I promised myself I would read more books this year and spend less time on my phone. I saw one of my friends was reading this book series so I decided to give it a try. I have absolutely fallen in love with this book series, it’s incredible. I feel like it brings your imagination back to life and you fall into a magical world every time you open the pages. The story line is easy to follow and keeps you wanting more and more. It’s a mix of fantasy, sex, war and extremely well thought out characters that either make you fall in love with them or hate them immensely. I have never loved a series of books like this probably ever. Fall into this beautiful world and buy the books, your imagination like thank you

If you like spicy romance novels and you like high fantasy novels, you will like this series. It is an adult series for adult themes and adult scenes, not just spice, but also gore/war/torture, and that is important to note. This series has its own magic system and mythologies, and is connected to other universes of the author including Crescent City and Throne of Glass but can be read on its own. I think it is a really good series.
SPOILERS (not heavy spoilers but will talk about things which happen in the book in a general sense) for conversation about feminism/fascism/mental illness.
Many people want a high fantasy series which is feminist in nature and the male love interests are feminist, this is not that kind of book. It definitely has feminist undertones and female empowerment undertones, it is written by a female author which historically high-fantasy books in a female lens have been shunned so I prefer to support female authors, but the love interest does many things which are not feminist.
The male love interest in this book drugs her and dances inappropriately with her, and then claims there was no other way to make the villain think he didn’t care about the protagonist and put her in danger. That is pretty unbelievable, there are a million other options that do not include drugging someone in that situation.
The male love interest “rescues” the protagonist and brings her to a place which only his friends and family, for hundreds of years of relational ties, are. This technically is a social isolation happening. This is apparent when 5 books later the love interest is not only still lying to the protagonist, but getting all the friends and family to lie for him about something that directly and drastically affects her life. She technically is supposed to be the same level of power that he is, but it is very clear that was a stunt to show symbolically how much he cared for her. Because if she truly had the same power as him then the friends and family would not have lied like that, the same way they would not have lied to him. The other thing about that is she was raised to her status without any well learned political or historical education of the people she is ruling, giving the male love interest good reason to be able to over-ride anything she put into place, and not giving her enough knowledge to truly do her job. What also goes along with this is that all education on those political historical topics will have to come through him or people whom he is employing/has these strong ties with.
There is a race of people which the love interest rules over who are physically and sexually abusing females, and neglecting/abusing their male children to be warriors. The love interest claims to have put laws into place to prevent this, however, he does not enforce them. Similar to how he symbolically gave the protagonist a position of power, he seemed to have symbolically put a feminist law into place but then not follow through. It is claimed the abuse they are facing is culture, and to give the males more time to change, which is obviously untrue and harmful. “He will change” rhetoric harms women often. I think the way the fantasy race and issue of female violence was written was realistic, but I also think that realism is disturbing because of his unwillingness to be harsher in punishment towards males who are literally physically altering these females. It also is somewhat insinuated there is fascism going on because of his obsession with keeping one “good” city safe, and his distaste for the sexist race of warriors and the other city – which he oversees and is in charge of. It is almost like he believes their lives lost causes and something to be used to protect his favorite city and people, which is obviously harmful to the people who do not live in his favorite city because their ruler has abandoned them to harm in belief of culture.
Again, this is a fantasy book, I do not believe this to reflect the authors beliefs on feminism or humanitarian efforts, but if you personally are looking for a high-fantasy book with a feminist love interest, this is probably not the one.
Lastly, the last book has a topic of mental illness- specifically substance use issues. This book was so difficult to read as a researcher in psychology because of the abuse the protagonist faced and how she got better despite, in real life, this person would likely be far worse off. What I mean by this is the protagonist was unliked due to a disability she had in childhood, inadaptibility which is something that happens in children groomed to be married off (groomed meaning taught to be something very specific, particularly in a way of being sold to the highest bidder and marrying a wealthy male). Her sister took her meaning for life by marrying someone powerful and rich without any of the efforts and grooming which the protagonist faced in childhood, so all her trauma no longer had meaning and she no longer felt any reason to be alive. After this she developed an addiction to alcohol and began sexual risk taking behaviors. What her family did was ridicule and shame her but also enable her with money. Shame results in a cycle of wanting pleasure, so doing this was worsening her behavior. After the family got fed up with her wasting money, instead of setting boundaries and no longer buying alcohol, they threatened her life, took away her autonomy, verbally and emotionally abused her, isolated her, and then the person in charge of helping her developed a sexual relationship with her (which is supposed to be romantic but when she already struggled with risky sexual behaviors, this was taking advantage of her). On top it, a scene occurs where she essentially is noted as suicidal, and instead of helping her he continues to be short, rude, and mean to her and forced her to hike (???). And this was because she pointed out a lie which the whole family was keeping from her sister by her love interest, so the protagonist of this book was being punished for giving information which her sister had a right to know. It is just so incredibly hard to read.
Of course, these people do not have psychology or mental wellness, however, I think the part I take most issue with is the unrealistic fact she gets better. Because this is a popular series I would also be concerned with people taking the idea that this sort of behavior towards someone mentally ill is romantic or okay in any way shape or form. This is fantasy, most people know that, but I feel compelled to state it anyway.
Overall:
I do like the books, I like the writing style, I even do not mind many of the character flaws and the big issues I mentioned occurring, it adds to moral/ethical calamity and makes you question who is the real villain or hero. But, I have seen people stating that this is a more feminist style high fantasy romance and I just wanted to point all the reasons I do not believe that to be the case.

