Full review on my blog!

I can't remember the last time I've been crying so hard.
Sarah J. Maas managed to rip my heart out with this one. I don't even know what to do with all my feelings.
To be honest, I can't remember any book ever affecting me this much. I finished A Court of Wings and Ruin in one sitting and was torn between reading more and getting closer to the end. I didn't want this to be over, didn't want to leave all those characters behind.

Not just the characters we already fell for. Like Rhysand who is just about perfect in every way. Or Feyre who is intense and relatable. Or Azriel, Cassian, Mor and Amren who deep are so much more than they seem at first glance. We get Feyre's sisters who are now also High Fae and we already know that Nesta is more than a handful. But also Elain, sweet Elain who always ways nothing but good. ACOWAR also marks the return of Lucien who appears to be a more complicated character than we knew until now.

I was also excited to learn a bit more about the other High Lords and their respective territories. I hope Sarah J. Maas will write some more books that allow us to explore all their courts!
