HELL.YES. Maas needs to write a book just for those two. I wanna know how they grow more into a love relationship (and also I wanna read the steamy scenes between them fufufu) I love those "I hate you but I love you" relationships ❤️❤️❤️
I feel like lucien is a good guy like i said in my review i think he was just too influenced by tamlin. I mean a better mate would be good but better than tamlin!
Also can we take a moment to remember what Rhys said about going insane if you don't use your powers? So basically Tamlin was happy to let Feyre go insane. COOL. TAMLIN THE TOOL STRIKES AGAIN.
That reference though...that was too much. LOL I DIED! Rhys reminds me of Sasuke from Naruto...I'm fangirling so hard I need to talk to everyone about this book.
It's been a week and a half since I finished the book and I'm still scouring the internet for reviews and comments becAUSE THIS NOVEL FUCKED ME UP SO GOOD.
tamlin wasn't always this way. I think this change in his character is an effect of his experience with amarantha. not giving any excuse for him, but he reminds me of those men th at go off to war all great then comes back all disturbed and abusive.
Sadly I also thought that, I loved Tamlin so much,also since it had the Beauty and the Beast vibe (love that movie) I just felt attached to Tamlin x Feyre but I really love how Maas took her time to change the love interest. Felt realistic (in fiction terms) and I loved the freaking friendship and OHMERGAWD I need to stop if I want to get into another series (which I'm having trouble at the moment **cough** book slump 😥)
While he did change because of his expernices for me u do see a hint of him being like that in book 1. He did lock her up for calanmai and sent her away to protect her. He did have that firece protectioness in book 1 i just think it got really bad in book 2 because of what happened to feyre.
+QueenAurora'sBooks he didn't lock her up for calanmai. he told her to, but halfway through the ritual she came out of her room. but yeah. I think everyone's protective of those they love. that isn't really a telltale that he's going to become a psycho control freak and unstable person.
I hope she makes prequel series too! Because, Azriels, Rhy and Cassian's Illyrian background stories were so interesting that I would love to read their story from kids growing up in that type of environment.
I haven't been able to start a book after finishing ACOMAF! It's one of my favorite books now and all I want is the third book. I hope Sarah knows it's ok to make the next book at least 1000 pages or just add a few extra books to the series. I'm dying without Rhysand rn.
I don't know if I can...But I agree I need like a 1000+ book...I could read her books forever. 600 PAGES, PFFFFFFTTTTTTT? THAT WAS LIKE A CUP OF TEA IT WAS SO GOOD.
Romandy Dimaranan Yes~ It was so creepy because she was blind...gaah just like Hansel and Gretel. I love how she "weaves" fairytale elements. Like this ENTIRE BOOOK felt like Arabian Nights / Aladdin. The first time he took her flying I was like THE MAGIC CARPET!
Sarah did a really good job writing the book in Feyre's POV. We were all just as blind as her about Tamlin's over-protective and obsessive behavior in ACOTAR even though the hints were all there. And we hated Rhys just like Feyre too, until ACOMAF happened.
Are we not going to talk about how she's the High Lady of the Night Court now?!!! Like it was so cool how Sarah approached the social class issues and gender issues facing the courts. That was so awesome when he had so much trips and faith in his mate that he made her his complete equal when even the example of his father's relationship to his mother could show a complete other side to a mating bond spectrum. I'm just so in love with this book ugh
That last line of the book absolutely killed me. I was so engrossed I didn't even notice it was over until I looked over to the other page and saw acknowledgements. I agree with everything you said Sasha! SUCH a good book
i liked how sjm showed how an abusive relationship isn't okay and how she not for a second validated the bad things rhys and feyre did. On the Tamlin topic though, he wasn't good in acotar?? He bit her w/o her consent (to punish her too, smh) and the next day made her feel bad about it?? Not for a second was that okay tbh.
I really loved Amren, in the ending she couldn't stop asking were Feyre was and if she was safe. So I think Amren and Feyre is going to have a really strong friendship. I hope it's something we are going to hear more about ❤️📚🌃
It was soo good! SPOILER ALERT! I felt the same way about Ianthe in the beginning of the book, like there was something off with her. I had my suspicions about Sarah writing in some sort of style that made me feel that way about her. And since you have it too, I think they're true. But the true masterpiece about Ianthe's character is that I cannot name something from the book that makes her suspicious. Also, why didn't you say something about Cassian and Nesta? I really ship them!
i actually didnt think it was as good as A Court of Thorns and Roses at first but when i hit the 300 page mark i fell completely in love with this book! My fav book of the year
i love your makeup 😊 and my heart had been broken when Feyre had to act like she didn't want to be Rhys' mate. i was actually crying. and then we found out they're still mates and i was so so so happy i couldn't stop smiling
Spoilers!! But I don't think tamlin did all of that for love. I think it has everything to do with what it looks like to other people. 1.he is trying to build a stronger court 2. He got his "fiancé" taken away Infront of everybody 3.he already had bad history with rhys So of course he had to get her back cause people will look at him and see him as weak. I think there's going to be a rude awakening for feyre at the spring court. I don't think he truly believes feyre was being "mind controlled" idk just my thoughts
Sasha you are the cutest thing on the planet! I didn't like LOVE ACOTAR when I read it, I think I was just like way more in love with the whole TOG series so it set a high bar for SJM's books but now I'm like should I reread ACOTAR and give ACOMAF a chance?
I think I've gotten a book slump after reading ACOMAF.....I really wanna read the throne of glass series but I'm holding myself back until the last book...but still I'm trying to get into another series and I can't....help....
