4.5 stars all the way! This story felt like a combination of The Selection and Poison Study books, two AMAZING series I never thought could be compared to other books. After the first fifty pages, I was addicted to this book. What I liked most was that it starts off feeling like a dystopian novel but then you realize its not that at all! And its perfect that Mare is more than just the love interest.

Chapter Forty-Two! It really got to me. The plot dynamic of this middle grade book is super impressive. I feel like every children's librarian read this book and was talking about it and I'm glad that I finally read the story. This is the perfect stand alone book and I'm going to stop with the series here. It's not poorly written in any way, I just feel that this book wrapped everything up so smoothly and I want it to stay that way.

It was difficult to not read this book in one sitting. I didn't want this magical series to end! I'm not ready to leave the world and the characters! It's so weird that this book started with Feyre at the Spring Court and then ends with the final battle. Those two events seem a lifetime apart! By the third book, I've become more invested in the Inner Circle and their wonderful friendship. Amren, Mor, Nesta, Elain, and Feyre as a girl gang are what I live for! My favorite aspect of the series is how the High Fae women support and stand by each other. The final battle was just as exciting as I imagined and so much information was packed in! No spoilers, but those tense moments with Rhys and Amren were so vivid that I. couldn't. stop. reading! And I honestly didn't think that Tamlin was going to aid Feyre in the end.
