Actual rating: 4.5 
 First line: "The buzzing flies and screaming survivors had long since replaced the beating war-drum." 
 I think I've finally settled on a rating of some sort. It's taken me a while because while I really loved this conclusion, there were definitely a huge amount of questions that were still unanswered. 
 Some thoughts: 
 (view spoiler)[- The Inner Circle is serious squad goals 
 - Cassian is bae af 
 - Nesta managed to redeem herself, surprisingly, because I hated the shit out of her in the first two books 
 - The next series of books need to follow Cassian and Nesta because holy sexual tension. Gimme. 
 - Seriously, Cassian is my favourite ughhhhhh 
 - Rhys is still too good for us all 
 - He and Feyre are beautiful together 
 - I never want to see the phrases "vulgar gesture", "mate", "male", and em dashes for a long time. Sososo overused 
 - Other than the above phrases, I was surprised I didn't mind Sarah J. Maas's writing more, considering everyone and their mum was complaining about it 
 - Also, maybe I just read too much historical romance but the sex scenes were fine with me. Bring on the smut 
 - LOVED seeing all the other courts and their High Lords. That meeting had me wide-eyed the whole time and yelling "OH SHIT" the whole time 
 - I never knew I could be sympathetic for creatures like the Suriel, the Bone Carver, and the Weaver 
 - Feyre manipulating the ceremony with Ianthe so that the light was shining on her was PERFECT. Master scheming and I was living for it 
 - I kind of don't give a crap about Elain. She's so boring 
 - I love political fantasies and this did it so well for me (hide spoiler)] 
 I think that's all I have to say right now. I dunno, I have a lot of feelings but I'm currently shrouded in an ACOWAR haze right now. I'm excited to see what's next.
