It was good, but I'm glad it's over so I don't know how good that actually makes it?

Never read a book before that explores rage brought on by intense grief so well. I know Nesta is an easy character to hate. It's easier to write her "behavior" off as annoying and bratty, but it was obvious to me from the beginning that she was hurting. Hurt people can be nasty. Constantly grasping for something to feel, even if it's hatred. I loved her character development, though I care a lot less about the relationships in this series once they get mated because it's essentially over atp. Just a lot of fucking and being sweet to each other in an annoying way that's unbearable.

I went into this book thinking “how can I read a whole book about someone that really winds me up” but as I made my way through it, albeit many eye rolls did occur, I started to see the development and slowly started to love this book. It’s not a slow burn, it’s definitely twisty and turny throughout. There were multiple times I had to stop reading and take a break because it was too much and I wanted to live in my bubble forever 😂 easy 5 stars for me

Mixed feelings about this! Loved the whole series. But found myself just wanting to get to the end of this. It was pretty slow for the first 75%.
I loved the Valkyrie storyline and the

blood rite

- that part got really juicy. Sometimes with the ACOTAR series I’ve wanted the climax bit to last longer - the rising action almost takes too long & also a lot of explaining about stuff that happened in earlier books that I think we don’t need to go over again. I get it if it’s resolving feelings about stuff but I’ve noticed with SJM it feels like too much exposition.
Did like getting to know Cassian better - at times in earlier books couldn’t quite remember/distinguish the difference between him and Azriel personality wise. And tbh sorta liked Nesta better than Feyre in some ways? Although I did get sick of her self loathing and pity stuff 

Didn’t feel like I needed the Feyre pregnant and having a baby storyline
