My Review   5-6 STARS
This is the first time in a long time that I have had that many feels and that many times when I actually cried with a book.

So much happens.  At first we have Feyre in the heart of the Spring Court, separated from her mate, knowing that she treads a fine line with what she knows she needs to do.  Feyre has to battle what she would rather do and get information, defend against Hyburn invaders as work against a High Priestess who is not the kind person she seems.

We watches she breaks things apart and get what she needs before she manages to escape, however it is not as easy she she thought and she ends up taking a back up route with a tow-way. 

Back home with her family and friends they work together towards bringing the other courts together and even go and help when another court is in trouble.  The only court to go and help the other.

Tensions are high and some are happier than others to be there and some seem less willing to help.  

Rhys, Feyre and and their family are the main characters doing all they can to gather help and forces in order to beat Hyburn.  Others may come on board, but the Night Court is the driving force of them all.  The leader and Armies that take most change, the Night Court even though the other High Kings come to war and off their aid.

There are so many twists and turns, things happening last minute and so many complicated relationships, so many tangles that you really cannot help but be sucked in to the brilliant world building and character development and the way the characters love and get strength from each other.

The last part of the book is my favourite.  The part that had me almost sobbing.  War is here and all the characters put their all into trying to defeat Hyburn and his army, Fay and human alike.

I ended up with a book headache with this one as I just COULD NOT put this book down.  I had me in its talons almost consumed with it until the last word was read.