Book 1- definitely pulls you in. A few spicy scenes!
Book 2- turns everything upside down from what you thought you know and who you thought was good or bad. More spicy scenes!
Book 3- gripping, fast paced, intense, plot twists. War. Great book!! Possibly the climactic peak of the series.
Book 4- angsty. Leaves you wanting more. Still a great read.
Book 5- a TON of spicy scenes and mostly from Nesta’s POV.
My only complaint – Morrigan doesn’t have a lot of time in books 4 and 5. We do get to see some of her memories of when her male family beat her and left her for dead at the border of Eris’. We do find out she has a life carved out for self outside of the Night Courts circle

First off, the bundle is great as it is cheaper to purchase this way. If you’re trying to get back into reading this is a great choice! It is Romantasy (Romance/Fantasy). It is a great blend of both. The writing is excellent, the way the author lines up the events with the overarching plot is clever and fun. The first book is slow moving but that’s due to it focusing on world building and getting to know the main character. The book speeds up at the end and gets intense which leaves you primed up for book 2. By far book 2 and 5 are my favorites. As you read book 2, you discover so much more about the world and are just as in awe as the main character. Book 3 is really intense including a war and mostly focused on character development and learning about other courts which was interesting. Book 4 is what Booktok calls the “Christmas Special”. It’s honestly a gem. It focuses on their version of Christmas which is Winter Solstice. It’s the shortest in the series and what makes it a gem is that you get to see the characters happy for a bit. I know when I watch tv shows or read books, when there’s a lot of mayhem all the time, I’m always craving a little happiness or stillness to see the characters living normally and not focused on the next problem, so I am grateful book 4 exists. As I mentioned before the author is great at planting events or tid bits of information into the storyline that will be used later. As the characters are happy in book 4, the author sets up the next book with bits of information that sparks curiosity about a certain character. When you get to book 5, you are hooked and curious to find out what’s been going on with said character and get to explore that character a lot more.
Well there you it! I tried to not be too specific or give any spoilers! I hope you’ll read this series! It’s worth it!

**SPOILER
ACOTAR
This was my first fantasy romance series, and OMG I’m hooked. Was I confused the entire time, yes, but that didn’t stop me from eating this up bc everything made sense at the end.
I don’t like the Beauty and Beast trope, but those last 100 pages were incredible.
Tamlin wearing a mask, I got the ick.
I couldn’t solve the riddle either, don’t worry Feyre.
ACOMAF
I laughed, I cried. I was mad, then happy. WOW
ACOMAF came and just flipped my whole world around. I was up till 5am reading.
Feyre changed bc of what she went through under the mountain, but so did Tamlin, and because they are both struggling with their own separate traumas neither can communicate what they need from each other. The relationship became unhealthy and no longer compatible.
There was a ton of additional world building and character introductions that I was just not prepared for. Feyre’s character development, incredible. Rhys brings out the best in Feyre, always treating her as an equal with autonomy and her own choices. Rhys has that dark edge, charm, wit and humour, but you also get to see his vulnerabilities, his huge capacity to love and found family of the Inner Circle.
Also I love how SJM writes every character as the most beautiful.
Despite a seemingly ‘happily ever after ending,’ the horrors of the end !!! The cliff hanger is making me need to read the third book ASAP.
ACOWAR
I loveddddd the politics in this one! I’m so obsessed with this series. I was loaning the books out from the Library and after reading this buckled down bought the entire series knowing I was going to be re-reading this. There were so many tiny small details from ACOTAR that come back in ACOWAR.
The last 100 pages are like being in a tornado of emotions – sad, happy, joy, anger, understanding, forgiveness, hope etc
TBH, I kinda wish someone actually died in the battle :/ but SJM loves a ‘happily ever after’ ending after all.
ACOFAS
I read this novella in 1 sitting. She’s small, but she throws punches! I really liked the domestic story and all the POVs. But they say “mate” 20 million times.
I’m patiently waiting for the next part of the series: Nesta, Elain, Lucien, Cassian and Azriel.
I really hope that Nesta and Elaine’s mates are not Cassian and Azriel tho. That would be too cliche if the 3 sisters were mated to the 3 Night Court warriors. SJM needs her happy ending.
The sneak peak at the next book is, chefs kiss :* but seriously ofc Nesta and Cassian get together.
ACOSF
There are drugs in this, and I couldn’t stop reading all 750 pages.
I had to put this book down so many time and just stay silent with my thoughts.
Cassian’s passion to train the women to fight back against anyone who attempt to hurt them like they had his mother, and Nesta still feeling nothing after having been Made against her will… woah it broke my heart.
Nesta character development INCREDIBLE. She constantly was taking steps forward, but back tracking. The friendship with the House, yes. Building her found family of Gwen and Emrie, amazing. Her internal battle for her own self-worth is heartbreaking and inspiring all at once.
I kinda hate how Rhys didn’t tell Feyre about the pregnancy scare and health risks… like this dude for 3 books (plus 1 novella) always gave Feyre autonomy and choices of what to do, and he took that away from her. It’s a no from me.

The writing and plots are not terribly complex but the characters are well developed and the story is engaging. Each book is entertaining and enjoyable as it furthers the story. Recommend