+Lauren McGlaughlin Omg yes yes yes I was so happy when it started getting more famous on booktube because I felt so alone when I fangirled about Magnus and Jonas!
my friend was not even in the night court yet still with tamilin and she was so annoyed with tamlin and i kept explaining to her that once you get to Rhy's all will be well in the world and she got to Rhy's and wasn't annoyed. I just thought that was funny because i was a hardcore shipper of feyre and tamlin and then this book i was like tamlin go to hell please you are ruining my happiness and now i love Rhy's and will always love Rhy's.
**SPOILERS** I was so slow in reading this because I shipped Tamlin so hard and wanted things to turn around, but that ending crushed me in all the best ways. Now I can't believe I ever shipped them together. Can it be next year already?
Guys I have a problem. I feel like sobbing at the thought that I now have to start a new book because I finished ACOMAF. I get attached to characters but there are little books that make me so stuck on the story and I don't want to move on. Like a book without Rhysand is giving me anxiety 😂😭
It was awesome. I need to fangirl so hard with everyone about this I can't contain my feels for this week...I need to re-read it over and over again. I can't believe we have to wait for the next one...How long?
I felt exactly the same while reading ACOMAF. This book is literally my favourite book ever, it was so well constructed and the writing was simply amazing. I love the characters construction and how she deals with serious domestic problems such as PTSD, depression and abusive relationship. Those things are hard to get past but Feyre managed to do so with the help of Rhys. Beside, together they are just so perfect. It was obvious that at the end of ACOTAR he realised that she was his mate (though I thought he realised he was in love with her). How Sarah displayed the intrigued and new characters was purely amazing. And because the whole story is written from her perspective, as a reader, you also start to fall in love with Rhys in such a way that he haunts your dreams at night (sorry not sorry haha). I could spend hours talking about it ! Best Book Ever
COMPLETELY agree with everything you said I loved the sex aspect as well to me its kind of like your bathroom thing its a part of life so why hide it? When the bond breaking thing was going on I was crying but at the same time I was like no way can a mating bond (something that is just natural) be able to be broken like a different kind of bond that was made. I am so happy that I was right!
Haven't watched all of the video yet, but this is honestly the best book I've ever read. And I just- I'm at a loss for words. I finished it three days after it came out and still can't stop thinking about it. (And HELLA YES, I liked Rhys at the end of ACOTAR so ACOMAF was just amazzzzingggg.)
I hope Tamlin is able to redeem himself in book 3 because I really don't want Sarah to kill him off. I'm so attached to Tamlin that I just NEED him to redeem himself and find his true mate and be happy so he can let Rhys and Feyre be happy 😭 If Tamlin dies I will be so mad. Yes everyone hates Tamlin and yes he was extremely stupid but I don't want him to die 😭😭😭
I've cried before when I was reading books like The Fault in our Stars and books that are supposed to really make you cry. But I have never cried so much as when I thought that the mating bond was cut. I was crying even after I knew that it wasn't really cut. It was the first time in my life that I cried uncontrollably. The tears just kept coming and coming. I salute to you Sarah J. Maas. You are an amazing, amazing writer
I just finished two minutes ago and I am shook. I have cried, laughed and just had to stop and stare into space during this book. I can not even form words after this book it’s now my favourite series.
This is my new favourite book. I had a book hangover for an entire weekend afterwards while I contemplated what to do with my life until the next one comes out! I love your channel and discussions Sasha, you inspired me to start booktubing!
I LOVED the book too! I have read countless times that the "love triangle" in the book is "sooo cliché" but I didn't even see it as a triangle in that sense because in Book 2 Feyre is a completely new person. Her experiences shaped her into something else, she was changed into a Fae so of course she's gonna be different! So for me, it was just simply reading about someone who's needs have changed - and Rhys helps her with that change. In a way, he represents the change. I can't even express how much I loved this book it was freaking AMAZING
Yay! I'm so glad you liked it! I honestly think ACOMAF is probably my most favorite book, too! I think there are 2 books left in TOG so that series shouldn't be ending next year. I really wish Sarah would keep the ACOTAR world going for more than 3 books!
I dated Tamlin... this book was my therapy. There were signs in ACOTAR that tamlin was narcissistic and controlling but I didn’t really pick up on them at the time and I didn’t notice the red flags in my own relationship for what they were. This series helped me to let go of the guilt I felt for not being what my ex wanted (much like feyre playing housewife), recognize I was in an extremely toxic relationship, and the blame was not on me. Rhysand showed me what love actually is... freedom not safety. I read this book in one sitting and then multiple times afterwards and recommended the series again and again. I don’t think it is the most amazing in terms of the writing style but there are so many good lessons and Sarah’s books are always a pleasure to read 😉
My favourite part of the book was really the end! Since Tamlin thinks the games are over but in Feyre and Rhys's point of view it's just the beginning of the game! Please tell me I'm not the only one that loved that part.
IS ANYONE GOING TO TALK ABOUT HOW RHYS MADE HER THE HIGH LADY WHEN THERE ARE NO HIGH LADIES LIKE OMG THAT WAS RIDICULOUSLY AMAZING HE RESPECTED HER SO MUCH AND HELLO WHAT ABOUT THE FACT THAT LUCIEN AND ELAIN ARE MATES OMG
I decided to reread ACOTAR before reading ACOMAF (I just can't stop myself from reading them the month they're released so I needed to refresh) and the gradual character development was perfect! And along the way, as the things become known, it created such a stronger relationship between reader and characters! I love this book so much! I can't even describe!
