Someone call 911..

I loved everything about this book!

ACOMAF follows on a few months after the events of ACOTAR as we are following Feyre and Tamlin as they recover from the aftermaths of the tunnels. Tamlin is trying to rebuild the Spring Court and Feyre is not only having to deal with a whole new self, but also deal with the extreme PTSD she is suffering after what she went through.

I loved the twists and turns in this book, and I honestly went through so many different emotions for all the different characters from shock, anger, betrayal as well as love, laughter and happiness as the book reveals the truth of who are actually Feyre's true friends and who are her enemies in disguise.

This book was definitely slow in places but I kind of loved that as well. I loved the Night Court so much, that was I was just delighted to spend as much time in it as I could - even for a lot of that time Feyre was moping about and dealing but not really dealing with her trauma. I developed a true appreciation for the beauty inside and out that is Rhysand and his fellow Illyrian warriors. I loved the backstory we got about the Night Court, Rhysand's family and the Illyrian training camps. The world Sarah J Mass has invented in this series is so vast, and I love that within two books we have so much information but we are still only on the tip of the iceberg. It makes me excited for the rest of the books!

I really appreciated how trauma and depression was dealt with in this book. Feyre received no magic fix for her trauma and what she needed was time. Time to really delve through everything she did and saw in the tunnels, as well as what was done to her. And even with that time, and the understanding of her new friends, she would never be truly fixed because that wouldn't be right. She learns slowly how to hold her head up high again and keep on going, which is sometimes all you can do when you have suffered so much. But she doesn't deny her trauma, she still feels it but she learns slowly how to lock it away at times.

There was a little bit more world building in this book for the human part of the world and I enjoyed learning about the human Queens and their relationship with the fae. I was a bit confused that there was never any mention of the Queens in the first book, but it wasn't a big deal.

This book has a LOT of sexual tension, as well as some lewd jokes and painful flirting. I hated and loved it all in equal measure but when the romance scenes came they were extra delicious to read about because we had been waiting for them for long. The sex scenes are definitely a bit over the top in this book but with all of the darkness and murder and evil creature the characters have to deal with, they are allowed over the top sex once in a while (or a lot of the time) I guess.

The new courts, the new characters and the new arcs in this book gave me so much joy and I really was hooked into this story. The only gripe I would really have is I would love to see more diversity within the characters - it's a well-known fact that faeries are queer as hell so where are all our same-sex couples at? And a few more faces that aren't plain old white would do nicely too
