This is my favorite so far of the series. The romance was really lovely, but my favorite part was

the friendship between the three females and the blood rite plot line

. the action was so much better than the other books, and i loved the development of the priestesses & other females!

5.0

This book is in Nesta’s  POV. Throughout I was endeared to cassian. I already loved him but I understand more of him. Nesta definitely had some issues deep rooted issues. I wish more people understood what she’s going through mentally. It’s no excuse for the behavior but those issues don’t just sit quietly in the background.

The actual story was fantastic! Figuring out where everyone was headed in terms of tensions still being high 2 years after the war that nearly killed them all. I loved seeing Nesta grow and having Cassian being of more importance was nice. The will they won’t they was also so great to read. My only issue was the sex scenes. Don’t get me wrong, I am all for spicy scenes in books. Love them and they can add to the story. This book had way too many and I really got tired of reading about Nesta’s large, lucious breasts on her tiny, under nourished body, and her tight, soaking wet “center” plus the descriptions of Cassions monster member was repetitive and felt lazy. We get it, she has a very small and tight vagina and he has a massive cock. It felt like these scenes were written by a man and that’s precisely why I don’t read any fantasy or sci-fi written by men. It just didn’t feel sexy or creative. The book could have lost 400 pages if the sex scenes were cut down and made more creative. The actual adventure of the book was amazing so hopefully the next book is better.
