Feyre has given her heart to Rhys, but she has to return to the Spring Court and pretend that she resented her time with Rhys, so that Tamilin will confide in her.  Her goal while in the Spring Court is to gather intel on Tamlin and figure out who she and Rhys can trust to go against the horrible king who is gathering forces against all of Prythian.  As Feyre begins to take control of her life and fight for those she loves, her power becomes a moving force for the good of Prythian.  

I enjoy this fantasy world.  I like the characters and the world building and am always able to fall back into the story regardless of the time it’s been since I’ve read the book before in the series.  The content is very adult including on page sex and other descriptive sexual encounters.  The violence is gruesome, gory and sometimes disturbing.  It’s upsetting that this is marketed towards young adults.