At first I didn't enjoy the shift regarding Tamlin as well, but as I continued to read I realized that it was an interesting plot device and I enjoyed the fact that Feyre didn't blame Tamlin but she saw it was the fact that she had changed and by the end Rhys was hands down one of my favorite characters -- also I definitely agree that Sarah treated PTSD as a legitimate life altering issue
I honestly read a court of mist and fury in 2 days it was so much better than the first one and I loved it so much! I loved the ending but I really hated the ending at the same time like I feel like it ended kinda abruptly but at the same time it ended so good because it ended with Rhys talking about how Fayre was gonna take down the spring court and I was just like yessss girl you tear down Tamlins court for being such a little you know what to you. I can't wait for the third book to come out and I'm honestly okay with it being like 1000 pages long because they have a lot of messes to clean up and everything but I honestly can't wait!!!!!! So excited!
SPOLIERS i feel like with Tamlin was always like that but he was never presented with the scenario. But when he locked her away i was SO MAD, but i always love Rhys idk why but i loved him i knew he couldnt have helped her so much for no reason. i loved Feyres power she is such a strong character in both books. and i LOVE HER AND RHYS RELATIONSHIP EVERYTHING ABOUT IT EVERYTHING. but i CANNOT WAIT until she blows up tamlins whole court.
Kena Marubu controversial but perhaps true. I haven't decided yet. I kept hoping that one of the characters from throne of glass would show up. Like a crossover lol
Thank you for this video! You just put all my feelings into words! I love ACOMAF and am not ready for this series to end, I will need lots of spin-offs about all the characters ❤ And your reaction to all the steamy scenes in the novel was hilarious but, if we are all being honest here, was very accurate. Sarah really knows how to write powerful and emotional scenes that will engage her readers!
THIS BOOK DESTROYED ME I READ IT IN LESS THAN 3 DAYS. IT WAS EVERYTHING...Probably the best book i have EVER, EVER READ. Just the adventures and action...each page had a new action. A lot of books don't have that...this was so good. I felt some Team Avatar feels in this too with their little friend group.
When the king said maybe "they" could also find high lord mates I kept laughing cuz "behold the cauldron, the new eharmony! Find you're mate here!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sad that the spoiler-free portion of the video was a bit short, but understandable. Have the book, have not read it yet because I am saving it. I want to hold off as long as I can so I can savor the anticipation for as long as possible. So! Excited!
I finished it today. I took the book to the bathroom, read it during classes, during lunch, took it to the shower with me, on the bus, taxi, before bed, while eating breakfast. And I finished it right in the middle of class. And I LOVED IT, my favorite book too SO FAR. DAMN IT WAS GOOD. I'm so hooked, i want to read the third book immediately but we don't have English books stored in my country. This video made me say "YASS IKR" the whole time
I really loved this book too. While Tamlin's character change did seem a bit abrupt, I think he did show hints of that in ACOTAR, and his experiences Under the Mountain made it worse. I just adored Feyre's character development along with Rhy's. I personally wasn't a big fan of the steamy scenes though, I would've prefer if they had been left out. There were so many new amazing characters introduced in this book as well. I can't wait for the next one!
OMG.....I really wish I had pre-ordered this book, so that I could be ready for this video... But, I have read it and I SO SO SO agree with you Sasha!!! I so wish we could fangirl over it together!!! I agree with each and everything you said in this review....Totallyyyyy totallyyyy agree... Tamlin is an idiot Rhys is bae Feyre is bawse... I want the third book. Anyone else agree with me??
I loved this review, because Sasha said everything I felt about the book... It's amazing... Sarah did a GREAT JOB!!!!!! I love love love Rhys!!! And I hate hate hate Tamlin!
I actually like Lucien a lot and I wanna find out more about his character 😄. Especially now that he found a new mate!! And i'm so curious to see how Feyre's sister are going to be after the transformation
I JUST FINISHED IT AND I CANNOT DEAL. This is definitely one of my favorite books ever and I plan to start rereading it immediately! UGH RHYS AND FEYRE BUT RHYYYYYS. (I want my own Rhys...) I love the inner circle. Chapter 55 is phenomenal tbh. Chapter 54 was so important tho, hearing everything from Rhys' perspective. I can literally talk about this book for days, I'm still way too hyped from it. btw, you slay me with that look. Love iiit.
I was nodding along the entire time this book is AMAZINg, I agree wholeheartedly! So many people think the characters are OOC but there's been a lot of character development and personality reveals! I loved it. and I love your makeup!!
YES! You literally just said everything I was thinking about this book. What did you think of her sisters going into the cauldron and nesra pointing? It gave me chills x
Yes it did !!! It makes the ending so much more interesting !! I don't know how they'd react and who they'd adapt as immortals (and why did Rhys' squad dropped them in somewhere "safe"?)
Yaa, i thought she was gonna summon some power, acquired while changing to Fae, she has a really strong mental power, i want see if Nestas' really got some power in the next book, and a few scene of Nesta and feyre together fighting war and also Nessian!! OOHHHMYGAAWWWD!! So Excited for the next!!
I love this review. This has to be the best book I have read in the last three years. Like I couldn't put it down. I was an emotional wreak and Rhys was my favorite in book one so I am so glad he was in this book so much.
