Hello, my wonderful bookish friends! I know that I’m incredibly (like two years) late to reviewing this book, but I was going through my backlog of reviews and found this guy just waiting to be shared with the world. Mind you, this was written in 2017 when ACOWAR first came out and I finished the book (hence the first paragraph, but I liked the nostalgia of it), but my feelings haven’t changed.
Into the time machine, and back to 2017! Continue reading
I’m not sure what I was expecting from this book, but it was definitely not this and I love it. I got everything I want and more from ACOMAF. I’ve decided that I’m going to split this review into a non-spoiler section and a spoilery discussion section. Ok? Ok. Let’s get to this because there’s so much I need to get out. (This is a long one. Sorry!)
Synopsis: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.
That’s all I can really say without giving away too much. Keep on reading if you want to see my in-depth thoughts. 😀
***Spoiler warning from here on out***

**I received a copy of the book from the author via YA Buddy Readers’ Corner on Goodreads in exchange for an honest review**
The first things about this book that drew me in were the cover, the title, and the synopsis. The Little Mermaid happens to be both one of my favorite Disney movies and fairy tales in general, so this book was right up my alley. I really wanted to know what could possibly have made “the sea witch” evil. Ironically, I’m wearing my Littler Mermaid shirt as I write this. It’s fate!

I really wanted to like this book, and despite only having a 3 star average rating, I was willing to give it a benefit of the doubt. Then I started reading. At first, I really did not like Nyx. Or her family. It was extremely frustrating to read and I hated the whole, “Why don’t they love me, I hate them” thing…MAKE UP YOUR MIND.
The transition from hating Ignifex to loving him was weird/non-existent. One minute she hates him, the next she’s suddenly in love with him and he with her. It made me feel like she loved him just because he told her the same. However, I loved Ignifex. I thought he was mysterious and charming, despite the fact that he’s supposed to be this evil, deceitful, demon. Unsurprisingly, he wasn’t so much. He was actually fairly kind to her despite his namesake. Continue reading
If he was a faerie, I should already be running.

Synopsis: Feyre is a 19-year-old girl who lives with her father and two sisters. One day, while she was out hunting, she sees and kills a wolf, who, unknown to her, is a faerie. (It could’ve gone either way.) The following night, a faerie appears at their home and says that she either comes to live with him forever, or she has to die. She chooses to live with him. At first, she’s distrustful, but eventually becomes comfortable with her “captor,” Tamlin, and his court (his friend and emissary Lucien, his servants, etc.), eventually falling in love with him. Then, the truth about his predicament comes into the light, and Feyre is fighting for the one she loves in a place she’d never imagine that she’d be. Continue reading
