Emotional damage, STEAM, nightmares, and an invisible bond... ACOMAF started with quite the kick to the gut.  

Feyra has been through so much and she needs comfort and support around her.  She doesn't seem to be getting that from the spring court - where she now finds her self.  How will she ever overcome the trauma she experienced under the mountain.  Can there be anyone who understands that kind of trauma?  

What if what we thought was love was actually our brain's way of telling we didn't want to be alone?  Not our heart but our brain?  Could we be able to figure that out before too long?  I was hopeful in ACOTAR that Feyra would discover her happily ever after with Tamlin - however now reading into ACOMAF, I have not wanted another high powered male to die since King Joffery in GOT. 

I am very excited to see how Feyra's story will continue.  Will she be able to hold that bond with her one true mate?  Or will she be torn apart piece by piece?  

"Truth is deadly. Truth is freedom.  Truth can break and mend and bind." 

"Did you enjoy the sight of me kneeling before you?"  

"Life is better when you're around.  And look at how lovely your handwriting is."  

"That I will bow before no one and nothing by my crown." 

"Males are horrible creatures, aren't they?" 

"I was a dreamer born into the Court of Nightmares... So I got out." 

"The quickest way to a man's heart is through the fourth and fifth ribs."
