Second book in the series down. Yay! A significantly longer book this time, but not the longest in the series. I'm probably going to hide most of this review as I really don't want to spoil any of it for anyone, even just the small details. All I'll say for those who haven't read it yet is, in my opinion I thought it was once again a super easy read - new locations to explore, more characters to meet. I felt it was a little hard to get into at first, I think because in the first book everything was all new and exciting and then with this book, I was a little skeptical as to where the story could possibly go, but now I've finished the this second book, though I have no idea how the series is going to unfold, I do at least know the general direction now, and feel as though the end has set up the third book perfectly. I thought the plot developed really well, slow in certain aspects, fast in others. But all around a book you can easily get swept away with, rich in character development and locations.

Okay so to go into the details...

RHYSAND. Yes. Thank you very much. "Welcome to the Night Court." Oh YES please. Velaris. YUP. Take me there thank you very much. House of Wind. YUP. Illyrian Mountains. YUPP. Secluded cabin spelled to give you anything you want. YUPPP. Take. Me. There.

Okay, all that aside, I really loved seeing everything slowly come together. Feyre and Rhysand's relationship was not rushed. And Rhys turning out to be the good guy, with his whole life being explained, like his motivations and the fact that he was not cruel but rather wanted to protect his court and did everything he could to keep up a scary facade, that was so interesting. It made you look at the first book differently. And also his realisation of the mating bond during the first book - it all made sense. When things click and you go, "oh my god". And the ending?????? Suddenly everyone's got a mate??? Tamlin and Lucien working for the King of Hybern and then him turning Nesta and Elain into Fae's was NOT where I thought it would go. But I'm not mad. I love books with a good shock factor.

I do wish it was all a little darker though maybe? I feel like it wasn't that dark and could have perhaps been elevated if it just went that step further.

I heard a TV series adaptation has been rumoured too? Not sure if it's true. But there were definitely some parts, in this book particularly, where I could totally see it's potential for a series, if done right.

I've got to see this series through now. And I'm excited to finish it, onto the third let's gooooooooo.
