Sarah J. Maas

Feyre has undergone more trials than one human woman can carry in her heart. Though she's now been granted the powers and lifespan of the High Fae, she is haunted by her time Under the Mountain and the terrible deeds she performed to save the lives of Tamlin and his people.

As her marriage to Tamlin approaches, Feyre's hollowness and nightmares consume her. She finds herself split into two different one who upholds her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court, and one who lives out her life in the Spring Court with Tamlin. While Feyre navigates a dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a greater evil looms. She might just be the key to stopping it, but only if she can harness her harrowing gifts, heal her fractured soul, and decide how she wishes to shape her future-and the future of a world in turmoil.

And so Tamlin unwittingly led the High Lady of the Night Court into the heart of his territory.

within us, and said, "If they had removed her other glove, they would have seen a second tattoo on her right arm. The twin to the other. Inked last night, when we crept out, found a priestess, and I swore her in as High Lady."

"She's your mate, Amren bit at me.Not your spy. Go get her.“ 

"She is my mate. And my spy," I said too quietly. "And she is the High Lady of the Night Court."

I winnowed beyond his reach. The king let out a low laugh as Tamlin stumbled. 

And went sprawling as Rhysand's fist connected with his face.

Knelt on those stars and mountains inked on his knees. He would bow for no one and nothing—But his mate. His equal.

"I want you to know," I whispered, "that I am broken and healing, but every piece of my heart belongs to you. And I am honored—

“I . . " He glanced down, then up at me again. "I knew ...I knew I was in love with you that moment I picked up the knife to kill Amarantha.”

“The High Lord of the Night Court is your mate."

“I was looking for you, too,” Rhys murmured. 

He watched me take a long drink from mine. “Im thinking." he said, following the flick of my tongue over my bottom lip, “that I look at you and feel like I'm dying. Like I can't breathe. I'm thinking that I want you so badly I can't concentrate half the time I'm around you, and this room is too small for me to properly bed you. Especially with the wings."

“Then I would have torn apart the world to get you back."

He said softly, "I love it when you look at me like that."

The purr in his voice heated my blood. "Like what?"

“Like my power isn't something to run from. Like you see me."

“You look good with wings," he said, and kissed my brow. 

I did not mind stepping out of the shadows, did not mind even 

 in the shadows to begin with, so long as he was with me. My friend through so many dangers—who had fought for me when no one else would, even myself.

So I smiled at him, broad and without restraint.

 anyone who harms you," Rhys snarled. "I will 

 them, and take a damn long time doing it." He panted. "Go ahead. Hate me—- despise me for it."

You are good, Rhys. You are kind. This mask does not scare me. I see you beneath it.

He led me the few steps onto the dais to the throne. He sat, smiling faintly at his monstrous court. He owned every inch of the throne. These people.

And with a tug on my waist, he perched me on his lap. 

The crown that was the sibling to my gold diadem. 

"To the people who look at the stars and wish, Rhys."

 He picked up his glass, his gaze so piercing that I wondered why I had bothered blushing at all for Tarquin. 

Rhys clinked his glass against mine. "To the stars who listen—and the dreams that are answered."

“What got under my skin," Rhys said, his breathing a bit uneven, "is that you 

The rest of the world faded to mist as the words sank in. "You are jealous."

It’d just been a relief to think that for a moment, he might have been as lonely as me.

And maybe I was exhausted and broken, but I breathed, "I killed them. "

I hadn't said the words aloud since it had happened. Cassan's lips tightened. "I know." Not condemnation, not praise. But grim understanding. 

My hands slackened as another shuddering sob worked its way through me. “It should have been me."

Great mix of romance and action. Story telling and plot were great and easy to follow.

First 5🌟 of the year! I wasn’t expecting to like this book this much because I didn’t like ACOTAR too much but pushed through bc I heard the first book was the weakest of the series. And I am so happy that I did. This book has so much more of a page turner! So much action and story building. I just know that no movie/tv show will be able to capture the beauty of Velaris. It was very beautifully described.

SPOILER: I prefer Feyre and Rhysand relationship over hers with Tamlin !!

A Court of Mist and Fury

this one took me a really really long time to get into (almost a whole year to finish) but i really truly enjoyed it once it started getting to the good stuff. it’s worth all the boring parts if you can get past them. i recommend listening to an audiobook to get past the parts you find “boring”, that’s what helped me. to actually hear it instead of reading and trailing off every few seconds. 

OMG I'M OBSESSED WITH THIS BOOK! It was a little hard to get into near the beginning, but after the wedding scene, I was hooked. I love every single one of these characters (except Tamlin, fuck him) and I loved watching Feyre come alive again. Rhys is one of the best book boyfriends ever and I love watching their love grow. The ending had me absolutely shook, the way I was freaking out stressing while finishing this was crazy. I literally cannot wait to read the next book, but I honestly never want this series to end.

nothing compares to throne of glass. but i ate this up. 

