It’s the final battle! We’re wrapping up our recap of A Court of Wings and Ruin (ACOWAR) by Sarah J. Maas in this dramatic, war-focused second part.

War has arrived in Prythian, the wall is down, and the Inner Circle is struggling to unite the High Lords against Hybern. We discuss all the most pivotal, heart-stopping moments:

• Feyre's controversial sacrificial moves
• Tamlin’s unexpected return as a hero
• Mor’s quiet, powerful moment revealing her deepest secret
• Papa Archeron's shocking, tear-jerking sacrifice 
• Elain's first and potentially final strike 
• Amren’s explosive transformation and the price of her freedom
• Rhysand’s shocking end that had our jaws on the floor

We also debate our official character rankings and dive deep into fan theories about Nesta's power, a potential Throne of Glass crossover, and what’s next for Azriel and the Archeron sisters in ACOTAR 6.

It’s the ultimate Type-B reader debrief—equal parts recap, chaos, and book-best-friend therapy.
