Megan and Natalie are so hyped about this section of AOCWAR. Feyre is beyond epic! Cassian and Azriel are just *chefs kiss* Everything, everything! Like we think this section of AOCWAR might be better than chapter 55 (this might only be Natalie's opinion) As war bears down upon them all, Feyre endeavors to take her place amongst the High Fae of the land, balancing her struggle to master her powers-both magical and political-and her love for her court and family. Amidst these struggles, Feyre and Rhysand must decide whom to trust amongst the cunning and lethal High Lords, and hunt for allies in unexpected places.
