Goodready Summary
Feyre survived Amarantha's clutches to return to the Spring Court—but at a steep cost. Though she now has the powers of the High Fae, her heart remains human, and it can't forget the terrible deeds she performed to save Tamlin's people.

Nor has Feyre forgotten her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court. As Feyre navigates its dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a greater evil looms—and she might be key to stopping it. But only if she can harness her harrowing gifts, heal her fractured soul, and decide how she wishes to shape her future—and the future of a world cleaved in two.

With more than a million copies sold of her beloved Throne of Glass series, Sarah J. Maas's masterful storytelling brings this second book in her seductive and action-packed series to new heights.

My Review

“To the stars who listen and the dreams that are answered”

This book seems like a gift from the stars to me and to this world to give them happiness and grief. I have no words to describe this absolutely stunning and epic prequel of A Court Of Thorns and Roses

There are just way too many feels even now that I am writing a review for it after nearly a month (though I kept on re-reading maaaany parts from the book)

I still don’t know where to start because what I loved about this book is practically EVERYTHING!!

In case you didn’t like A court of thorns and roses and are hesitant to pick it up, let me just tell you- YOU’RE WRONG! YOU’LL REGRET THESE THOUGHTS ONCE YOU READ THIS MASTERPIECE AND YOU’LL BE THANKFUL TO THE STARS WHO MADE YOU READ THIS BOOK!

This book is everything ACOTAR was not and more. I couldn’t stop smiling while reading it and it is one of the most entertaining books I’ve ever read and also one of my favorites for 2017.

It has some mature content but if you have already read ACOTAR then what are you waiting for?!!

Feyre reaches a whole new level of awesome and badassry in this one and you might start hating some characters too that you loved in ACOTAR and vice versa. Very much. Thanks to Sarah j. Maas.

I loved Rhys. Honestly, who can’t love him?! Everyone needs a Rhysand in their lives and the full form of ACOWAR could just as well have been ‘A court of wanting a Rhysand’.

He is beauty. He is grace. He is RHYS!

"I will bow before no one and nothing but my crown"

I can talk about him all the time and as much as I want him, I don’t because He would better be with Feyre, after all he has done.

“And I wondered if love was too weak a word for what he felt, what he’d done for me. For what I felt for him.”

Feysand is my Ship and this girl ain’t gonna leave it even if it starts to drown! Their sarcastic flirting just makes my life seems whole.

There are many new characters in this book as well and you can’t help but fall in love with them until the ending breaks your heart in two and you are left staring at the wall, with tears, unable and refusing to accept whatever just happened.

In the end, I was just wishing for the stars to listen and answer my dreams and I hope A court of wings and ruins stands to my expectations!

Goodready Summary
In this fable, the first man on earth to count the hours becomes Father Time. 

The inventor of the world's first clock is punished for trying to measure God's greatest gift. He is banished to a cave for centuries and forced to listen to the voices of all who come after him seeking more days, more years. Eventually, with his soul nearly broken, Father Time is granted his freedom, along with a magical hourglass and a mission: a chance to redeem himself by teaching two earthly people the true meaning of time.

He returns to our world - now dominated by the hour-counting he so innocently began - and commences a journey with two unlikely partners: one a teenage girl who is about to give up on life, the other a wealthy old businessman who wants to live forever. To save himself, he must save them both. And stop the world to do so.

My Review

In the beginning things didn't make much sense to me but as I continued reading they started to and the story gets woven so skillfully that its one of my favorites now. It is a short book and you flip through the pages so fast that you won't even know when you reach the end. 

The writing style of Mitch Albom always catches my fascination. I've also read ‘the 5 people you meet in heaven’ and fell in love with the book. If someone asks me about that book only one word comes to mind to describe it and that is- beautiful. It was beautiful in a way beyond words. I feel the same about this book too. It is one of those books which you close and it makes you wonder, it made me wonder about time, misery, how we all are unsatisfied and the dread for more.

The sentences are short and the language is very easy. The ending notes of each chapter and the small sentences in bold just added to the beauty of this piece of art.

This book makes you wonder what I is you are doing with your life. It is not a philosophical story though. The characters are based in our world only and we have an interaction with three people.

One who is as old as time- Father Time himself

An ordinary, what now-a-days will be called, an average girl, wanting to end her life

A powerful and rich businessman dreaming about another lifetime

Normally these three wouldn't have met at all in their lives if it wasn't for one thing that connected them in the most strange ways- Time.

I would recommend this magical tale to everyone without any exception of age or taste in reading. This book will be appealing to all and can change at least something in those who read it, forever.
