Would have been five stars if not for that

unnecessarily traumatic pregnancy side plot.

But I really loved this book, the best in the series so far in my opinion.

The spicy scenes were great - and, not gonna lie, that's the entire reason I read this book bc I didn't like ACOTAR that much. I have some qualms with a lot of the rest of the story. The Valkyries were an unexpected and welcomed surprise.

My least favorite of the series but still have to give it five stars cause it is still very good, had some complaints on this one but enjoyed the character development and inspiration side of it, definitely looking forward to future books to get more of a story closure.

Just looking for a more complete ending but hopefully not the last book, still would give five stars as a series but found this one my least favorite, very inspiring and good development enjoyed the story, just thought some was unrealistic and unfinished
