Feyre has returned to the Spring Court, determined to gather information on Tamlin's actions and learn what she can about the invading king threatening to bring her land to its knees.

As war bears down upon them all, Feyre endeavors to take her place amongst the High Fae of the land, balancing her struggle to master her powers-both magical and political-and her love for her court and family. Amidst these struggles, Feyre and Rhysand must decide whom to trust amongst the cunning and lethal High Lords, and hunt for allies in unexpected places.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Our pulse was racing from the thrilling action scenes, daring acts of magic, and sizzling romance in the third installment of Sarah J. Maas’ epic fantasy series. Feyre, a mortal turned Fae and now High Lady of the Night Court, is preparing for a devastating war. She’ll do whatever it takes to aid her beloved mate, the brooding High Lord Rhysand, in marshaling forces against a threatened invasion—including going undercover at the court of her former lover, Tamlin, and attempting to enlist the very reluctant aid of her sisters, who are a lot more traumatized by their own transformations into Fae than Feyre is. Whom can she trust in this treacherous world of shifting alliances, and whom can she persuade to trust her? We loved watching as Feyre gained confidence in herself and her growing powers. And Maas definitely knows how to turn up the heat whenever Feyre and Rhys get together for some personal time. As exciting in the action sequences as it is when things get steamy, this is romantasy at its best.

Plot plot PLOT
This book had so many good moments. It felt like this could’ve spanned between 2 books, which is why I loved it so much! It was so good, so many heartfelt moments. From beginning to end, couldn’t put the book down.
Good story with lots of information and characters
This one keeps you rolling. At times I felt I needed a notebook to keep track of the names, locations and situations going on. Sometimes the story felt a little long, but when you hit a climax, it felt like the build was worth the wait. Characters that you remember from previous books make an appearance again. Some you are surprisingly fond of. Some, not so much. The story ends in a nice little bow that leaves a little ribbon to be tugged at for future stories. At the end, you can think of the characters and the numerous storylines that can be built from and branched off of this one. I anticipate Feyre, Rhys and company could be around for many years to come.
A bit hokey
If you were to take the highlights of all the magical mystery stories, Robin Hood legends and King Arthur wannabes of the world and wrap the best of these tidbits into one book this would be it I suppose. Which made it too sickening fairy tale like to stomach at times.
The other part that I did not like was the way she envisioned the characters behaviors. Some of the gestures made by the key players in the book such as, sticking their tongues out, was just stupid. I stopped reading at one point because it was just kiddie behavior being displayed in characters that were supposed to be strong, mysterious and powerful. Then there’s the vulgar gestures and young’s out??? Really? Anyway, just a bit unimaginative and seriously out of character for the role that the person was supposedly portraying. It was difficult at last to stay with it. Some parts being so predictable it was barely readable. Looked like she was trying to hard to appeal to all audiences. Blending all the current views of today’s world of being tolerant is makes you happy and rich! Oh and you get the love you’ve always wanted and deserved!!! Yuck!
