"I would have waited five hundred more years for you. A thousand years. And if this was all the time we were allowed to have... the wait was worth it." 
 MASSIVE SPOILERS AHEAD 
 I have so much to say that my heart is beating like crazy right now - it has been like this ever since I was in the final part of the book, it never calmed down and I don't think it will. How does SJ Maas do it? How does she make you so emotional that you go wild at 2 in the morning while reading? I promised myself that I was going to take my sweet time with ACOWAR ever since it was released. And that promise was going well until the middle portion; the minute I started reading about actual battle plans, betrayals happening left and right... I couldn't stop even if I forced myself. I downed the rest of the 300+ pages in one night. And it killed me. L I T E R A L L Y. 
 When ACOMAF ended, I was expecting for ACOWAR to have multiple POV's from both Feyre and Rhysand. Turns out Rhysand's POV was only at the beginning and the end. But nevertheless, the book wasn't a disappointment. 
 I'm going to start this review by talking about Tamlin. I loved him in ACOTAR. Felt betrayed by him in ACOMAF but hands down amazed me in ACOWAR. In my opinion, Tamlin was one of the best characters SJ Maas created. Aside from the common hatred I had for him for doing what he did; I understood why it had to happen. I'm not going to defend him. But was he someone who deserved forgiveness? Maybe. Not anytime soon, though. His story arc was so unpredictable and it became such a huge plot twist. In fact, it added so much spice to the plot that without him, ACOWAR would have been bland. At the first part, it was obvious how his anger issues were destroying him from within - that it not only obviously affected Feyre and Lucien but himself as a whole. Tamlin loves Feyre. Even Rhys admitted it. But the problem was he didn't know how. He was so caught up with his pride that it blinded him from doing what was right. Mistakes after mistakes piled up and I genuinely felt bad for him. In my eyes, Tamlin is a symbol of a "harsh reality" when it comes to human relationships. Sometimes, people think so highly of themselves that they tend to mix protecting the ones they love from protecting their own ego. And unfortunately, it happens. Tamlin is just like any other guy out there who thinks that they can get any girl and if it doesn't happen, they turn their life around and move backwards. But I admired his sudden change of heart when he stepped in to help Feyre and Azriel escape when they stole back Elain. That scene alone was saying something and it suddenly set a different tone to the book which made it more intense. Its as if SJ Maas was telling us to not give up on Tamlin. Because no matter how much of a horrible person or fae someone can be, we should try to leave a window open for second chances. And judging from what happened at the end, it was possible for Tamlin to change for the better. However, he did lose everyone in his life. Feyre, his court and Lucien. I'm praying and hoping that in the next books, he recovers from it. It's never easy to realize the fact that you lost the people you loved and cared about because of your stupid mistake. Like Feyre said, I hope he finds his happiness. Because it would be completely unfair to label him as the evil High Lord. He had his reasons. 
 Nesta and Cassian's relationship was pretty much Rhys and Feyre part 1. The banters and teasing will eventually become something more, unless it would be like Mor and Azriel's case. (Still pretty shocked about Mor's case) But again, the ending proved it - when Cassian was severely injured at the final battle and said that he and Nesta will meet again in another life. It freaking broke me. Okay to be honest, I don't think I'll ever accept any deaths in the ACOTAR series because my heart wants all of them in a happily ever after situation. My heart was pounding every time I would read the words "Cassian"and "severely hurt" in one sentence because I had this gut feeling that he was going to die. Same goes for Azriel. These two; showed impeccable loyalty to Rhysand that it made me want to kill them and hug them for it at the same time. Speaking of Azriel, is it weird that I never shipped him and Mor? I understand that they're family and they act as if they secretly like each other but I don't know, I never really felt it. Mor was too much for Azriel. He was a spymaster. She was third in command. They needed someone that was the complete opposite of their roles. Am I trying to say I'm leaning towards Azriel and Elain? 50-50. Elain was hard to read in the book. Her mysteriousness made it confusing to know where her heart truly belonged. However, I did enjoy the connection she had with Azriel because she was the balance Azriel needed. If she wasn't Lucien's mate, then okay, maybe it would work. But then again, a mating bond is strong. So I wouldn't shut Lucien out just yet. I'm very interested as to how this would go because I also like how Lucien was willing to do whatever he can to prove how much of a good person he was to Elain. Ultimately, all of this would all depend on Elain. So, we'll see. 
 Now for Rhysand and Feyre. What can I say? They were just like a normal married couple who was in the middle of saving their lands. You all know how much of a perfect couple they are so I won't bother reviewing details about their relationship. Yes, ladies. I know. We all want a Rhysand. What I'm willing to talk about though was the last line of Chapter 76. Earlier I said that I was expecting Cassian or Azriel to die but no - who dies instead? Rhysand. Of course. My reaction was me getting out of bed and crying so damn hard and I was surprised myself that I was capable of crying at the time because so many things were going through my head. I was so close to giving the book a 1 star rating then and there. I did not have the will power to continue because I was devastated, I ended up having to skip through the next pages to find out if this was all a joke. I frankly did not care if I was spoiling myself with the rest of the ending. I just needed to know if he was alive. Thank the freaking cauldron, he came back. My sigh of relief was so deep and heavy that I laughed like an idiot by myself after. Because if he didn't, I would bitch out until the next book comes out. If there's one thing that I would want to see for my own eyes though, it would be the scene where all High Lords come together and bring Rhysand back. That scene was too beautiful for words and I really wish that if ever this goes on-screen, it would bring justice to how it was described. When all else was settled and Rhysand said to Feyre, "Now you know how I felt under the mountain." I was the one who felt like Feyre at that moment. And I agree with her that I never want to feel it ever again. SO, SJ Maas, can you like... not kill anyone else in the next books? I'm not going to lie when I'm scared as hell because until I'm given the words "The end" I will never be content with it. Even though we got a happy ending now, we can never be sure. And I'm anxious as hell. 
 PS 
 I really hope Feyre gets pregnant by the next book already. I would love to read about Rhysand and Feyre raising their own little family. I mean, even if it's just one book about domestic issues in the Night Court, I wouldn't mind at all. A full chapter of Rhysand changing diapers? I'm sold.