I'm curious about what'll happen about Tamlin advancing on Feyre too. but OH MY GOSH when I read that the mating bond had been broken, I was so ticked off and in shock and disbelief that I couldn't read it for a while. I had to force myself to finish it and the wave of relief when I read the end was like holy crap Maas you're a freaking genius! I think she rivals Cassandra Clare with her plot twists cause holy dang I did not see that coming.
Aarthi Krishnan honestly! In that moment I was upset that Sarah j mass written this book in first person. Cuz I really wanted to know what went through their mind. I also wanted to know about Nesta and Casseis. I spelled there name wrong. Lol
I honestly was thinking all of these things I couldn't have said it better I finished the book yesterday and was waiting for you to do a review. My dad was like why are you crying and I'd be like this book is killing me.
Great video! I loved this sequel more then the first book, and I thought that I really loved ACOTAR when I first read it. Did you know that there will actually be 6 books in the series now instead of 3, as well as 2 novellas? I'm so happy!!
This book was amazing. I loved it so much that Rhys made feyre his High Lady. He knew how badly feyre didn't want to be weak and in control of her own life. They will rule together and I think that's awesome. Also, Amren and Mor's reaction's when they found out made my entire life.
I took my time reading this book because 1- I'm a mum of 2 and my only spare time is bed time haha and 2- I didn't want it to end, It was bloody amazing. I loved ACOTAR so much, I didn't expect ACOMAF to be 10x better which was a pleasant surprise. Can not wait for the next book!!

I cried from happiness when I read that the mating bond was not broken
Yes!!!
same!!!!
yaasss
same
I was in public for the past 200 pages and Omg I was suppressing my emotions so hard-i just wanted to scream throughout those last few chapters!
I died when Amren used the blood ruby as a paperweight
Baylee Silverwolf samee
Do you remember that part when the Suriel says "Stay with the High Lord"? HE WAS TALKING ABOUT RHYS OMG, NOT TAMLIN.
YES IKR
OMG REALLY
HOLY- YES
OMG, really!!!
My heart is exploding with my love for Rhys
Yasss Matt as Rhys... so hot
YESSSS
YESSSSSSSSSSS RHYS IS EVERYTHING.
OMG SAME!
YESS I LOVE RHYS
I feel so silly for being so emotionally attached to a fictional character. Rhys doesn't exist and yet I swear I am in love with him. Ugh.
I think everyone who read the book is.
omg it is so nice to know i am not the only one
I am not ashamed to say I am in love with him.
Um . Excuse YOU. Rhys DOES exist . He just exists in another world
SAME
Is anyone else SOOOO shipping Nessian? *ALL HANDS RAISED*
Yes yes yes a million times yes
HELL.YES.
Maas needs to write a book just for those two. I wanna know how they grow more into a love relationship (and also I wanna read the steamy scenes between them fufufu) I love those "I hate you but I love you" relationships ❤️❤️❤️
YASSSS
YES OML NESSIAN IM JUST OVERWHELMED
Yes! I ship it so hard ❤️
I had to close my book and pace around my room when Tamlin and Lucien walked in
Destiny Holt OMG! this was so me!!xD i just had to calm myself down before i continued reading....
same my heart literally stopped 😣
Destiny Holt lol same
I SCREAMED
I closed the book, screamed, scared the shit out of my parents, then causally went back to reading.
WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT THE HIGH LADY THING IT MADE ME SCREAM WITH FEELS!!!!??!!
Yeah... I loved the book.
OH YESSS!!!!! SO AMAZINGGGGGG
R.I.P. anyone who scrolls down and did not read ACOMAF lol
I was reading late at night and finishing it up and I tried SO HARD NOT TO SCREAM!!!!
I know lol it's so great
I was pointing at the book and I was like "damn
I died when we found out who's Lucien's mate is
I gasped so loud, my brother asked me what happened 😂 and then I started laughing cause it was like "Oh, of course"
I feel like lucien is a good guy like i said in my review i think he was just too influenced by tamlin. I mean a better mate would be good but better than tamlin!
QueenAurora'sBooks I agree with you 100% tbh. Tamlin has superiority over Lucien and he probably feels like he can't do much.
letsgetreckless Yea I feel like deep down lucien is a really good person.
QueenAurora'sBooks I hope in the next book we really get to know what he's like and gets to speak for himself more. I like him a lot.
Also can we take a moment to remember what Rhys said about going insane if you don't use your powers? So basically Tamlin was happy to let Feyre go insane. COOL. TAMLIN THE TOOL STRIKES AGAIN.
Wanna be naughty with an Illyrian? Stroke his wings. OH MY GOSH! When she stroke his wings!! I can't! I can't! Haha
That reference though...that was too much. LOL I DIED! Rhys reminds me of Sasuke from Naruto...I'm fangirling so hard I need to talk to everyone about this book.
Me too! I was like "Oh you Illyrians! So sensitive!" And I laughed like a crazy person and I realized I was reading in public.
BecomingTia GO AHEAD PLEASE!! Same feelings girl.. I just finished this book and I feel like exploding
But what about the WINGSPAN
It's been a week and a half since I finished the book and I'm still scouring the internet for reviews and comments becAUSE THIS NOVEL FUCKED ME UP SO GOOD.
xtina OMG SAME HERE!!!!!😭😭😭
tamlin wasn't always this way. I think this change in his character is an effect of his experience with amarantha. not giving any excuse for him, but he reminds me of those men th at
go off to war all great then comes back all disturbed and abusive.
I can definitely see that happening! Good point!
