After A Court of Mist and Fury, the story picks up with Feyre back in the Spring Court acting as a clandestine spy in Tamlin’s realm in preparation for the impending conflict with Hybern. Feyre, Rhysand, and the other Night Court members will need to discover a means to assemble as many allies as possible if Prythian is to have a chance at all against Hybern. Will the High Lords be able to put aside their differences and work together?
In this book, Feyre and Rhysand were just “sickeningly” in love, and Rhysand was “too perfect.” All the mystery and edge that were so present in the first book and were still present in the second despite understanding his character better have been completely lost, and his place has been taken by a “puppyish” character who is just bland and boring (oh and once again we keep being told he is the most powerful high Lord in history, but not once did I get a display of that power). Other elements, like Mor’s bisexuality, appeared contrived.
Due to the fact that he is not with Feyre and he is unsure of when she will return, Rhysand is undoubtedly going through hell. Feyre’s attempt to reconnect with him makes things rather worse. Their friendship remains unspoken throughout the journey.
