Feyre survived Amarantha’s clutches to return to the Spring Court – but at a steep cost. Though she now possesses the powers of the High Fae, her heart remains human, and it can’t forget the terrible deeds she performed to save Tamlin’s people.
Nor has Feyre forgotten her bargain with Rhysand, the mesmerising High Lord of the feared Night Court. As Feyre navigates his dark web of political games and tantalising promises, a greater evil looms – and she might be key to stopping it.
But only if she can step into her growing power, heal her fractured soul and have the courage to shape her own future – and the future of a world cloven in two…
My Thoughts:
This is the second book in the ACOTAR Series and I would definitely reading these books in order, I would say they are not a standalone. You really need the back story and also they are just brilliant reads. Feyre has returned to the Spring Court after her dealings with Aramantha, she struggles with her new powers and to find her place in her new world. But Feyre is strong and nothing is going to stop her finding her way into this new world. The characters in this book are out of this world. When reading you can really imagine what they would be like in real life. It was such a powerful and captivating read. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

Echoes In An Empty Room 
I read the first book last week—on recommendation, and I unashamedly enjoyed it even though it fell way outside of my usual fare. I was shouting at the evil queen fairy lady by the end—even deploying the B-word, which is usually off limits—but there are always exceptions!

Exactly like me, I really haven’t liked fantasy in the past but there is something about these books that I really like. Look forward to reading the rest of the series now. Thanks for the comment

Right. I’ve read LotR and loved it (didn’t like Tom Bombadil—don’t get the attraction—felt like too much fill so early on—maybe I was missing something) and that’s the limit of my fantasy knowledge.
I’ve read exactly on Space-Opera: The Expanse (and have read the whole thing 4 times—some of the books 7-8 time, I got so attached to the characters) I would absolutely have found a way to teach the first book to my yr13s—it’s brilliant.
I think this might be that one series which falls outside what i usually gravitate to. Because I was really engaged—I’ve a soft spot for badass females full-stop.
I’ve been a sucker the last four years—since SARS really—with books with complex female characters, written by women—it started with Megan Abbott’s books (love them). And it snowballed from there There’s so much skill and talent out there at the minute. And so little time.
You’re welcome for the comment, I saw the book and thought, I loved that!

I think Feyre is an absolute inspiration! The way she deals with her problems is amazing. And I might be in love with Rhys…