Sadly I also thought that, I loved Tamlin so much,also since it had the Beauty and the Beast vibe (love that movie) I just felt attached to Tamlin x Feyre but I really love how Maas took her time to change the love interest. Felt realistic (in fiction terms) and I loved the freaking friendship and OHMERGAWD I need to stop if I want to get into another series (which I'm having trouble at the moment **cough** book slump 😥)
I agreee...Seriously, I don't think I can read another book without high expectations now.
While he did change because of his expernices for me u do see a hint of him being like that in book 1. He did lock her up for calanmai and sent her away to protect her. He did have that firece protectioness in book 1 i just think it got really bad in book 2 because of what happened to feyre.
+QueenAurora'sBooks he didn't lock her up for calanmai. he told her to, but halfway through the ritual she came out of her room. but yeah. I think everyone's protective of those they love. that isn't really a telltale that he's going to become a psycho control freak and unstable person.
I hope she makes prequel series too! Because, Azriels, Rhy and Cassian's Illyrian background stories were so interesting that I would love to read their story from kids growing up in that type of environment.
I haven't been able to start a book after finishing ACOMAF! It's one of my favorite books now and all I want is the third book. I hope Sarah knows it's ok to make the next book at least 1000 pages or just add a few extra books to the series. I'm dying without Rhysand rn.
Same, I found an AMAZING book 3 fanfic by sarahviehmann on tumblr that got me out the slump, HIGHLY recommend
+Fern Newman ooh I'll have to check it out! Thanks for the recommendation!
Same!! Im in such a hangover/slump 😫
Haha me too, I just started re-reading TOG.. Let's when I can read a book Sarah J. Maas hasn't written
I don't know if I can...But I agree I need like a 1000+ book...I could read her books forever. 600 PAGES, PFFFFFFTTTTTTT? THAT WAS LIKE A CUP OF TEA IT WAS SO GOOD.
Is no one gonna mention how creepy the prison and Weaver scenes were?!!?! D: SO AWESOME
The Weaver scene made me feel like I was watching a really good horror movie. ^o^
I know right! I loved it!
It was Hansel and Gretel! It reminded me of a scene from Once Upon a Time. So, so good!
+BecomingTia I think I recall myself shrieking when the Weaver started climbing up the chimney towards Feyre.
Romandy Dimaranan Yes~ It was so creepy because she was blind...gaah just like Hansel and Gretel. I love how she "weaves" fairytale elements. Like this ENTIRE BOOOK felt like Arabian Nights / Aladdin. The first time he took her flying I was like THE MAGIC CARPET!
Sarah did a really good job writing the book in Feyre's POV. We were all just as blind as her about Tamlin's over-protective and obsessive behavior in ACOTAR even though the hints were all there. And we hated Rhys just like Feyre too, until ACOMAF happened.
Are we not going to talk about how she's the High Lady of the Night Court now?!!! Like it was so cool how Sarah approached the social class issues and gender issues facing the courts. That was so awesome when he had so much trips and faith in his mate that he made her his complete equal when even the example of his father's relationship to his mother could show a complete other side to a mating bond spectrum. I'm just so in love with this book ugh
OKAY SASHA DID IT NOW I JUST NEED KAT AND CHRISTINE TO DO A REVIEW
+Kashish jesse wont do it i think, he said that he doesnt enjoy "mature scene" in a book and at this point he might not read acomaf
That last line of the book absolutely killed me. I was so engrossed I didn't even notice it was over until I looked over to the other page and saw acknowledgements. I agree with everything you said Sasha! SUCH a good book
i liked how sjm showed how an abusive relationship isn't okay and how she not for a second validated the bad things rhys and feyre did. On the Tamlin topic though, he wasn't good in acotar?? He bit her w/o her consent (to punish her too, smh) and the next day made her feel bad about it?? Not for a second was that okay tbh.
Totally forgot about that!
I really loved Amren, in the ending she couldn't stop asking were Feyre was and if she was safe. So I think Amren and Feyre is going to have a really strong friendship. I hope it's something we are going to hear more about ❤️📚🌃
The only character I really missed was Lucien because he was my favorite
It was soo good!
SPOILER ALERT!
I felt the same way about Ianthe in the beginning of the book, like there was something off with her. I had my suspicions about Sarah writing in some sort of style that made me feel that way about her. And since you have it too, I think they're true. But the true masterpiece about Ianthe's character is that I cannot name something from the book that makes her suspicious.
Also, why didn't you say something about Cassian and Nesta? I really ship them!
SPOILER
What about Lucien and Elain being mates?!?!?! And the way Cassian is acting towards Nesta?!?!
'I picture Ryes as Matthew Daddario guys, so, whoo' .... I love you Sasha, I laughed out loud so loudly
idk why but i really like tamlin when i read the first book, but then there's come the second book and tamlin just broke my heart
"Tamlin your an idiot."
"No she's not your dog"
Sarah Barbee IDIAAT!
i actually didnt think it was as good as A Court of Thorns and Roses at first but when i hit the 300 page mark i fell completely in love with this book! My fav book of the year
i love your makeup 😊 and my heart had been broken when Feyre had to act like she didn't want to be Rhys' mate. i was actually crying. and then we found out they're still mates and i was so so so happy i couldn't stop smiling
LOVED your hairstyle, makeup look, bookshelves, and offcourse your way of expressing your thoughts... Ly Sasha!
THANK YOU
Spoilers!!
But I don't think tamlin did all of that for love. I think it has everything to do with what it looks like to other people.
