This is the third book in the series. I reviewed the first two books, A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES and A COURT OF MIST AND FURY. This blog post will definitely contain spoilers for the first two books, so if you don't want any spoilers, don't read this blog post.
There are definitely scenes of sex and violence throughout this story. If you don't like reading about those aspects about humanity, then I suggest not reading this book.
An amazon summary, "Feyre has returned to the Spring Court, determined to gather information on Tamlin's maneuverings and the invading king threatening to bring Prythian 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.
In this thrilling third book in the #1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling series from Sarah J. Maas, the earth will be painted red as mighty armies grapple for power over the one thing that could destroy them all." AMAZON LINK OF JUSTICE
So, at the end of A Court of Mist and Fury, Tamlin essentially betrayed all of Prythian to Hybern, just to get Feyre back at a very steep cost. Both of Feyre's sisters were dunked into the cauldron and turned into immortal High Fae, and the night court managed to escape, but barely. Tamlin took Feyre back to the spring court...where Feyre has started to undermine Tamlin in the eyes of his court for everything he has done to her and now this betrayal of Prythian. The traitorous Ianthe is still running amok, and a couple of Hybern's royals have come to find a weakness within the wall that separates the humans from the Fae.
That's enough summary; I feel like anything else is really going to skip a lot of interwoven tidbits throughout the story and I would hate do that.
I still really enjoyed this book, but I enjoyed it less than the previous two books. I thought the previous two books had a lot more in the way of plot, world building, character development, etc; and some of this book just felt a little hasty. Especially towards the end. There were still a TON of cool elements at play, but it was less enchanting than the previous two books. I still freaking loved it.
Slight spoiler - I did take some issue with the ending since everything kind of wrapped up a little too neatly considering how MUCH has been going on up until this point. I'm also kind of upset with how everything played out with Amren....like it felt a little too cheesy to me.
But overall, I still loved the book, and I think there's going to be more in this series? I'm not entirely sure what that would entail though.
Happy reading!
