So.. the first part of ACOWAR carries the title “Princess of Carrion” (I know, nice title…).

Tbh the first thought/word that came to my mind was “Igitt! (eng. translation: Yuck!)”. My second thought was “Okay, Feyre what will you do to earn such a title?”

And you know what, Feyre was already once called Princess of Carrion from no one other than the Book of Breathings. Right before she put both of the book halves together in Hybern.

“Yes, you see now, princess of carrion- you see what you must do…” (Chapter 62, ACOMAF)

The book also called her, shortly before, sweet-tongued liar and lady of many faces.

I actually could be the case that the book can somehow predict the future (I mean it’s a very mighty spell book that can talk, so why not *shrugs*) and therefore she will earn this title in ACOWAR. The title is probably also connected to the two other titles, sweet-tongued liar & lady of many faces, and refers to the role that she will now have to play as a spy in the spring court.

It’s clear that she will not only play the saved damsel in the spring court but also a person, a weapon, who is willing to cooperate with the King of Hybern to take down the Wall and the Night Court. And that means that she also has to do something that is in favour of the King of Hyberns will. 

Carrion probably refers to the death that she might cause, the destruction and suffering. That what might be left after the war.
