** spoiler alert ** 
 Oh my god this book was amazing. I was one of those people that at the end of ACOTAR I very much did not want Rhys to have bonded with Feyre, because I was 100% on the Tamlin ship. I am now 100% of the opinion that Tamlin needs to get on a damn ship and sail the fuck out of here. 
 Sarah J Maas has shown us several times that she knows how to write about trauma, and people who are "broken", and every time I am just in awe at how wonderfully she does it, and how she uses it for such character growth. But also!! In ACOMAF, I think the most striking and important thing was how complex and completely she discussed abusive relationships, and yes, how love can be a poison. Also, how and what kind of environment is needed to overcome trauma, and the kind of friendships and relationships needed to be okay. I also loved Feyre's magic!!!!! I love that we got to see all the magics of the High Lords, I'm also a sucker for training sequences so I loved being with her learning to use it and being super badass in a fight. 
 One thing I loved/hated was the end, because I knew we were going to have to see the King of Hybern, because Sarah J Maas never just hypes up an evil character and then not give us a sneak peak, and so I knew that something was going to go wrong. The end was such a sleight of hand, but I understood why she did it and so I'm not too angry. I'm thrilled to see how the fox in the chicken coop plays out, though not too much for what Tamlin may make Feyre endure to keep her secret. 
 And finally. Rhysand? Now one of my favorite male book characters. Hands down. Possibly even edging Jem Carstairs out from the top. He is kind, he's a dreamer, he wants to make a difference. He is a total feminist who respects, appreciates, loves, and acknowledges Feyre's strength and power. His vision for his world gave me goosebumps, and his passion and huge heart shows how powerful love and compassion really is. The sacrifices he has made? The darkness of his past? Heartbreaking. And yet he's come back so passionate and good, and broken yes, but with a mission and with a drive and good god he's just amazing. I want to be friends with him, and I want to change the world with him, because he's gonna get. Shit. Done. 
 I loved this book, and am so so excited for the third of the series.
