It was a little too long but I liked it better than Throne of Glass.

Plot- or character-driven? A mix
Strong character development? It's complicated
Loveable characters? It's complicated
Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

I love the concept but it was getting confusing during the end and just leaving a lot of loose ends and unanswered questions. I’m never of fan of the misplaced guilt and martyrdom, it’s my book pet peeve so I was turned off when it veered in that direction. I enjoyed the relationship with Taly and Skye and how sweet he was with her. I was also frustrated at her belief that he was going to reject her, or that he was disgusted by her?? Really?? After being best friends for 15 years? It just felt very out of character.

Miscommunication, slowest pace ever, +/-250 pages too long, MCs mostly making the stupid choice whenever possible, and some very problematic aspects (getting someone drunk for private info; did they grew up as siblings? I need to know! If yes, ICK!).

In its defence, it is a very bingible read, and many people really loved this book. Also, it is a debut, I believe, so that is a mitigating factor.
