Loved the book, I wish the ACOTAR characters had a bit more time in the books but I’m glad that Nesta was the main character in the crossover. I felt that everything kind of got summed up really nicely. Lidia probably turned out to be my favorite character, and the hint she’s related to Brannon, and therefore Aelin was wild. I do want to know what happened with Sathia and where Ariadne was considering she appears at the end and that’s the last of that chapter.

This was excellent.   It hit the ground running and didn't stop.   Ruhn and Lidia were my favorite.   I hated Ethan's storyline.   He was such an idiot. 

It's like SJM made an apology, Nesta, that was a totally different likable character. This Nesta can stay with Cassian while  I pretend the other one doesn't exist.   

I really want more for Azriel.  Where is his book!?  What about Elaine!?
