Nesta's character development is the primary focus of this book which was awesome, I don't hate her anymore, however I feel that a solid 90% of this book was filler, and the same mundane shit over and over and over again.
That being said, I enjoyed the sibling relationships and watching Nesta allow herself to heal and receive love despite believing that she deserves it.

Although, I must admit that Nesta is a nasty wee thing and it took me a while to appreciate her character as she was QUITE A BRAT for the first part, but I like that she’s very imperfect and recognizes her flaws and is trying to do better. Cassian on the other hand is a golden retriever and everytime she’s mean to him I wanna stomp my foot in protest cause HE DOES NOT DESERVE IT! Although the line “stop being so mean to me or I’m gonna fall in love with you” is 100% him. BUT STILL! BE NICER, NES!
I really enjoyed the Valkyrie storyline and I’m excited to see more of Gwyn and Emerie moving forward. Reclaiming their power after the patriarchy was a real bitch to them is quite awesome and I love that they’re girlbossing so hard. This book made me want to exercise so I could potentially eventually kick someone’s ass (am I going to? Probably not. But I thought about it!)
🚨HOT TAKE ALERT 🚨
I know everyone likes the idea of Elain and Az BUT I think they’re both too quiet for it to be interesting. I honestly think I’d like to see the awkwardness that is her and Lucien’s mating bond unfurl AND I think I like the idea of Az with Gwyn better! Cause Gwyn is hella cool and they already have banter and mutual respect for each other. I DUNNO ITS JUST MY HOT TAKE!!!! 🤷♀️
Hoping SJM comes out with another ACOTAR book soon so I can hang out with all of my imaginary friends again, but until then - CRESCENT CITY YOU’RE UP NEXT!

Cassian. My man, Cassian. I loved your perspective but homeboy run. The whole relationship was quite toxic and it's annoying how Cassian was ready to break all the rules for her. Risk death for a woman who's been nothing but a bitch to YOUR family that openly welcomed her? No chance my man.
The only good part about this book is
Can we talk about the pacing of this book? 20 hours...20 FUCKING HOURS AND THE MOST INTERESTING PART HAPPENED IN THE LAST 20(ISH)% OF THE BOOK?!?!?!?!?!? This book (like all Sarah J Maas) books was comedically too long.. You could have cut this into a 6 hour book and it would have been so much fucking better. There's so much of nothing happening, of repetition that doesn't amount to nothing, of Nesta's annoying fucking personality to warrant 20 hours. Waste of time, thank god I read it on 2.5 speed or else I would have died.
