![]() Cassidy Serhienko Okay, so we know that I am in love with Renee Ahdieh’s other book The Wrath and the Dawn and it’s sequel The Rose and the Dagger, so when I found the gem in the bookstore I immediately snatched it up because I knew it would be bomb af. Basically the whole time I was reading this book my only thoughts were: WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING, and when are they gonna freaking make out. Now, I know Mirako is disguised as a boy for most of this novel so I can sympathize that Okami is ten shades of confused, and therefore no romance really happens for most of the story. Speaking of being confused, I am. She definitely got me with TWATD but this story solidifies the fact that Ahdieh is the queen of confusing magic. But it’s like a good confused if that makes sense. I don’t know what’s happening, but I don’t feel uncomfortable about that, probably because Mariko sees all these crazy things happening and is like “okay, cool, it’s all G”. Speaking of Mariko - what a freaking baller. She’s so smart my head hurts and every time she bests one of the boys I just want to jump up and shout. Her verbal sparring with Okami had be grinning from ear to ear. I know I talked about how I was just waiting for the romance, which I was, but I can also appreciate the fact that this book didn’t really need it. I mean really, Mariko infiltrated the freaking Black Clan, she’s got bigger problems then this guy she hates but also kind of wants to kiss. I love Ahdieh’s heroines because they’re a little vicious and a lot smart. To paraphrase Khalid, they’re plagues of girls. Personally, I’d like to line up all of the royals and give them a swift kick to the teeth but I’m sure Mariko and Co. will figure something out that’s a little more lucrative what with that big, bulbous brain of hers. So pretty much the whole last third of the book I’m sitting here going, “What?”, “Wait, excuse me?!” “OH NO HE DIDN’T” and “WAIT WHAT?!”. So much started happening that I just got a little depressed because I’m gonna have to wait at least a whole damn year before I can get my impatient hands on the next book and THAT IS JUST NOT OKAY. And with that, I’m off to wallow in self-pity until I get the next book.

![]() Cassidy Serhienko So if you’ve read my reviews for ACOTAR or ACOMAF then you know that I FREAKING LOVE THIS SERIES. Well I have waited a year for this damn book and let me tell you, finally holding it in my hands was a borderline spiritual experience. I was a little surprised that it seemed so much shorter than A Court of Mist and Fury and I spent the few hours it took me to read this book in a blind panic because I was worried I’d have to wait another freaking year for this series to be resolved. Sarah J Maas is writing more books set in Prythian but the ending to this series was satisfying. Which is good because if it wasn’t I would have to write a strongly worded letter to Maas to write more books from Feyre’s POV. But about the book. Can I just say how much I loved it that whenever Tamlin opened his stupid mouth every other person in the room was basically like “Bitch sit down”. But seriously, all of these High Lords are standing around bickering and Feyre and Rhysand are always talking about sacrificing themselves to save everyone else, but if Nesta was in charge you know everyone would be dead (just freaking kill Tamlin) in like five minutes. I enjoyed the progression of Feyre’s relationship with her older sister, and I hope that we see more of her in the following books because she is one badass bitch. I will say I think the previous book is still my favourite in the series. You got to see the start of Rhys and Feyre’s relationship and meeting all of the members of the Night Court was the definition of a good time. You also got to see Feyre come into her own which translated well into this book. I liked that Feyre wasn’t a pro at the whole High Lady thing right off the bat because let's be real, she’s 17 and everyone around her is like a bajillion years old so she’s slightly out of her league here. I did find the ending a little rushed, I wished more time had been spent on the whole mirror thing. But then again, I also could’ve used more Rhysand Feyre Super Sexy Fun Time, so maybe I should check my priorities and you shouldn’t trust anything I have to say. Long story short, I am as crazy about this series as I was when I started and if you need me I’ll be holed up in a cave going crazy until 2018. |