Fantastic book, my favorite of the series.

What a beautiful love story - between two people but also self love and healing. Makes it hard to come back into the real world

Uff. More than hooked.

"to the people who look at the stars and wish, rhys."

"to the stars who listen — and the dreams that are answered."

let me preface this by saying that i didn't like the first book. BUT ACOMAF. OH MY GOD. I LOVED THIS SO SOOO MUCH. i don’t even know where to start AAAAAAAAAA

i loved it so much to the point that i couldn’t even function like a normal human being while reading it 😭 it’s like i just refuse to go back to my real life & i just want to stay in their world. and when i tell you i couldn’t function, i really couldn’t. i barely touched my thesis for a whole week bc i just wanted to read & while im on my internship i couldn’t focus & i kept hoping that they won’t give us anything to do so i could read secretly ijbol AHDJFJHFGH so i knew i had to finish it fast before it makes even more damage to my life. it’s just that good & all-consuming what the fawk T___T

FEYSAND 😭 their love was so so beautiful that i even want to scream & cry just by thinking abt their story. two broken souls who have suffered so much bc of the cruelty of the world — healing each other & healing together. i have consumed so many pieces of media that involved this story line, but this was one of the few that consumed & devoured me. feyre & rhysand — they were a perfect match. they are the definition of the invisible string theory. the fact that rhys could see feyre in his dreams, and he was the one who sent the image of the night sky that feyre painted in her drawer ?!! it made me want to bawl during the cave scene when feyre told rhys abt her drawer and when rhys realized that she received the image of joy that he sent 🥹 i love how their story progressed so naturally, so beautifully. the events leading to chapters 54-55 were CHEFS KISS. from the throne room, starfall, feysand in the illyrian steppes, one bed trope at the inn, rhysand’s ambush, feyre’s encounter with the suriel... AMAZING. those chapters made me stay up until my eyes were giving up on me & my father saw me still wide awake at 5 freaking am 😭 

this story is about love. other than the love portrayed between feysand, i also like how majority of the book focused on feyre’s healing and self-love. it was a delight seeing her learn how to fight for herself, grow bigger than the pain she experienced, and freely make a choice for her self-discovery & growth. i think this played a crucial role in allowing herself to feel that real & genuine love rhysand & the inner circle has for her. i love found family so so much 😭🤍 from feyre feeling hesitant to meet them at the beginning of the book to her sacrificing and protecting them at the end 🥹 i love how she finally found her people. people she’s willing to sacrifice for & protect — people who would do the same thing for her. people who appreciates her love & embraces her for who she is.

this story is for the dreamers, for those who dream of love and light and peace. for those who have been swallowed by the darkness for too long, but still crave & fight for the genuine desires of their hearts. for those who know how hard it is to fight for those dreams, but powers through despite it all. for the people who look at the stars and wish 🤍🌠 

i feel like i left my heart in velaris, and there’s this hollow feeling inside my chest that tells me that it’s always going to be there. it’s been days since i finished it but i still think about it all the time. how this book made me feel. and i think it’s going to take a long time before i find another story that would make me feel the same way this book did. if there ever will be, actually. ily feyre & rhysand & the inner circle, u will always have my heart. i hope there will always be stars who will listen to your dreams & answer them. and i hope that there will be stars who will listen & answer to mine as well.

The STORYLINE was prefect. The romantic tension was beautiful. So much happen, couldn’t put this book down.

Isabell McMann

I enjoyed this book considerably more than the first in the series and can’t wait to get my hands on the next one. 

I docked a star because the transition from loving Tamlin to hating him gave me whiplash! I found myself even double checking I hadn’t missed something…While I’ve now fully fallen for Rhys, I hope that the third book asks the reader to work harder to determine if Tamlin is good or bad, not lazily tell us one way or the other.

To the people who look at the stars and wish.

To the stars who listen—and the dreams that are answered.

I don’t even know where to begin. I fell in love with Rhysand. There were so many parts that I loved in this book—so much happened!

I loved getting to see Feyre use her new powers—especially seeing her winnowing to Rhys when he was captured. And the water-wolves, and the fire and ice.

 the ending, because it’s a big cliffhanger, and it’s not the ending you want—but I know it leads right into the next one, so I’m excited to see where it goes.

And her sisters are now immortal?

This book was amazing. I hated the ending, because it’s a big cliffhanger, and it’s not the ending you want—but I know it leads right into the next one, so I’m excited to see where it goes.

Finally finished this one after a month—got stuck midway as it got boring. Debated if I should just give up or soldier on, good thing I tried harder as the ending made up for it. That cliffhanger!!

I couldn’t stop listening to this, it had me completely hooked. The writing and dialogue are crisper and sharper than the first book, the plot more engaging, the characters more fully developed, the themes more complex, and the romance and sex smoulder and spark without ever becoming cringe-inducing.
