Story
Twelve-year-old Elissa has been raised in seclusion as a devotee of the Mother Goddess. She is a special child, a blessed child, a child who can sing miracles into being. Her voice can heal wounds, halt landslides, cure hunger—and even end wars. But there are those who would use her gift for darker things. And when Elissa finds herself the farthest from home she’s ever been—along with her vain and jealous music tutor, Lucio—she will have to develop the judgment to decide who wants to use her song to heal...and who wants to use her song to hurt.

I enjoyed every single word and didn't want it to end. If it were a song, I'd give this book a standing ovation.

I loved FTT equally (if not more!) than FTW. They make the perfect duology.

Nesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud, swift to anger, and slow to forgive. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will, she's struggled to find a place for herself within the strange, deadly world she inhabits. Against the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance - and healing - in each other's arms.

I delayed reading ACOSF because I actively disliked Nesta and I wasn't sure how I'd feel about an ACOTAR book that wasn't in Feyre's POV. However, it blew me away and not only have I come to adore Nesta (shout out to the amazing female friendships portrayed in this story), but I would say this is my second favourite book in the series, pipped to the post by ACOMAF. The voice actor was perfect.

Story
The Hollow sisters—Vivi, Grey and Iris—are as seductively glamorous as they are mysterious. They have black eyes and hair as white as milk. The Hollow sisters don't have friends—they don't need them. They move through the corridors like sharks, the other little fish parting around them, whispering behind their backs. And everyone knows who the Hollow sisters are. Because one day the three Hollow sisters simply disappeared. And when they came back, one month later, with no memory of where they had been, it was as if nothing had changed.

Equal parts gruesome and glamorous, this opulent, intriguing mystery will leave you hungry for more until the final bite. I actually guessed a couple of twists/reveals but I adored the story, characters and writing so much so, that I wanted to give it five stars anyway. The narrator was perfect.
