Review: I will try my best to make this spoiler-free because SO MUCH happens - Oh goodness. I will try my best to make this spoiler-free because SO MUCH happens! Now, this book came to me on its release day (thank you, desertcart). I started reading it almost immediately and then I had exams. This is why it took me so long to finish it. I would try to read it before work or before class, but I wouldn’t be fast enough. So, we know what happened in the second book. Feyre went back to Tamlin, but surprise! It’s just a little trick. She will find her way back to Rhysand. Duh, she does. That’s not really a spoiler. War is looming and she, as the High Lady, must work with the Night Court and her mate, Rhysand, in order to win this war and bring peace to all. Literally. So, I want to write this review differently. We love these characters so much, so I am going to break it down by character. No spoilers will be revealed for the characters. I will be careful. New characters are introduced in this book, but I will be letting you know about the familiar characters. - Feyre - So, the ending of the second book had us shook. For real. In the third book, Feyre is truly a badass. She is not taking any of Tamlin’s shit, let me tell you that. She is determined to find her way back to Rhysand and, yes she does, as noted above. When they reunite, of course there is the love-making. They wouldn’t be mates if they didn’t get it on, you know? Anyway...it’s a bit of an emotional reunion for Feyre, seeing her friends and such. Especially her sisters. We get a glimpse of them almost immediately, but I’ll talk about them lately. Throughout the book, Feyre is now a High Lady of the Night Court. She slowly learns how to control a room and she learns more about herself. This book really shows us how strong Feyre really is. - Rhysand - Right now, Rhysand is probably going through hell because he isn’t with Feyre and he isn’t sure when she will be back. It gets kind of worse when Feyre tries to get back to him. During that journey, their bond is silent. When they reunite, you get that giddy feeling reading their interactions again and I’m actually glad their separation doesn’t really last long. This is only if you ship them, though. In this book, I definitely got a sense of a struggle with Rhysand. It’s almost as if the ending of the second book and its events really made him vulnerable and he is definitely scared of losing Feyre and we learn more about his time with Amarantha when he was her icky love slave or whatever. We learn more things, too. I like this side of him, this vulnerable side. There are moments during the impending war where he expresses his fear of losing his family. I’m going to say that there is a moment with Rhysand where you stare at the book and you want to burst into tears. That’s all. No spoilers. - Lucien - Everybody wants Lucien. They wanted more of Lucien. I’m going to say, in my own opinion, that I was kind of disappointed in Lucien’s part of the story. I feel like there was not enough of him. He seemed to be absent, physically, for over half of the book. Before its release, I saw that people were excited to read more of Lucien and his POV. But, I was disappointed that it was lacking. I think his story isn’t over yet, though. There didn’t seem to be any closure for him. Hopefully, since this world continues, we will get more. - Nesta - Oh, Nesta. I think she is a love/hate character. We get more of her in this book and she becomes more likable, though still frustrating. Let’s just say the situation between her and Cassian drags and it just makes you roll your eyes. Not at Sarah, of course. At Nesta. She is so stubborn and it just annoyed me at times. However, with that aside, she definitely learns to become stronger and to accept herself as a Fae, which I find important. I mean, she doesn’t have much of a choice. She still has the attitude in her, but she has her badass moments. - Elain - Oh, man, It was heartbreaking to read about Elain and how she was handling things. I don’t know how else to describe it, really. It’s even worse when Lucien tries to interact with her with hardly any progress. In this book, Elain is stuck on Grayson. I mean, we know that isn’t going to happen anymore. But, it’s just sad. Again, with Lucien, I don’t think her story is finished. There are some unanswered questions. On a happier note, Elain learns to find her voice and her inner strength after what she went through. That made up for the rest of it. - Cassian - Oh, Cassian. He is still a smartass. But, something is definitely up with him here. I’m pretty sure it’s because of Nesta and her ignorance of him. He tries to hide the fact it bothers him, but you can tell it really does. We also see Cassian’s bond with Rhysand and how strong it really is; their fear of losing each other in this war. Cassian definitely wants to prove himself in this war and we see that, but some of the scenes were scary. Not sinister or anything. But, as a reader, you are very scared and worried something bad will happen to him. I’ll stop there, for your sake. I’m combining a few other characters together for one reason: - Amren, Azriel, Mor, Tamlin - Why are these characters combined? Well, let’s start with Amren. We only see Amren when she is helping Nesta and her connection with the Cauldron. There is a scene of betrayal, sort of. But, besides her AMAZING ending, she doesn’t feature that much. Azriel is kind of the same. He felt too much like a background character for me and, though there are scenes where you pray for him as you keep reading, I wish he was featured more. I don’t think he got much closure either. Which brings me to Mor. Oh man, we have a bombshell with her. I won’t reveal that, though. But, I wlll say her lack of closure goes with Azriel. Tamlin, Tamlin. I hate him, but I kind of don’t after reading this book. He spends most of the time just being pissy about what Feyre did, making innuendo jokes to get a rise, and just acting like a fifteen year old. However, there are moments where it seems he wants some kind of redemption or something. I will say that I do think he is still in love with Feyre, but I think his story is at an end. The closure is definitely there and hopefully he will find his own happiness. I want to reiterate that these opinions are my own opinions and how I felt about the book. Regardless of some of the negative opinions, I am still giving this book five stars. This book had me on edge and I’m glad but sad that this is the last full novel. Unless the book Gods and Sarah want to bless us with another full novel that isn’t a novella or something. I’m still praying. If you haven’t read this book because you are scared, don’t let that stop you. I was scared the whole way and I kept reading. I am very happy with this book and I loved entering this world again. This will probably be a series that I will definitely reread. That doesn’t happen often. Bottom line: You’ll always be wanting more of Feyre’s story.
