I really enjoyed the first book, and quite enjoyed the second but the length of this book became unwieldy. I appreciate the connections made in this book (no spoilers here) and enjoy some of the characters but I've realized that - aside from Ruhn - I don't like most of Crescent City characters. Whereas I really like a lot of the ACOTAR characters.

The way the world is build, the characters are portrayed, cliffhangers are written nearly every  chapter, little moments of humor, little moments of tears. Thank you Sarah J. Maas

Really good! Took a while to get into but ended Hunt & Bryce's ark well. Wish the ACOTAR crossover had more substance but was good nonetheless
