WE MIGHT SHARE A BRAIN.
...HELLO, FELLOW ACOMAFIST. WE MIGHT SHARE A BRAIN.<br /><br />Because, look, EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER love ACOMAF. EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER jumped ship. Unlike ToG, after ACOMAF this series is pretty much unanimous in its love and dislike of certain characters. So, yeah, we WOULD be of one mind.<br /><br />But YOU ACTUALLY FELT THE EXACT SAME AS ME ABOUT ACOTAR #1. AND ABOUT MOST OF THE CHARACTERS. Granted, I jumped ship the first time I read it and spent a year agonizing over how little Rhys there was in #1, but I, too, felt like it was sort of slow and basically uneventful and couldn't be sold on Tamlin and Feyre's dynamics and ALL THE AGREEMENT OF EVER with you on this! (And I ALSO started my ACOMAF review by reflecting on that same thing.) I still felt like ToG was the superior series. Now... ahahahaha. ACOMAAAAAAAF FOR PRESIDENT.<br /><br />Because... ALSO EVERYTHING YOU SAID. In particular - THE THEEEEEMES. AT LAST an EMOTIONALLY abusive dynamic gets called out! At. Freaking. Last. I might crown Sarah queen just for that. Because I feel like abuse gets a pretty two-dimensional treatment in YA/NA, even when people DO attempt to call it out. It's physical (and blatant), or it's verbal (and blatant). Or, if emotional, it's ROMANTICIZED. this tackled the final one and just... well, you said it all. I'LL JUST FLAIL AND NOD. NODDING AND FLAILING. Me with ACOMAF. AND this review.<br /><br />- LexieThe Honest Bookclubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11459426023919815702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-86961978841953637042016-05-31T23:59:15.289+01:002016-05-31T23:59:15.289+01:00Yes, yes, YES to all of the above.

I didn't read anything for two weeks after finishing it because the book hangover was SO BAD -- and, even then, I'm still having to force my way through other books while resisting the temptation to pick ACOMAF back up and devour it all over again!<br /><br />Also, isn't Rhysand just the best EVER?? I don't think I've fallen so hard for a fictional character since I was 14 and first read about Edward in Twilight. (Shh, don't judge me, I was young...)<br /><br />Thanks so much for a great post! I wish my review of this had been so well thought out and coherent, instead of me just bashing keys and squealing a lot. I'll maybe write a better one when I reread it. Which will probably be very soon... haha.<br /><br />Shaunna @ <a href="http://booksoverbros.com" rel="nofollow">Books Over Bros</a>Shaunna @ Shaunna Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18167877662815748466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-20982566772201596972016-05-22T22:51:46.260+01:002016-05-22T22:51:46.260+01:00Your review is perfection.

I was dreading this book in some ways because I thought it was going to be a love-triangle situation (and I didn't care for Rhys during my first read of ACOTAR) but it's SO clear that SJM had this book planned and the plot progression planned from the very beginning! <br /><br />-Cristina @ <a href="http://girlinthepages.com" rel="nofollow">Girl in the Pages</a><br />Cristina @ Girl in the Pageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18386751381524579160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-34469709408735240082016-05-21T21:26:34.619+01:002016-05-21T21:26:34.619+01:00This review makes me want to finish ACOTAR so badl...This review makes me want to finish ACOTAR so badly.

I agree with you 100% - I appreciated where she took Tamlin and Feyre's relationship and where she took Feyre and Rhysand's. The ending killed me, too. (Also, on another note, it's good to see love for Katniss post-Catching Fire. I love her in Mockingjay, but so many people think she's boring or annoying.)Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17561861156323120664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-65744590818120508062016-05-20T02:29:52.137+01:002016-05-20T02:29:52.137+01:00This book was just everything!

XD I read all the spoiler bits here because I don't actually plan to read the book... :P And I'd heard tons of stuff about Tamlin turning into the abusive monster, but I was worried the book was condoning it? So I'm REALLY glad it's not. But...I believe this isn't YA? I've heard it labelled NA and the characters are in their 20s, right? ANYWAY. I mean, not that that matters, hahha. But yeah.<br />I'm glad Maas isn't letting you down with this series! *cheers*CG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-30305229151346155962016-05-19T18:51:25.476+01:002016-05-19T18:51:25.476+01:00Oh wow, you definitely loved this book inside and ...Oh wow, you definitely loved this book inside and out! I'm glad you were able to enjoy this one so much and that you couldn't get enough of it. I just love it when I read the sequel to a book and it's EVEN BETTER than the first one, although that can be so hard to come by sometimes!

Something about him always irked me...probably his tantrums and violent outbursts. Rhys has SUCH a great evolution as he reveals himself and he sees women as EQUALS which is perfection. I LOVE HIM. Seeing Feyre grow into her trauma was beautiful as well and OMG THE NIGHT COURT SETTING was glorious ♥ SO MUCH AWESOME in this book. LOVED your review Charnell^^xxMichelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09220874121683955988noreply@blogger.com
