Blurb
Feyre has returned to the Spring Court, determined to gather information on Tamlin's manoeuvrings and the invading king threatening to bring her land to its knees. But to do so she must play a deadly game of deceit - and one slip may spell doom not only for Feyre, but for her world as well.

As war bears down upon them all, Feyre must decide who to trust amongst the dazzling and lethal High Lords and hunt for allies in unexpected places. And her heart will face the ultimate test as she and her mate are forced to question whether they can truly trust each other.

My Review

The third book of the series, and the last one from Feyre's point of view, deserves a well-earned pedestal as an epic fantasy closure. The war is upon them, and the King of Hybern is bringing everything he has. Let’s be real, he alone is powerful, and now he’s got an army of nightmares surrounding him. The Night Court is doing everything they can to win this war since preventing it is out of the question. They’re pulling out everything they can, including gathering everyone willing to fight, calling in bargains, old friendships, and truces. This book has it all: drama, war, scheming, power-play, character development, breaking points, unexpected twists, and more. The whole thing had me in a thrall of epic proportions.

And it wasn't just about the war and the Cauldron itself. All the things that happened during and after were heart-breaking and tear-filled. Yet, it’s not the absolute ending—we still have more books coming and universes intertwining. It’s an epic adventure I can't get enough of.

By the end, I still wanted more of Lucien and Vassa. There are so many questions left unanswered and so many things to look forward to. (Mor turns dark? Yes, please!) The Bat-Boys are just the beginning, and the Archeron sisters hold strong hands on the future. Not to mention the inevitable redemption for Tamlin (hopefully with Elain—yes, you heard me, I said what I said).

I’m sad to let go of Rhys and Feyre, although I’m sure they’ll appear in future books. But I’m also glad that someone else will take the reins now. This book truly wrapped up Feyre's story in a grand, emotional, and satisfying way, while also setting the stage for even more adventures in the ACOTAR universe. For now, Nessian, here I come!

A Court of Silver Flames / ACOTAR #5

My Review  Oh, where to start with ACOFAS? I have to say, this book was the weakest for me in the ACOTAR universe. While I still enjoyed most of it, some parts were just too... MEH. I absolutely loved the snowball fight, the Solstice decorating, and picking on Amren, but I could have done without Feyre's paintings, gossiping and shopping with Mor or all together Mor's POV (I’m still convinced she’ll go dark or do something dodgy in the future). Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed almost every second of this, and it was really nice to spend some time with all those characters again. BUT (yes, it’s a big but) there were a lot of things that didn’t sit well with me. Let’s start with the MC’s. I love Feyre and Rhys, I really do, but I think from ACOWAR onward, their character development kind of went sideways. Feyre’s and Rhys’s holier-than-thou attitude is beginning to get on my nerves. Don't get me wrong, I still think Rhys is a demigod and love his sass and cheeky side, but ...

Powerless / Powerless Trilogy #1

My Review "Powerless" is an absolute gem that I stumbled upon in a bookstore and couldn't resist picking up. Little did I know that it would become my latest obsession, keeping me glued to its pages until the wee hours of the morning. I was trapped in a whirlwind of banter-filled romantasy and flew through the pages. Both of the main characters had me in a chokehold. Their sass, sarcasm, and sizzling chemistry are top-notch; their slow pace deserves a trophy of its own. Yes, this book was filled with romantasy tropes to the brim, but it didn’t ruin my reading experience as the author cleverly wove them into the story without it feeling like she was shoving them down your throat. Now, the story is set in a world divided between the powerful Elites and the Ordinaries. The Elites, who have special abilities ranging from minor skills to more supreme powers, and of course, the ones born without powers, the Ordinaries. In this kingdom, Ordinaries are inferior to Elites, and on ...

The Ballad of Never After / OUABH #2

Image
My Review  From the moment Jacks betrays Evangeline, she found herself questioning if she could ever trust him again. This sense of betrayal lingers as Evangeline discovers her own magic, hoping to reclaim the happily ever after that Jacks snatched away. But just as things seem to be looking up, a new, terrifying curse emerges, and Evangeline is forced into an uneasy partnership with the Prince of Hearts once more. This time, the stakes are higher, the rules have changed, and Jacks might be the only ally she has in a world full of new threats. The narrative is gripping from the get-go, with a murderous spell replacing the usual love spells, thrusting Evangeline and Jacks into a world of peril where old friends become foes and magic manipulates minds and hearts. Evangeline, who once trusted her heart above all else, now faces uncertainty at every turn. I'll be honest: at the start, I was worried. I feared the series was losing its magic, falling into the dreaded trap of lost potenti...
