Nesta‘s story was a compassionate reminder of my own journey in processing and learning to live after many years of trauma and grief. Some of the biggest themes revolved around learning to forgive yourself and learning that many of the things you might blame yourself for, were not your fault in the first place (in a context of surviving trauma and/or abuse). I took comfort in noticing the parallels between Nesta’s and her friends’ healing journeys and my own. This book was actually pretty cathartic for me. Of course, the fantastical elements of the novel were highly entertaining and kept me reading. Maas‘ talent for vivid descriptions and detailed world building make it hard to put this book down. I look forward to her coming works.

This book..wow. Honestly idk what to rate it. It felt like a swing of emotions and plot development. So so much was jammed packed into this book. I wish we could have seen more of the

Elain and Nesta relationship being rebuilt

, but it was already 757 pages so I get it. I absolutely love

Emerie and Gwyn and Nesta’s friendship

. I love seeing the way Nesta

healed

. I loved the honesty that was inner thoughts. This book is just filled with killing despair and endless hope. I love it.
