MY REVIEW

"I would have waited five hundred more years for you. A thousand years. And if this was all the time we were allowed to have … The wait was worth it."
He wiped away the tears sliding down my face. “I believe that everything happened, exactly the way it had to … so I could find you.” He kissed another tear away.

How much I adore Rhysand and Feyre!

After the devastating events of the last book, "Wings and Ruin" start with the The High Lady of the Night Court at the Spring Court.

Feyre is back where she started and she is so good in pretending that Tamlin is completely clueless of her lies. But I could never accuse Feyre and I could not feel sorry for Tamlin. After his betrayal, he deserved it.

Of course not all people believe Feyre.

The most powerful High Lord in the world lost his mate, and has not yet come to claim her, even when she is defenseless in the woods.” Jurian chuckled. “Perhaps that’s because Rhysand has not lost you at all. But rather unleashed you upon us.”

When Feyre manages to escape, Lucien will follow. It is the only way to see again his destined mate. Feyre's sisters try to cope with the fact that they are fairies now. Elain has the most serious problems coping. Nesta and her attitude are doing just fine. I loved the development in the relationship between Nesta and Cassian. Nesta has developed in a very interesting side character.

When Rhysand and Feyre meet again, only the fireworks are missing! So much love and passion between these two!

But there is war about to happen. The Cauldron is still in the hands of Hybern and the Night Court only has a book to fight it. And the Book does not want to cooperate that much.

Amren had placed the Book of Breathings on her nightstand.
A glass of old blood atop it.
I didn’t know whether to laugh or cringe. The latter won out as the Book murmured, Hello, sweet-faced liar. Hello, princess with—
“Oh, be quiet,” Amren hissed toward the Book, who—shut up.

Amren is doing her best to reveal its secrets, but maybe she also has her on agenda. Well, in the end I totally understood the girl. She had no choice.

Night Court will look for allies, but unfortunately
1. Rhysand for his personal reasons had betrayed the other Courts before.
2. Feyre had betrayed the Spring Court before for obvious reasons. Her loyalty is with her mate.
3. Rhysand and Feyre had betrayed the Summer Court and now they are the most wanted there. Maybe not even the fact that they helped Tarquin’s court against the bulk of the Hybern force, will gain them his trust again
And the most important reason:
4. Not all the Courts are convinced that Hybern is the enemy.

"We are not facing an army hell-bent on destruction. They are hell-bent on what they believe is liberation. Of High Fae stifled by the wall, and what they believe still belongs to them."

The book ends with an awesome epic battle were everyone is involved:
1. The Courts
2. The humans
3. The Cauldron made sisters
4. The monsters (Bone Carver and his sister and the living nest of shadows that was Bryaxis)
5. Amren
6. The Cauldron
7. The Book

When the battle finishes, Rhysand will receive the ultimate gift by all the Courts.

I loved the book, but I feel that I need a book for Tamlin. Feyre was not the right girl for him. And he needs a girl that can tame the monster inside him. These three books are Rhysand and Feyre's love story, not Tamlin's story.

“Be happy, Feyre,” he said quietly.
