The stunning sequel to Sarah J. Maas' New York Times bestselling A Court of Thorns and Roses.
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.

(Grade: A–) I sincerely enjoyed this book, especially the character development, and found myself going back to reread parts of it a 2nd and even 3rd time.
However the narration relied too much on dialogue and explaining past events, which got repetitive quickly. In addition, the foreshadowing made certain plot reveals too obvious, and yet the book was so long that it took too long to reach the finale.
That being said, I love the new characters & have already been wondering what happens in the next book.

(Grade: D) After 500 pages of incessant flirtation and clumsy exposition, no plot twist, battle scene, or shocking revelation could have salvaged the book. Maas is willing to expand the setting in this sequel and show the reader new realms, although it comes at a cost: characters from the first novel are either forgotten, slandered, or subjected to a sad combination of both. The protagonist does show signs of growth (yay, she can read!), but she remains quite humorless and self-pitying through it all.

(Grade: A) An insanely solid 4 .5 stars. This was me for most of the book. And then the ending sweet jesus hold me closer. I can't handle that cliff hanger and I'm kinda mad at myself for reading book 2 before book 3 came out or was close to release. The one thing I didn't love like in every other Maas book is the bedroom scenes. This one was less clumsy than previous books and series for her have been with me, but still just felt stiff and stilted. I would have prefered a closed door method of telling