1.he is trying to build a stronger court
2. He got his "fiancé" taken away Infront of everybody
3.he already had bad history with rhys
So of course he had to get her back cause people will look at him and see him as weak. I think there's going to be a rude awakening for feyre at the spring court. I don't think he truly believes feyre was being "mind controlled" idk just my thoughts
Andrina patricia this is an interesting theory and actually sounds really plausible. Now I'm curious to see what happens in the next book
Sasha you are the cutest thing on the planet! I didn't like LOVE ACOTAR when I read it, I think I was just like way more in love with the whole TOG series so it set a high bar for SJM's books but now I'm like should I reread ACOTAR and give ACOMAF a chance?
Totally give it a chance!
I think I've gotten a book slump after reading ACOMAF.....I really wanna read the throne of glass series but I'm holding myself back until the last book...but still I'm trying to get into another series and I can't....help....
try The Lunar Chronicles or maybe The Selection series the last books are already out for these two
The Fallen Kingdoms series is so amazing and it helped get rid of my book slump. It may help you!
+Lauren McGlaughlin Omg yes yes yes I was so happy when it started getting more famous on booktube because I felt so alone when I fangirled about Magnus and Jonas!
Ooh, is it? I need something because my expectations are way too high right now.
Magdelene Khor I know! It's always so great when other people love the same books
Rhys ❤️❤️❤️ I fell in love with him
NESSIAN IS LIFE
lizzie hart 😍😍
my friend was not even in the night court yet still with tamilin and she was so annoyed with tamlin and i kept explaining to her that once you get to Rhy's all will be well in the world and she got to Rhy's and wasn't annoyed. I just thought that was funny because i was a hardcore shipper of feyre and tamlin and then this book i was like tamlin go to hell please you are ruining my happiness and now i love Rhy's and will always love Rhy's.
**SPOILERS**
I was so slow in reading this because I shipped Tamlin so hard and wanted things to turn around, but that ending crushed me in all the best ways. Now I can't believe I ever shipped them together. Can it be next year already?
Guys I have a problem. I feel like sobbing at the thought that I now have to start a new book because I finished ACOMAF. I get attached to characters but there are little books that make me so stuck on the story and I don't want to move on. Like a book without Rhysand is giving me anxiety 😂😭
Awkward Turtle lol I know I'm late but YES! and after ACOWAR...
been waiting for this 😍 this book was amazing omg
Sarah J Maas never disappoints:)
It was awesome. I need to fangirl so hard with everyone about this I can't contain my feels for this week...I need to re-read it over and over again. I can't believe we have to wait for the next one...How long?
+BecomingTia another year TTvTT
KuroiAiren5 Aww man
I have changed my favorite book series to a court of thorns and roses because it was absolutely incredible and I loved it so much.
I felt exactly the same while reading ACOMAF. This book is literally my favourite book ever, it was so well constructed and the writing was simply amazing. I love the characters construction and how she deals with serious domestic problems such as PTSD, depression and abusive relationship. Those things are hard to get past but Feyre managed to do so with the help of Rhys. Beside, together they are just so perfect. It was obvious that at the end of ACOTAR he realised that she was his mate (though I thought he realised he was in love with her). How Sarah displayed the intrigued and new characters was purely amazing. And because the whole story is written from her perspective, as a reader, you also start to fall in love with Rhys in such a way that he haunts your dreams at night (sorry not sorry haha). I could spend hours talking about it ! Best Book Ever
COMPLETELY agree with everything you said I loved the sex aspect as well to me its kind of like your bathroom thing its a part of life so why hide it? When the bond breaking thing was going on I was crying but at the same time I was like no way can a mating bond (something that is just natural) be able to be broken like a different kind of bond that was made. I am so happy that I was right!
just finished ACOMAF, one of the best books I have read! those last 200ish pages has me on the edge!
Love your makeup and hair! I really loved Feyre's character development and I'm very excited to see where the story goes in the next book!
Haven't watched all of the video yet, but this is honestly the best book I've ever read. And I just- I'm at a loss for words. I finished it three days after it came out and still can't stop thinking about it.
(And HELLA YES, I liked Rhys at the end of ACOTAR so ACOMAF was just amazzzzingggg.)
I hope Tamlin is able to redeem himself in book 3 because I really don't want Sarah to kill him off. I'm so attached to Tamlin that I just NEED him to redeem himself and find his true mate and be happy so he can let Rhys and Feyre be happy 😭 If Tamlin dies I will be so mad. Yes everyone hates Tamlin and yes he was extremely stupid but I don't want him to die 😭😭😭
I've cried before when I was reading books like The Fault in our Stars and books that are supposed to really make you cry. But I have never cried so much as when I thought that the mating bond was cut. I was crying even after I knew that it wasn't really cut. It was the first time in my life that I cried uncontrollably. The tears just kept coming and coming. I salute to you Sarah J. Maas. You are an amazing, amazing writer
It's so nice seeing your name in the acknowledgements of acomaf😀
I just finished two minutes ago and I am shook. I have cried, laughed and just had to stop and stare into space during this book. I can not even form words after this book it’s now my favourite series.
This is my new favourite book. I had a book hangover for an entire weekend afterwards while I contemplated what to do with my life until the next one comes out! I love your channel and discussions Sasha, you inspired me to start booktubing!
I LOVED the book too! I have read countless times that the "love triangle" in the book is "sooo cliché" but I didn't even see it as a triangle in that sense because in Book 2 Feyre is a completely new person. Her experiences shaped her into something else, she was changed into a Fae so of course she's gonna be different! So for me, it was just simply reading about someone who's needs have changed - and Rhys helps her with that change. In a way, he represents the change. I can't even express how much I loved this book it was freaking AMAZING
Yay! I'm so glad you liked it! I honestly think ACOMAF is probably my most favorite book, too!
