Feyre survived Amarantha’s clutches to return to the Spring Court—but at a steep cost. Though she now has the powers of the High Fae, her heart remains human, and it can’t forget the terrible deeds she performed to save Tamlin’s people.
Nor has Feyre forgotten her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court. As Feyre navigates its dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a greater evil looms—and she might be 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 cleaved in two.
With more than a million copies sold of her beloved Throne of Glass series, Sarah J. Maas’s masterful storytelling brings this second book in her seductive and action-packed series to new heights.

If you follow my reviews for a while now then there is a chance you read my review of A court of thorns and roses which clearly projects my dislike towards it, especially regarding Feyre character. It was partially the reason why I didn’t read the second book for so long. The other reason was the whole love-triangle concept other reviews suggested. Anyway when I’m in a reading slump I usually go on a fan art hunt to choose my next read and let’s be honest ACOMAF has some phenomenal fan art to choose from and this December I finally gave in and read it.
This book exceeded my every expectations and give me such a reading hype that I’m still reeling from it. ACOMAF is a stunning, vivid, magical and exceptional read the only drawback to it that you can’t read it without reading the first book. They kinda strongly connected. I loved every minute of this book and it quickly became my favorite from the author and since then reading the third book, I can safely say it’s the best in the series.
The plot has a beautiful and steady arc to it, and I especially liked how the author twisted the whole story up in a way to let the characters and the whole book take a completely different direction than they had in the first book without if feeling strange or abrupt. The character development and the little improvements regarding the world and the atmosphere are just incredible.
The storyline has it ups and downs, slower and more dynamic parts but all of so deliberately plotted and emotionally supported that all if it just works so well together. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 star was because there was a couple of really slow, almost dragged out and overly detailed parts in the book that not only bored me but also felt out of place and I think the story could have done without them and it could have helped with the length of the book as well. Also I think the author either has to work on her sex scenes or leaving them out all together because most of the time they are flat, out of place and sometimes even cringe worthy. They are just not working.
Feyre– She was the one who went through the most noticeable changes. So much so that I loved her in this book. She broke out of her cage. She became a strong, fierce woman who started to stand up for herself. My favorite scenes in the book consisted of her fighting using her new found powers, those fight scenes are awesome, detailed and really exciting. I’m not too sure about her relationship with Rhysand, I like him and all, he is an interesting character he is just missing the edge and also I just don’t feel the fire between them.
Lucien– He was my fave character in ACOTAR but in this book he was the most disappointing. From the sneaky, cunning and flirty warrior he became the shadow of himself. Somebody who blindly followed the orders of Tamlin even when he knew they are wrong.
Tamlin– He pissed me off but in the beginning not because of his overbearing, protective behavior but because he let himself be led by the nose. He believed and followed everything that stupid, cunning and annoying Ianthe told him.
Azriel/Amren/Cassian/Morrigan– I absolutely loved the inner circle and the camaraderie they had between them . My personal favorite was Azriel but all of them had a unique personality that created a perfect blend of a family. I enjoyed their interactions, it was funny and warm.
I also liked that we got an insight into the other courts too and see more of the other fae, too. They all put something new to the story.
The sisters– They still annoy me with their attitude towards Feyre and I don’t think this is going to change.
This was a phenomenal experience and I was overblown by the ending. I read the third book immediately after finishing this one and I read the two books in 3 days. I think that’s big especially considering the length of them.
