Going to the book launch party for this in Seattle! 
 *Update* 
 Finally, a book by the fabulous Sarah J. Maas containing a heroine I love and root for! It's no secret that I have a love/hate thing going for Celeana in her other series and I was iffy with Feyre in ACOTAR, but I loved her here. She had amazing character development, and the way you can see her slowly changing over time shows how far Mass' writing has come since Throne of Glass. I believe one of my main complaints about that books was that it was bad at foreshadowing, but ACOMAF is the furthest thing from it. I had the pleasure of attending the release party for this book and getting the autograph of the lovely Maas; she was so bubbly and happy. I now have three books signed by her and two personalized. Hopefully she stops by my area again when ACOWAR comes out. 
 Also a romance I'm fully behind! 
 (view spoiler)[Honestly I think the only reason I tried to make myself like Tamlin and Feyre as a couple so much was simply because of the love I have for Beauty and the Beast. I put them in those roles in my mind, and therefore they had to be together. There should be no room for love triangles. And maybe they did have some good moments, but I can see how my love for the original tale might have clouded my judgement. And Rhysand. Can we just talk about how absolutely amazing and perfect he is? I shipped him and Feyre from the beginning of the book. The Tamlin spell was broken. And I cannot even begin to say how happy I am that my ship indeed sailed. (hide spoiler)] 
 Rhysand is just the best balance of everything. He's a bad boy-ish, tortured character without crossing over into being overly dramatic. He has a great sense of humor but also takes control and is protective. And apparently gorgeous with great black angelic wings. Love, love, love him. So much more so than Tamlin. (view spoiler)[Despite my rapidly disintegrating opinion of Tamlin, I can't believe he behaved the way that he did towards the end of the book. I guess I understand he thought that Rhysand might be mentally manipulating Feyre, but she told him with both words and a letter than she didn't want him anymore. Even Lucien could see it. He was clearly delusional, and he deserves everything that's probably coming to him in future books. (hide spoiler)] 
 ACOMAF is over six hundred pages long, but it doesn't feel like that at all. It has excellent pacing, there's always something interesting going on and the world continues to be beautifully developed with a map to go with it. I'm interested in knowing more about the King of Hybern and his cronies. And the new characters! There was no shortage of those, and I loved how each of them was given their own backstory so by the time the book ended I felt very attached to them all. 
 (view spoiler)[Also one of the best things about this romance is the fact that it's not a love triangle at all. Feyre simply became a different sort of person after she was Made, and she needed something else, she couldn't stand Tamlin's overly protective nature anymore. I love how realistic that is. People change. People grow. (hide spoiler)] 
 Overall I have to say I am loving this series much more than Throne of Glass at this point (though I've only read the first two novels plus the novellas), and I can't wait for A Court of Wings and Ruin.
