While I do see why I loved this one the most the first time around, I did miss the structure of the first book. Just made for a lot of repetitive scenes. Some of her writing started to grate on me in this one, with her constantly making “vulgar gestures” way too often or calling him a “prick” as the only insult. I remember thinking I’d hate him heading into book two but he wooed me right away. Rhys was immediately captivating yet again. If I thought I enjoyed ACOTAR the first time around, I was certainly not prepared for ACOMAF – my favorite of these above. I definitely thought, upon rereading, I would hate Tamlin the whole time or see some inklings of what was really going on, but that didn’t happen too much. I loved Feyre and Tamlin and was fascinated by the trials Under the Mountain. Usually fantasy books take me forever, especially ones of this size! The magic and world-building was very accessible so I think that helped. I was a big fan of the first book and was surprised at how quickly I read it. However, when I saw a readalong planned that broke down when to start and finish each book, PLUS I found the audiobooks on Scribd… I figured I may as well! I wasn’t planning on rereading the ACOTAR series ahead of the new release – I planned to read a recap somewhere for each book and just dive right in. Spoilers for the books pictured above only, not ACOSF.
