I really liked this book,which I was a bit surprised about, as the main character in this is Nesta, who has consistently been a PITA the rest of the series. I love the found family feels in this, and the deeper exploration of friends that turn into family. The dive into the magic system in the one was great. We got to see just how varied powers can be in their world. The background info on the Archeron's life before their Father's original downfall was interesting, especially since it was presented as Feyre was too young to really remember the events shared. I love love love Nesta and Cassian's interactions, and while I am not the biggest fan of spicy scenes, there was enough plot around it for me to enjoy the book. The thematic arc of women taking back their power was just *chefs kiss*. I quite like Emerie, and would love to see more of her in future installments of the series hopefully. I also really appreciate the triumphant moments that the characters get. This was such a good book. I am glad my coworker Jordan got me to continue reading the series after the disappointment of the first book.

"So Nesta had become a wolf. Armed herself with invisible teeth and claws and learned to strike faster, deeper, more lethally. Had relished it. But when the time came to put away the wolf, she'd found it had devoured her, too."

Moría de ganas por leer este libro y aún no me creo que ya lo terminé, Nesta es mi personaje favorito y moría por ver cómo iba a ser su proceso de adaptación al mundo Fae.

Nesta es una persona rota y, a pesar de que sus amigos pensaban que dándole tiempo y espacio iba a ser de ayuda para su adaptación, ella necesitaba esa ayuda aunque no la quisiera. Una vez Feyre y los demás se dieron cuenta de lo lejos que fueron las acciones de Nesta, tomaron cartas en el asunto y la forzaron a recibir esa ayuda. A pesar de que al principio ponía las cosas complicadas para Cassian, poco a poco fue aceptando su situación y vamos viendo cómo esto le sirve para gestionar sus emociones. 

Si bien Nesta expresaba su enojo, conforme lo iba controlando íbamos conociendo más de ella, sus emociones, sus miedos, traumas y necesidades y porqué actuaba de esa forma. Pero también muestra mayor control sobre el poder que le robó al Cauldron y cómo esto iba a ser de ayuda para los conflictos que se estaban presentando para el reino Fae. Ese control que iba desarrollando gracias a los entrenamientos con Cassian, no sólo demostraron la fuerza de su poder, también la fuerza de su generosidad y su forma de amar a otros.
 
Hubieron muchas cosas que no esperaba en este libro y que quedaron perfecto con la personalidad de Nesta, sus nuevas amistades, acciones para ayudar a otros, el saber disculparse por el daño que había hecho y muchas muchas cosas más que no diré porque serían SPOILER.

NESSIAN!!!! Los extrañaba tanto, si bien Cassian es de gran apoyo para todo el proceso de curación de Nesta, conocimos un poquito más de él y su pasado, mostró a Nesta cosas que ella consideraba no merecía y le permitió sanar a su ritmo
 Tal vez al principio o de repente cometía errores, pero nunca hizo nada que impidiera a Nesta avanzar, y si daban un paso atrás, siempre encontraban la forma de dar dos adelante.

Me la pasé llorando, riendo y mordiendo mis uñas, me encantan estos personajes y sus historias, a pesar de que hubieron momentos en los que me hacían enojar, nunca los dejaría de querer, su lazo, su unión, lo que los hace una familia es lo que amo de estos libros. Muero por leer más de Gwyn y Emerie, las Valkirias y cómo está nueva guerra va a avanzar. Por supuesto también se me acaba la paciencia por leer sobre Elain, Lucien y Az, qué pasará con esa tensión que siempre se percibe ahí 😪😪

"The first time I saw that look on your face,you were still human. Still human, and I nearly went to my knees before you." [...] "Your power is a song, and one I've waited a very, very long time to hear, Nesta."

Feyre y Rhys having a child was so beautiful, but I hated the process of it, it was so hurtful and sad and i hated it, but i loved how it all ended 🥲
