almost TOO supportive?? He never questions or challenges her on anything