I think there are 2 books left in TOG so that series shouldn't be ending next year. I really wish Sarah would keep the ACOTAR world going for more than 3 books!
I dated Tamlin... this book was my therapy. There were signs in ACOTAR that tamlin was narcissistic and controlling but I didn’t really pick up on them at the time and I didn’t notice the red flags in my own relationship for what they were. This series helped me to let go of the guilt I felt for not being what my ex wanted (much like feyre playing housewife), recognize I was in an extremely toxic relationship, and the blame was not on me. Rhysand showed me what love actually is... freedom not safety. I read this book in one sitting and then multiple times afterwards and recommended the series again and again. I don’t think it is the most amazing in terms of the writing style but there are so many good lessons and Sarah’s books are always a pleasure to read 😉
MY LOVE FOR RHYSAND IS INFINITELY BEYOND ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
❤️❤️SAME❤️❤️ and more in ACOWAR
My favourite part of the book was really the end! Since Tamlin thinks the games are over but in Feyre and Rhys's point of view it's just the beginning of the game! Please tell me I'm not the only one that loved that part.
I like how you pointed out how Rhys and Feyre's love was natural! GREAT VIDEO SASHA LOVED IT
I'm obsessed with this book! I read it when it came out and I still can't stop thinking about it. Talk about a book hangover
IS ANYONE GOING TO TALK ABOUT HOW RHYS MADE HER THE HIGH LADY WHEN THERE ARE NO HIGH LADIES LIKE OMG THAT WAS RIDICULOUSLY AMAZING HE RESPECTED HER SO MUCH AND HELLO WHAT ABOUT THE FACT THAT LUCIEN AND ELAIN ARE MATES OMG
Finally! I have been waiting for this.
SASHA YOUR HAIR AND MAKEUP IN THIS VIDEO IS FIRE 🔥🔥🔥
I decided to reread ACOTAR before reading ACOMAF (I just can't stop myself from reading them the month they're released so I needed to refresh) and the gradual character development was perfect! And along the way, as the things become known, it created such a stronger relationship between reader and characters! I love this book so much! I can't even describe!
Was it good? I wanna get the book so I can read it for myself
Very!
Good would be an understatement
It was the best decision I could ever make to start the entire series last week and eat it.
Even people that weren't really into the first book loved the second one. :) So yes, very good.
At first I didn't enjoy the shift regarding Tamlin as well, but as I continued to read I realized that it was an interesting plot device and I enjoyed the fact that Feyre didn't blame Tamlin but she saw it was the fact that she had changed and by the end Rhys was hands down one of my favorite characters -- also I definitely agree that Sarah treated PTSD as a legitimate life altering issue
I honestly read a court of mist and fury in 2 days it was so much better than the first one and I loved it so much! I loved the ending but I really hated the ending at the same time like I feel like it ended kinda abruptly but at the same time it ended so good because it ended with Rhys talking about how Fayre was gonna take down the spring court and I was just like yessss girl you tear down Tamlins court for being such a little you know what to you. I can't wait for the third book to come out and I'm honestly okay with it being like 1000 pages long because they have a lot of messes to clean up and everything but I honestly can't wait!!!!!! So excited!
SPOLIERS
i feel like with Tamlin was always like that but he was never presented with the scenario. But when he locked her away i was SO MAD, but i always love Rhys idk why but i loved him i knew he couldnt have helped her so much for no reason. i loved Feyres power she is such a strong character in both books. and i LOVE HER AND RHYS RELATIONSHIP EVERYTHING ABOUT IT EVERYTHING. but i CANNOT WAIT until she blows up tamlins whole court.
Watching this in 2021. I loved this review. 💛
I honestly like this book series more than Throne of Glass
Kena Marubu controversial but perhaps true. I haven't decided yet. I kept hoping that one of the characters from throne of glass would show up. Like a crossover lol
Thank you for this video! You just put all my feelings into words! I love ACOMAF and am not ready for this series to end, I will need lots of spin-offs about all the characters ❤
And your reaction to all the steamy scenes in the novel was hilarious but, if we are all being honest here, was very accurate.
Sarah really knows how to write powerful and emotional scenes that will engage her readers!
THIS BOOK DESTROYED ME I READ IT IN LESS THAN 3 DAYS. IT WAS EVERYTHING...Probably the best book i have EVER, EVER READ. Just the adventures and action...each page had a new action. A lot of books don't have that...this was so good. I felt some Team Avatar feels in this too with their little friend group.
When the king said maybe "they" could also find high lord mates I kept laughing cuz "behold the cauldron, the new eharmony! Find you're mate here!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sad that the spoiler-free portion of the video was a bit short, but understandable. Have the book, have not read it yet because I am saving it. I want to hold off as long as I can so I can savor the anticipation for as long as possible. So! Excited!
I finished it today. I took the book to the bathroom, read it during classes, during lunch, took it to the shower with me, on the bus, taxi, before bed, while eating breakfast. And I finished it right in the middle of class. And I LOVED IT, my favorite book too SO FAR. DAMN IT WAS GOOD. I'm so hooked, i want to read the third book immediately but we don't have English books stored in my country. This video made me say "YASS IKR" the whole time
I really loved this book too. While Tamlin's character change did seem a bit abrupt, I think he did show hints of that in ACOTAR, and his experiences Under the Mountain made it worse. I just adored Feyre's character development along with Rhy's. I personally wasn't a big fan of the steamy scenes though, I would've prefer if they had been left out. There were so many new amazing characters introduced in this book as well. I can't wait for the next one!
