Feyre has undergone more trials than one human woman can carry in her heart. Though she’s now been granted the powers and lifespan of the High Fae, she is haunted by her time Under the Mountain and the terrible deeds she performed to save the lives of Tamlin and his people.
As her marriage to Tamlin approaches, Feyre’s hollowness and nightmares consume her. She finds herself split into two different people: one who upholds her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court, and one who lives out her life in the Spring Court with Tamlin. While Feyre navigates a dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a greater evil looms. She might just be the 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 in turmoil.
I thought I loved the first book in this series, but it turns out that what I really loved was the second book. I was hoping that Rhysand would have more of a presence in this volume. The book delivered. By the end of the first section, I was so angry at Tamlin and desperately hoping that Feyre could escape her fate. Thankfully Rhysand arrives and whisks her away, but more importantly, gives her agency and freedom to discover exactly what she wants. I absolutely adore their relatioship. We get to see Feyre grow and change and realize her own destiny. This book was a wild ride and took so many twists and turns, but was always easy to follow. I loved all the quiet moments between characters. Those scenes were the best. But my absolute favorite is the scene where Rhysand shows up at the wedding. Absolutely priceless!
