A fun read. Easy and enjoyable while exploring sisterhood and self-forgiveness and healing. Almost no plot though to make space for the porn.

Nesta is a complex character who I loved seeing grow and find herself ! It was heartwarming to see her heal and find her own family, Gwyn and Emerie, and a safe place. Her relationship with them was so cute, the way they empowered and loved to death each other was so touching. 
Nes and Cass' relationship was so slow and fast, which fits with Nes' traumas and PTSD, since she is afraid of failing and losing everyone. 
There's not a lot of action in this book (since this is about Nesta healing and being in a better place) except for the end. The subplot (War) was developed slowly then at the end it unfolded. 
It was a really great book with a good evolution in term of plot, relationship (platonically and romantically speaking) and character. 
(I don't understand the hype behind Gwyn and Azriel's ship, there is no dialogue except during the training, and even there, it was like one paragraph)
