Actual Rating: 3.5 Stars. 
 I'm so torn when it comes to ACOMAF. 
 I had such a hard time with this book and I can't give it more than 3.5 stars because of it. It took me nearly one month to finish this book!! That means something. 
 (view spoiler)[ 
 Let's see: 
 1. The plot: 
 I don't understand why people are loving the plot so much. It was dragged out to the max. The whole beginning and middle part were to long and I really forced myself to read it. I agree the ending and the last half of the book have been great but the other half was most of the time boring. 
 2. The "I don't want the first love interest, so I'm going to introduce a second one and make the first one and asshole!" 
 I was not the biggest fan of Tamlin and I loved Rhys already in the first book but I had a serious problem with the way SJM portrayed Tamlin in the second book. I loved the whole twist that Rhys knew that Feyre has been his mate for so long and it totally made sense to me but still, why does SJM always feels the need to portray the first love interest as an asshole afterward. It's the same thing she did with Chaol in the Throne of Glass Series and I'm still furious about it. Fine people change and it made absolute sense that Tamlin and Feyre couldn't be together anymore and I get that. But that doesn't mean that she need to completely change the other love interest character. Why make Tamlin such an abusive brick, just to make sure that everybody hates him and loves Rhys. Why couldn't she just decide that they aren't working anymore and talk this through like normal people would. 
 And I know that it brings more tension but that was something that annoyed the hell out of me. 
 Poor Lucien by the way!!! 
 3. The ending 
 I loved the ending. Honestly. I thought it was great and I'm excited to see how this series is wrapped up in the next book but what the hell happens to the pacing. The whole book was pretty slow and not really fast paced and the last 100 pages I had to focus on all the events that unfold. So many twists and turns that it was too much and too convenient to the whole story. Tamlin betraying Feyre. The Queens betraying Rhys. Nesta and Elain made into Faes. Lucien is mate of Elain. The King of Hybern destroying the bond. The bond is not really destroyed. Feyre is actually High Lady of the Night Court. Take a breath SJM.

 In conclusion I have very mixed feelings about this book but I still recommend reading it. I wouldn't say that it was better than the first one. I really enjoyed the first book. The ending was crazy and I loved the turns of events but still there is a lot of boring events in the first half like collecting things etc. 
 But when you do make it to the ending it really is a great book and I loved the sexual tension that SJM created. Very explicit and I don't think this book should be categorised as YA. This is not YA literature. 
 Anyway I can't wait for the third book! ;) I'm thrilled to see what happens to all the characters!
