 initial review, 5/10/16 
 Where do I start? 
 I HATE TAMLIN. 
 I HATE HIM SO MUCH. He literally threw away the lives of everyone in Prythian just to get Feyre back?? Like hun, I know you love her, but DONT DO THAT. I can't believe I liked Tamlin for a SECOND in ACOTAR. I finally see how he was willing to let her do all the work Under the Mountain. And. just. UGH. HE CAN FIGHT ME. 
 feyrhys. 
 feYRHYS. 
 FEYRHYS. 
 I LOVE FEYRHYS SO MUCH. Their banter and the communication between them and the disappearing notes and THEYRE MATES!!!!!! (I may or may not have cried a little at that.) They are SO passionate about each other (enter smirking emoji here) and they would literally rip apart the world for each other and just. Everything about them is goals, goals, goals. I just. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. 
 I definitely saw one of Feyre's sisters being mate-bonded with a Fae (I also suspect Cassian and Nesta). It's cute anyways. 
 Okay, Mor(rigan) and Amren. These two ladies are absolutely kick-butt and I love them so, so, SO much. They're both so unique and are fabulous in their own ways and so sassy and and and I JUST LOVEEE THEM. 
 Azriel and Cassian!!!!! They're SOOOOO cool and I love AzrielxMor (Moriel?) and I think CassianxNesta (Cassianesta? Casta?) would be fabulous. Romance aside, they're both such astounding characters. 
 Okay, Ianthe. I HATE HER SO MUCH. I was growing suspicious when she was like "how's life? tell me, how's your family?" but when Rhys revealed what she tried to get him to do, I was absolutely furious. 
 The King of Hybern is such an interesting character and putting aside the fact that I hate him with all of me, I'm excited to see what happens in book 3. (Who am I kidding. I'm not excited to see him. I'd be fine if the next book was just Feyre and Rhys living out their lives.) 
 As always, Sarah's writing is PERFECTION and I can't get enough of it. I'm sOOOO freaking excited for book 3 (NOT THAT IT'S THE END THO) and the situation at hand could go in a million different directions and just AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 
 Also, when I thought their mating bond snapped, it was so hard to keep myself from not screaming. 
 edit, 4/13/17: 
 a) i'm going to reread this before May 2nd to "prepare" (we all know that no one is prepared) for ACOWAR and i am INSANELY excited. 
 b) i made a design of my favorite quote from this lovely novel ("Don't let the hard days win.") and I would highly appreciate it if you checked it out on Redbubble! click here to be taken there :D 
 review after re-read, 5/8/17 
 still as good as last time. not as surprising bc i already knew all the twists n stuff, but still good. still 10/10 would recommend. still would like Rhys to beat me up.
