I'm torn to give either 3 stars or 3.5 stars out of 5. I think 3. 
 The thing is, I did enjoy this book a lot, but at the same time, there were some things that were pretty anti-climatic. And many things were not explained. Like many reviews, this book is really about telling, there's not much elaboration and showing. 
 It's like, "BAM, here comes help. (But who are they, where did they come from? Idk) and also, BAM, he died, BAM, I have powers, BAM, all is resolved. BAM. " 
 However, there are many things I did enjoy in this book. GUESS WHAT'S MY NEW OTP? IT STARTS WITH NESSIAN AND ENDS WITH NESSIAN AND RHYMES WITH NESSIAN HAHA. 
 Funny how I wasn't planning on reading this because of how much I abhorred Throne of Glass (esp the latest installment) but this is not bad. 
 Enjoyment level: 4/5 
 Story telling: 3.5/5 
 World-building: 3/5 
 Characters: 3.5/5 
 Writing: 3/5 
 Pros: 
 -	Engrossing and a page-turner. 
 -	Sometimes Sarah's writing is compelling 
 -	Ships. The romances here makes you ship them harder. 
 -	More diversity in here. I thought it was good, but many people said it was forced in. I mean, I can see that too. 
 Cons: 
 -	Too 'telling' and less 'showing' 
 -	I think because too many things happened here, so many things were not fleshed out 
 -	Which leads to things being anti-climatic 
 - Many things are not developed 
 -	And some plot twist being cliche 
 -	The smut, hell no. And idk, I feel like Feysand's romance is meh in here, like boring. 
 -	You know how people worship Aelin in Throne of Glass? I feel like people worship Rhysand a bit too much in here. Don't get me wrong, I love Rhys, but he's a little too perfect and submissive. 
 -	Also, I feel Feyre's a bit too overpowered? 
 -	Characters were inconsistent. 
 - Tamlin's being the target for hate. (Like what Sarah did to Chaol.) 
 -	Sometimes Feyre's POV is a bit boring. I think once Feysand's ship has sailed, it becomes really meh. 
 Would I recommend this series? Honestly, yes. This is one of those good trashy (in a good way) YA, that is not perfect, but you want more. THE NEXT SPINOFF BETTER BE NESTA AND CASSIAN OR ELSE I'LL START A RIOT. (Also, wanna know about Lucien and Azriel) 
 SPOILERS BELOW. 
 (view spoiler)[ 
 WHERE DO I START? HMMMM. Okay, I give a gist of everything, main things I wanna say in bullet point: 
 -	Feyre's 'damage' in the Spring Court was meh. And I really pity Tamlin. 
 -	I love Lucien's and Feyre's friendship. Their little adventure together. 
 -	The evil, over-hyped twin died too fast. Was hoping they played a big part in the war. 
 -	I loved Feyre breaking Ianthe's hands and brainwashing her. A badass moment for her. 
 -	CASSIAN AND AZRIEL SHOWING UP AND SAVING HER WAS EVERYTHING. 
 -	The smut, was not. 
 -	Idk, the Feysand romance in here kinda fizzled out for me. Rhysand is too submissive and perfect and Feyre was worshipping him too much. 
 -	IDK WHO TO SHIP, ELAIN WITH LUCIEN OR WITH AZRIEL. I JUST WANT THEM ALL TO BE HAPPY. 
 -	Also, Mor being Bi/Les was kinda out of nowhere. I mean it fits but still, I hate how she let Azriel love her for 500 years and not telling him there's no chance. 
 -	Also, her character was kinda off. She's so angsty and moody Idk what her important thing she did, besides the coming out. Very inconsistent. 
 -	Eris actually being a nice person when he had a reputation for being cruel was ???? 
 -	Jurian also being nice is also ????? 
 -	I mean I don't mind them, but ugh like they didn't live up to their bad reputation. 
 -	The Court meeting was so uncomfortable in a bad way I had to skim. 
 -	Also the sex I skimmed. 
 -	Also, Amren and Varian? Though it's cute, I think Amren being ace is better. 
 -	I still don't understand what Amren is. 
 -	Ugh ending similar to EOS. Like help came in a nick of time. Out of the blue, moreover. ESP THEIR DAD TEAMING UP WITH VASSA, LIKE WHAT. 
 -	Also, it was hinted something happened with their dad that made Nesta this way. Hmm.... 
 -	Rhys dying for a moment was so damn anti-climatic. Knew he would survive. Also, Amren should've stayed dead. I love her but come on man, this huge ass war and no one died except the Suriel, Bone Carver and Weaver? 
 -	OH, Feyre looking into the Mirror like it was nothing. What? 
 -	I also feel that she's too overpowered. Powers from different courts, able to fly in a short time, able to be one of the 'rare' ones and look into people's minds, oh and how make can control the cauldron. 
 -	I hate that she looked into Lucien's and Elain's convo. 
 -	Also, I didn't like Rhysand bringing Eris in the Night Court without telling Mor. That was one not so cool. 
 - Also, the part where Elain was kidnapped and Az and Feyre had to rescue her was unnecessary to me. 
 -	Helion being Lucien's dad was WOW. 
 I LOVE CASSIAN AND NESTA, MY NEW OTP. Ugh, slow burning romance, my kryptonite. If they're not mates, I'll cry. And what is up with Nesta? What is her power? So she has death? I loved the bit where Cassian and Feyre visit The Bone Carver and he was talking about Nesta to Cassian, how he hears her as he's the God of Death. It'll be cool if she can travel to the land of the dead, or raise the dead or just have kickass powers. I'm really sad about the ending where Cassian is ignoring her. So, when the Cauldron broke, she also broke? And on top of that, she's still grieving her dad. Sigh. 
 Next book, we gotta find out man. Also, they being mates in the next book is a plus. 
 Also, I think I'm leaning towards Elriel more than Elucien. I mean there must be a reason why 'the mating bond can be rejected' was mentioned right? Also, I feel there's more hints of Elriel more than Elucien. 
 Anyway, Lucien deserves his own book too. The thing about Helion being his father and adventures with Vassa and Confronting Tamlin.
