It's no secret I hate Rhys and reading from Feyre's perspective, so this book was so refreshing in that I could almost forget they existed. Almost.
Two big things I didn't like: Feyre's pregnancy and the fact that Nesta sacrificed her power because of it.
I love that we see Nesta coming to terms with the truth that she doesn't wanna be a cruel, ruthless queen. I even love that she makes sacrifices for family members who didn't see what she was going through- I think it really brought her story full circle. However, I hate that there was no other way for Feyre to have survived the pregnancy. For a world in which magic is abundant, you'd think they'd have figured out how to perform a C-section correctly.
It gets an extra half star over the other books literally only because Spicy Cassian and I didn't have to read Feyre saying "my mate" over two hundred times.

This book resonated with me on an even deeper level than the others had and I cannot even express how thankful I am to have read it. It has inspired to take better care of myself, exercise, and practice mindfulness, all things that are difficult because of my anxiety. I am thankful to have found a character like Nesta, who despite her own struggles,
If you don’t like books that graphically talk about sex, this book is not for you (but I doubt you even got to this point because the first ACOTAR books had it too). This book was the most graphic when it came to sex, and the most abundant. I loved how female sexuality was handled.

For a book that's not about Feyre and Rhys they sure get mentioned a lot. They decided what's best for Nesta, how she'll get better. Hmm that really reminds me of a certain someone who we despised for exactly the same reason. Someone who locked Feyre in the house where she can't escape, like how they put Nesta in House of Wind where her only way out is down thousands and thousands of steps.
Pacing is horrible. It explains everything in excruciating detail for two weeks and then bam - time jump 4 months followed by short recap what they did in those 4 months. How they trained, where and how many times they've fucked. If I don't get description of that scene, I don't care that it happened.
Whole fourth part could be a book on its own. This way it felt rushed. If someone stopped and looked around first, they would get in so much less trouble. And I fully expected a magical rabbit with wings to fly down and rescue them at some point. If everyone and everything else can save them already, why not that?
They sat on a tree, for three hours and shared their deepest darkest trauma... And it just felt like a long recap of everything we knew already.
I'm glad that Nesta needed some time to get over her trauma and wasn't just magically healed by having sex with Cassian. There was a bit of that too, but they also had bonding moments and she worked through some stuff so I'll let it slide.
First of all, if Cassian could keep his mouth shut, I'd be grateful. There's no reason for him to talk during sex scene, especially to say the lines he did.
Also they fucked right after Nesta got assaulted by a kelpie. And it was just brushed off like nothing happened... But that almost rape scene did blend with everything else that happened during that time.
Rhysand–IT'S YOUR CHOICE–Rhysand decided not to tell Feyre she'll die at childbirth. But told everyone else. And when Nesta told Feyre, she's made the villain. At least Rhys knows he's controlling bastard and told Cassian to take Nesta away. The way she told Feyre is wrong, and at that moment it's done for the wrong reason but she still deserved to know from the beginning. And make her own decision about it. At least Nesta showed regret over how she'd done it.
So Feyre got pregnant while she was in "Illyrian form" and that's why baby has wings and can't pass through her birth canal.. I guess abortion wasn't option. Because it's your choice doesn't apply to your body.
I almost forgot that Rhys used forced shields around Feyre so that no can even touch her or smell that she's pregnant. And that's okay, he's just overprotective hihi. But when Tamlin does it, it's not okay.
I hate that Nesta gave her powers away so she could bring back Feyre, Rhys and the baby. They were dumb enough to make a bargain to die at the same time, they should deal with consequences. But at least she changed all their anatomy so we won't have this stupid drama again.
