There was one scene near the end that was good but the rest was pretty mediocre imho.

I thought this book was good, but not as good as ACOTAR. I keep wanting to read more Sarah J. Maas but none of them live up to the first series I read from her. I liked the storyline and the strong female lead. I also liked the twist at the end that let you into something that the main character didn’t know. I wasn’t sure that she was

going to win at the end.

I think that seeing into different dimensions or worlds is going to become very important later on. In the end, I did like it, just not like some of the other books I’ve read.

Great start to a hopefully amazing series!
Another Sarah J Maas book that was pretty good. I'll be honest, I am still waiting (very impatiently) for some more diversity to be added to her books. I feel uncomfortable buying so many books from her when the diversity is so low. Because of that, the rating of this book has gone from probably a 4.5 to a 4-star book.

Overall, I really liked this book. I loved the characters and their relationship, I feel like we got a great glimpse into what's to come, I felt so immersed almost instantly into the book. I read this pretty fast, it's definitely a gripping and intriguing book, and one that I'll most likely recommend soon!
