this was an absolute disaster.
there was no real plot, no actual romance (just pure smut), and nothing of substance happened until the last 50 pages, and even that was resolved <u>way too easily</u>, but who’s surprised, anyway. no one <u>ever</u> dies in this series, even the side characters.
while, i love Nesta and she’s my favorite character, <u>by far</u>, this just wasn’t what i wanted nor expected from her book. it wasn’t focused on her healing at all, and instead it was focused on her and Cassian fucking 24/7 and never actually having a real, normal conversation.
how was Nesta supposed to heal and deal with her trauma when the IC is constantly insulting her, trying to send her away, forcing her to train against her will, and on top of that her <u>mate</u> takes her on a hike in the mountains when she’s on the verge of being <u>suicidal</u>. like i’m sorry but what??
i am a smut hater till the day i die. one scene is enough. however, i know most people love smut, but the amount in this book was absolutely unnecessary as they were fucking literally <u>every chapter</u> (and i skipped it all).
on the other hand, the best part of the book was her relationship with Emerie and Gwyn. their friendship is so pure and full of understanding, i <u>love</u> them so much and they’re <u>by far</u> my favorite friendship in the entirety of the SJM universe.
just to mention, because i can’t not: i already hated Rhysand before this book, but now... i have no words.
how are the girlies still calling him a <u>feminist king</u> after what he did here?
overall, i’d love to give this 5 stars, because Nesta deserve it, but this book has <u>so many</u> problems (some of which i won’t mention in order to keep this spoiler free) that i just simply can’t.
