So you might need to adjust your mindset before diving into this, at least that’s how it was for me. Once I did that, I was actually beginning to enjoy following Nesta along and trying to understand the mindset behind her actions. Adding to that, I really didn’t like Nesta because of how she was portrayed in the other books. But I also think Nesta isn’t supposed to be a lovable character, which makes it even more intriguing trying to understand her. And even though I really hated her in the beginning for all that she‘d done ( or not done), I must admit that she creeped herself into my heart at the end of this journey.
Like many others, I related to her on some levels, which probably made it hard to just unconditionally love her from the beginning. She also simply isn’t portrayed as likeable, but I actually loved to see that in a fictional woman.
On the other side, the side characters are very much lovable. I enjoyed every written word about Gwyn and Emerie and found it very interesting to learn about them and their backstories. The dynamic of the three was the absolute best.
My cons: very slow start and hard to get into (it really is a mindset question though), some out of character moments regarding the inner circle, some issues should have been addressed better.
Honorable mention: the house. I FREAKING LOVE the house!
