This is only part 1 of the book, but it's almost as difficult to get through as ACOTAR. If anything, it made me dislike Nest more than I already did. I understand what the author was attempting to go for and how she was trying to build a character that is flawed with self-destructive behaviors, but that could've been achieved much quicker without lingering on the absolute most distasteful aspects of her. We still would've got the whole picture.
Hoping part 2 improves upon the faults of this first half. The only reason I didn't DNF it was because I wanted to know what was going on with literally every other character BUT Nesta.

I love this world, but am not a fan of Nesta.
I do love how SJM explores her character in this book, but the first half is definitely slow going.
For the graphic Audio I think it would have been better if it had a female AND male narrator, but I suppose as the first 4 we’re in first person we had been spoilt 😅
