me a sjm in a deep south accent: i can’t quit you
anyways this book is proof sjm books wouldn’t be getting so much shit for being “toxic” if they were simply categorised as adult and new adult like they should have been since like throne of glass.
all the queer baiting/lack of diversity/insensitive oversight on ableism/lack of diverse bodies etc all of that stands. in fact in this one she regressed and i honestly thought she forgot mor was selectively lesbian from acowar.
anyways. there are better books to read but these would be easier to ignore if teens weren’t reading this.

The "bad" were a mix of less than great writing (but that is on brand for Maas) and the fact that a couple of the story beats were quite similar to ones that we saw in the core trilogy. Neither of these issues massively impacted my enjoyment but were more of eyeroll moments.
In the "good" column, I feel like I saw a good amount of setting up what was to come which made for a really enjoyable experience.
Overall this was a thoroughly enjoyable return to the world of ACOTAR.
Review and rating from first read: This review will be appropriately spoiler tagged for ACOSF however it may contain spoilers for the previous 4 books so proceed with caution if you are not fully caught-up with the series.
I went into this book feeling fairly neutral about Nesta and quite liking Cassian but overall kinda being sad that we were no longer following Feysand. This book managed to make me fall in love with Nessian as a pairing as well as a brilliant cast of new characters. I was a little disappointed by the
There is definitely more story to be told after this book but the book ends in such a way that it is more loose threads than a massive cliffhanger which I appreciate. 4.5⭐
