*purrs low, deeply content* 
 A sequel that is an improvement of it's overrated predecessor. It was like Sarah J. Maas was listening in, when we whinged about the lack of plot movement in the first one, so to rub balm into our sorry wounds, gave us action packed goodness, equal status amongst genders, Weavers and their creepy teeth, Water wraiths, King Hybern the "Big Bad" after Amarantha, and Tamlin....oh, Tamlin... 
 First up, good call in bringing paint-fuelled sexy times back. It went down a storm in the first novel, so it figures she enjoys it with Rhysand! Rhysand! Any person who is a fan of Rhysand, would be happy over this book. I am. Big time. I'm not a fan of demonising one love interest, to make the other look grrrreat, but even without demonizing Tamlin, my heart was repeatedly getting won over by Rhysand. Sure, his eyes kept "flashing with rage, then it was gone".....words that grew a little repetitive for my liking, but luckily it disappeared after the first ten times. 
 Extended cast great too. Mor, Cassian, Azriel. Sad to see Feyre's sisters dragged back into the plot this way, and bad luck for Lucien, being mated with Elain *smirks* 
 Lucien is Tamlin's right hand man btw. 
 Now...the person I've been wanting to spill the beans about from the beginning. TAMLIN. From the first book, and even this one, I don't doubt his love for Feyre for a second. But he mollycoddled her too much. Kept her locked up. I can understand why Feyre wanted to get away from him, and leave the Spring Court to go to the Night Court (Rhysand's.) In the end, I got her disgust. When she decided to go undercover, but secretly willed to gouge out his eyes instead....interesting. Very interesting. So much conflict for the next novel! King Hybern will make a reappearance for sure. This is one Big Bad that hasn't been beaten to submission. He basically wants to break down the wall between Fae and Human world, and like, kill a lot of people. 
 That's worse than Amanrantha, who keeps sex slaves and shit. 
 (Okay, that's fucking messed up too, but for mass scale King Hybern wins just about. Not that he's mobilised his army yet.) 
 What a pleasant change and direction this book took! More the same, please! ;)
