why was it considered heroic when rhys defended his home yet he had been vicious and slaughtered anyone as long as they weren't part of his court, but it was considered evil when tamlin did it? It was very hard for me to rate this series – it's worth mentioning this review is only for the first 4 books in the series; I did not and I will not read ACOSF Throne of Glass follows assassin Celaena Sardothien and includes the following books: The Assassin’s Blade, Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight, Heir of Fire, Queen of Shadows, Empire of Storms, Tower of Dawn, and Kingdom of Ash. There are also box sets, a game (Embers of Memory), and a coloring book, as well as a collector’s edition of Throne of Glass. This series is now complete, but will be re-released with new covers in 2023.

I will also mention that Rhys said that Az has had many lovers in his life. His shadows singing is probably due to attraction not because there’s a potential mating bond. No, you cannot compare trauma HOWEVER it seems that her few months with Tamlin and 3 months under the mountain transform her in some kind of saint, although you have the likes of Mor, Rysand, Azriel, Cassian, etc who have suffered for centuries!The author repeats the same ideas so many times that instead of emphasizing the message she wants to deliver, she diminishes it and, as a reader, annoys the h… out of you. We are constantly reminded how much Feyre suffered, how she overcome her fears, how amazing she is. ACOSF - No surprise this was my favorite story in the series because it is Nesta's story. I enjoyed Feyre and Rhys, don't get me wrong, but I was needing more from Nesta, so getting her in this was everything. It's not secret that this past year and a half I have been really struggling with a dark depression and trying to heal myself from it, so this book really touched me. I was weepy throughout because I just felt everything she was going through internally on a personal level. I am also glad that she finally got her chance to not only save her family, which she has regretted since letting Feyre go out hunting, to saving herself. I was so disappointed when this ended and has given me the biggest reading hangover. But I am honestly so satisfied with her story I believe I gave this story 5 stars. I also need to see if that anything will come from More and Emerie...like you can't just mention that and then drop it, honestly I need more.

She keeps acting like a 'bad a..', she keeps repeating to herself , over and over again, how amazing she is, that she is a survivor, that nobody is her master, and so on… although, she could not figure out such a simple riddle (I knew the answer before finishing the second line), although she only survived Amarantha's tasks with the help of Lucien and Rhys, both MEN/MALE; although she got 'her powers' from 7 lords, MALES; although she became High Lady of the Night Court because of Rhys, a MALE; although she survived returning from the Spring Court due to Lucien, Cassian and Azriel, MALES... I am the author of three fantasy series: Throne of Glass, A Court of Thorns and Roses, and Crescent City, as well as a stand-alone book called Catwoman: Soulstealer. I loved how Feyre started to “accept” (and adore) fairies and how she became one of them. She left her old thoughts and life behind. I loved her. I loved all of them. Not to mention that you have all these High Lords that lived for hundreds of years, fought wars, are well versed in strategy and court intrigues, but need a 19-20 year old girl to save them. I loved the world-building, the action, and I loved many of the characters, especially Lucien, the Suriel, and the Inner Circle ( I would love a separate book about Amren) - I felt sorry for them for having to put up with the Archeron sisters.ACOMAF - This is probably my second favorite book of the entire series. Obviously moved away from the Beauty and the Beast similarities. I appreciate everything Rhys did for Feyre, and let her take her own time and let her make her own choices. I think he fits her personality much better than Tamlin ever would have. I just thought it was weird that Tamlin felt so strongly about her to sell out her family.
