I liked it a lot, even though I sometimes thought, that nothin I finally finally finished ACOWAR, it took me way to long, but I didn't want "the big battle" to begin, so I just didn't read for a good few weeks, BUT now my non-spoiler review is here :)
I liked it a lot, even though I sometimes thought, that nothing really happened. The characters were *chef's kiss* and the Dialoges too. I really love Cassian and Azriel, they're just so good and easy to love. Also very cool to get to know every High Lord and have them all come together and connect with another and the others from the court, I really loved that.
One thing I kinda mind is, that all of their plans work out. XD I don't mean it in a bad way, but I feel like when they make a plan and nothing really goes wrong, that "nothing happened". And I cannot not compare it to the ToG series, because there, plans almost never worked out and that was the really interesting part that kept you on edge. Here it was just a side quest, maybe.
All in all I really did enjoy reading it, mostly because of the characters interactions. I also love Mor and Armen.
So I'll give this book a 4/5⭐ :)

I have to start with the Battle. We didn't have one, we didn't have two, no we had THREE Lord of the Rings/Riders of Rohan entrances. Kinda. I did get goosebumps with each entrance of friend-army, don't get me wrong. I think one big one would have been alright though :D
I also wept like a baby with every goodbye they said, especially with Cas and Nesta and Rhys when he died for a good minute. It was all very emotional, I really felt for them, because I love these characters a lot.
And even though I'm glad no one of importants died (yes, of course the father was kinda important, but he was such a side character, you could forget about him), I still feel like a good story needs maybe one important death. NOT Rhys, I could not have lived with that, but Armen, even though I really liked her, could have been the one to vanish forever. I would have been okay with that.
Hm, so I think that's it for my thoughts about this book. :) ...more "

books.andthings’s Quotes

“What are you doing?”
“What?”
Emrys didn’t raise his voice as he said, “To that girl. What are you doing that makes her come in here with such emptiness in her eyes?”
“That’s none of your concern.”
Emrys pressed his lips into a tight line. “What do you see when you look at her, Prince?”
He didn’t know. These days, he didn’t know a damn thing. “That’s none of your concern, either.”
Emrys ran a hand over his weathered face. “I see her slipping away, bit by bit, because you shove her down when she so desperately needs someone to help her back up.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Heir of Fire