Review: This entire series was a treasure - but there were cheers and tears in equal measure in ACOWAR. - A Court of Wings and Ruin further expands the fantastic world that Sarah J. Maas has built for us. We predominantly saw Feyre’s life in the human world and Tamlin’s Spring Court in A Court of Thorns and Roses. Then we were given a look into the mysterious Night Court and some time to explore the Summer Court in A Court of Mist and Fury. We are finally able to experience the other Courts in the third book, beyond brief mentions. The first Court we are given more information about is the Autumn Court, where Lucien hails from. Lucien is developed much further in this book, although we have gotten to know him fairly well throughout the first two books – it was nice to get more backstory and an explanation about why he is the male that he is. We also get to experience more of his father’s personality, as well as his eldest brother Eris’. She describes each palace, forest and street in Prythian with such vivid detail that the entire land comes to life in your mind. The strongest part of this series is the world building, although that does not mean that any of the other aspects of the series are lacking. I personally believe that her strong suit is illustrating such fantastic lands and that shines in this book. Each Court has its own way of ruling and they tend to keep to themselves. Although they have relations with one another, their alliances and communication are generally not very strong. This makes convincing them to all join together to face Hybern’s threat much more difficult, especially when all of the Courts don’t even agree that the King is a threat. Although the main characters were well developed over the course of the first two novels, they continue to grow in the third. Elain and Nesta especially take a more central role in the storyline than they did before, which allows the reader to get to know them better. More of Amren’s backstory is also revealed, which was honestly not something I ever expected to learn about because I didn’t think any of the characters were brave enough to question her – despite desperately wanting to know more about her. As you’re reading, you actually get chills as big actions are taken or decisions are made. You are that invested in the story, the characters, and the world that it physically affects you. I never felt that the pacing was slow, rather each event and scene built the narrative towards the final, explosive climax. It was a steady, enticing pace that pulled me in and never let go. If the book wasn’t as long as it is (and I didn’t have to leave my house to go to school), I would have sat there for ten hours straight reading. Each character, good or bad has become real so their struggles, triumphs and pain resonate within you. It is the book that makes an impact like this that will stay with you. I cheered and cried in equal measure reading this book. The stunning conclusion to this series left me breathless, and glad that though this story might be done the world of Prythian still had more tales to tell us.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good ending to the series that has some flaws
*by T***6 on July 15, 2017*

Feyre has returned to the Spring Court after making Tamlin and the rest think she was under Rhysand's mind control. Her goal is to gather intel on her enemies, namely Hybern, and push his subjects into rebelling. Feyre has to find out who to trust and who to be wary of as the battle of the century looms close. The people if Prythian need to band together or the powerful King Hybern may prevail in enslaving humanity. The previous two books in this series were amazing, so the third and final installment has a lot to live up to. For the most part, I was pretty happy. Feyre in particular impresses, especially as a double agent in the Spring Court. Tamlin deserved everything coming to him after his unrepentent abusive behavior, which continues in this book. Observing her as she undermined him at every turn and helped his court self destruct was incredibly satisfying. Outside of that, Feyre has some changes to adapt to. Her powers are well in hand, but her status as High Lady of the Night Court is brand new and she has to navigate how to be ruler to people she's also friends with. This is of course on top of trying to stop the most powerful being Prythian has ever seen. I especially love how she works with her friends and family to in order to achieve their goals using their specific skills instead of trying to be everything. The found family she has built is stronger than ever with the addition of her two sisters Elaine and Nesta. Her relationship to Rhys' friends (now her friends) deepens more than ever as they get to know each other and share experiences together. Her sisters weren't very well developed before, but Nesta especially becomes a real person in this book. Although she hates being a fae, she eventually finds ways to be productive that don't involve sitting around, being rude to everyone. She directs her anger into understanding her new powers and researching. Elaine spends most of the book stunned that her whole life as she knew it is over, but her powers of precognition show themselves more and more as the book goes on. At first, her vague descriptions are taken as madness, but when they are revealed as visions, she starts to truly live her new life. The addition of her sisters proves to be integral to the story as well as to Feyre's journey. Revisiting previous characters that weren't seen a lot in the last installment and meeting new characters ties everything together and fleshes out the world. Lucien more than redeemed himself for previous transgressions and grew to be so much more than Tamlin's puppet. Even Tamlin himself does a bit of good despite his abusive, controlling nature. (His previous actions aren't ignored or excused.) The rest of the High Lords have to choose a side and it was interesting to glimpse their personalities and the people in their Courts. It also shows how differently they run their Courts and interact with others. Cassian and Azriel are seen in their warrior capacities as usual, but when they become infatuated with Feyre's sisters, we get to see their slightly softer sides and explore their relationship with Mor. Where Rhysand's strength were shown in the previous book, his weaknesses are on display here, which I appreciated. He isn't perfect or an eternal font of energy, so it was good to see a powerful character worn down and devastated by war. One big part of the novel is the war aspect. Many times they have to fight the forces of Hybern to protect themselves or their people. Unfortunately, this is the part that made this book the weakest of the series. On one hand, I liked how realistically war is shown to be in the trappings of this fantastical world. However, there are numerous small battles and one large one at the end. They start to blend together and I'm not a huge fan of books about war. The plot had many twists and turns, which made the book unpredictable. Another criticism I had is the ending, which feels a little too convenient all around. I'm hopeful that Sarah J. Maas will be continuing the series, so it's not a permanent ending. Overall, the series is enjoyable with a relatable protagonist, a worthy love interest, and nonstop action throughout.