OMG.....I really wish I had pre-ordered this book, so that I could be ready for this video...
But, I have read it and I SO SO SO agree with you Sasha!!! I so wish we could fangirl over it together!!!
I agree with each and everything you said in this review....Totallyyyyy totallyyyy agree...
Tamlin is an idiot
Rhys is bae
Feyre is bawse...
I want the third book.
Anyone else agree with me??
I loved this review, because Sasha said everything I felt about the book... It's amazing... Sarah did a GREAT JOB!!!!!!
I love love love Rhys!!! And I hate hate hate Tamlin!
I actually like Lucien a lot and I wanna find out more about his character 😄. Especially now that he found a new mate!! And i'm so curious to see how Feyre's sister are going to be after the transformation
I JUST FINISHED IT AND I CANNOT DEAL. This is definitely one of my favorite books ever and I plan to start rereading it immediately! UGH RHYS AND FEYRE
BUT RHYYYYYS. (I want my own Rhys...) I love the inner circle.
Chapter 55 is phenomenal tbh. Chapter 54 was so important tho, hearing everything from Rhys' perspective.
I can literally talk about this book for days, I'm still way too hyped from it.
btw, you slay me with that look. Love iiit.
I am reading this so slow haha I'm loving it! I'll come back once I finish it!!
I picture Rhys as Ian Somerhalder.
i thought it was just me lol
Gaaah...I don't....not even close. I can't even create an image for him, but as much as I love Ian, I see Rhys as looking younger.
YES OMG YES
I LOVE Ian but I picture Rhys as someone younger. More like Douglas Booth :)
Venice Somerhalder I can't picture Rhys as anyone, but Douglas is better than Ian but not perfect.
I was nodding along the entire time this book is AMAZINg, I agree wholeheartedly! So many people think the characters are OOC but there's been a lot of character development and personality reveals! I loved it. and I love your makeup!!
Glad I'm not the only one that things Daddario would be PERFECT for this role!
YES! You literally just said everything I was thinking about this book. What did you think of her sisters going into the cauldron and nesra pointing? It gave me chills x
Yes it did !!! It makes the ending so much more interesting !! I don't know how they'd react and who they'd adapt as immortals (and why did Rhys' squad dropped them in somewhere "safe"?)
Dazzling Books It really does! I never thought they'd actually go in.
yeah, now I just really want to read the next book..
Dazzling Books saaaaaame
Yaa, i thought she was gonna summon some power, acquired while changing to Fae, she has a really strong mental power, i want see if Nestas' really got some power in the next book, and a few scene of Nesta and feyre together fighting war and also Nessian!! OOHHHMYGAAWWWD!! So Excited for the next!!
I love this review. This has to be the best book I have read in the last three years. Like I couldn't put it down. I was an emotional wreak and Rhys was my favorite in book one so I am so glad he was in this book so much.
also I'd be okay if the next book were like a million pages. Like that would be totally okay!
I'm curious about what'll happen about Tamlin advancing on Feyre too.
but OH MY GOSH when I read that the mating bond had been broken, I was so ticked off and in shock and disbelief that I couldn't read it for a while. I had to force myself to finish it and the wave of relief when I read the end was like holy crap Maas you're a freaking genius! I think she rivals Cassandra Clare with her plot twists cause holy dang I did not see that coming.
Omg yes to all of this!
Also I totally pictured Matthew Dadarrio as Rhysand too!
the Summer Court was literally paradise. Hopefully we'll go back there 😍
it's really fucking impressive when the 2nd book in a trilogy is better than the first
Are we not gonna talk about the fact that Elain is Lucien's mate?!?!
Aarthi Krishnan honestly! In that moment I was upset that Sarah j mass written this book in first person. Cuz I really wanted to know what went through their mind. I also wanted to know about Nesta and Casseis. I spelled there name wrong. Lol
I just noticed. Your bookshelves are gorgeous.
And the book was great! I couldn't put it down!
Now officially my number one favorite book. Sorry Clockwork princess.
I honestly was thinking all of these things I couldn't have said it better I finished the book yesterday and was waiting for you to do a review. My dad was like why are you crying and I'd be like this book is killing me.
Just wanted to comment and say that I LOVED A Court of Mist and Fury! I think you did such a lovely job summing up all of the great things about it 😁
Great video! I loved this sequel more then the first book, and I thought that I really loved ACOTAR when I first read it. Did you know that there will actually be 6 books in the series now instead of 3, as well as 2 novellas? I'm so happy!!
You should make a list of books similar to this series! I certainly would love it
My boyfriend just bought me all of SJM's books and I started with ACOTAR and I'm loving it so far! Can't wait to get into ACOMAF! :)
This book was amazing. I loved it so much that Rhys made feyre his High Lady. He knew how badly feyre didn't want to be weak and in control of her own life. They will rule together and I think that's awesome. Also, Amren and Mor's reaction's when they found out made my entire life.
If I have to wait a year to know what comes next, the book better be 1,000 pages at least. I love this book so much!
I totally fell in love with Rhys! This book was just fantastic!
I took my time reading this book because 1- I'm a mum of 2 and my only spare time is bed time haha and 2- I didn't want it to end, It was bloody amazing. I loved ACOTAR so much, I didn't expect ACOMAF to be 10x better which was a pleasant surprise. Can not wait for the next book!!
