    About this audiobook

    The epic series from #1 bestselling global phenomenon author Sarah J. Maas continues with a stunning story of love, war, and revenge.

    Feyre has returned to the Spring Court, determined to gather information on Tamlin’s actions and learn what she can about the invading king threatening to bring her land to its knees. But to do so she must play a deadly game of deceit.

    One slip could bring doom not only for Feyre but for everything—and everyone she holds dear.

    As war bears down upon them all, Feyre endeavors to take her place as one of the High Fae of the land, balancing her struggle to master her powers—both magical and political—and her love for her court and family. Amidst these struggles, Feyre and Rhysand must
    decide whom to trust among the cunning and lethal High Lords, and hunt for allies in unexpected places.

    In this thrilling third book in the Court of Thorns and Roses series, the fate of Feyre’s world is at stake as armies grapple for power over the one thing that could destroy it.

      It was good, but by 3/4 of the way through, I was kept thinking, "okay, this is a long winded book." Also, a different narrator. I prefer the first narrator more, however, I do like Amanda. She does a great job.

      Oh man I absolutely LOVE this series so much, but the narrator change is unbearable for this book. I finally had to put it down and just order the hard copy off Amazon. The first narrator for book 1 and 2 was amazing, but Feyre’s character completely shifted with the new narrator because of the way she puts so much inflection on different words and phrases. The new narrator makes Feyre seem ditzy and dramatic, and not at all like the fearless, driven girl from the first two books. The writing is phenomenal though so it’s worth just buying the paperback!

      Maaaaan. This series has me in a chokehold yall. I can't get enough. A Court Of Mist and Fury is still my favorite, but this one was GOOD. When that once scene happened, you know the one..I WAS BAWLING while cooking supper. MAAAAAN.

    • 5/5
      Did not like the new narrator to the point that it took me months to get through the snarky and vindictive beginning portion of the book. Once I got past the whiny voice, then I blew through the book! The last half of this book was stellar!
    • 4/5
      It's good, but the ending was a little too drawn out for my tastes. It seemed like it had about 5 more twists and surprise endings than I expected (or wanted).
    • 5/5
      i loved it even though it was silly - too silly at times.
    • 2/5
      Loved book 1. Took a little longer to enjoy book 2. I can’t get past the stupid, stupid, stupid wall over this 3rd book. God that’s all they talk about and some dirty comments between Fayra and Rhysand. It was so repetitive that I had to DNF it. Even after jumping a couple of chapters ahead to see if something exciting was going to happen. There is so much SA regarding every person Rhysand has saved. Makes me mad. How many times is that topic going to be brought up? At how horrible those “women” were treated. This book honestly makes me mad. Can’t get over how repetitive and boring it has been. The more I think about it the more I hate it.
    • 2/5
      Das Buch ist gut gelesen aber der Ablauf der Schlacht und einige der Entscheidungen fand ich etwas zu kitschig und Strategielos. Außerdem mag ich diese ewigen Superdramen mit Charakter ist Tod und Huch Überraschung doch wieder am Leben mit hokus pokus nicht. Bis dahin waren die Bücher toll aber dieses war nicht so toll. Schade

      Best book Fantasy Book series I have read/listened to since Harry Potter which is saying something because Harry Potter is my favorite book series ever… I’m left in complete awe of how the characters become rounded and if the author wants you to like someone you do and if she doesn’t then you don’t.

    • 5/5
      Fabulous end to the series!! At first, the new narrator was jarring (I especially missed how the first one did Rhysand’s sultry voice) but it’s not too bad after a while I got used to the change and just focused on the story. I binged this ACOTAR series, listening to all 3 books back to back and despite the narration change for me each story kept getting better and better. This is some of the best fantasy, romance and action writing I have ever read. The first book in the series was a bit slow, it had more of an old school fairy tale vibe as it was a loose retelling of Beauty and the Beast. The second and third books were stellar. I fell in love with Rhys and his inner circle and was quite happy to see characters from book one like Lucien, Nesta and Elain play a role in this story. The final battles were epic. It was amazing the character growth that Feyre went through over the series. I enjoyed most of the new characters and juicy drama between the Fae courts. For me each book in this series was slightly better than the last. A really stellar epic fantasy series.
    • 5/5
      I just couldn’t stop! I love this book. This series!
    • 3/5
      Elements of it were good. I did find the overuse of the work 'smirk' annoying. It made the heroes of the story seem smug and petty. And it was used a lot!
      And I also found it annoying that the romance element always began with the couple hating each other. I don't think this is a good message to send to young people. I'm presuming the book is aimed at young adults about age 15 as that is how it read.
      But elements were good and I listened to most of it.
    • 5/5
      I can't believe how much I've enjoyed this series even after being so against it at the beginning. I devoured this book!
