kind of underwhelming to be honest - like many others say it definitely had its moments but it felt like things came to a finish too easily if that makes sense

Lidia and Ruhn def carried a lot of this book, Ithan and Tharion get a lot of hate for their scene (and while I agree for some) but I kinda enjoyed their scenes and the break from Bryce’s chapters.

also I’m super bummed we didn’t get a lot of our ACOTAR pals in HOFAS - like why play it up so much if they are there for like 3 chapters total? the extra chapter with nesta and Bryce’s parents was precious though.

That was a long book ! I really enjoyed it, but would not re-read it, so down one star. Why ? Whinny, pitiful men, this book was a man's pity party nonstop. I swear each one was "I'm not good enough, I can't do anything right, I'm so worthless...." I really had to wonder what the author was going through that she made them so self doubting. Only the good men, the nasty ones couldn't have cared less what they did to the world or others. I suffered eye strain from rolling my eyes at some of the comments. It's a pet peeve I have, can't stand self loathing pity parties. ** Snicker



So the story, it was relentless, everything and more happened. I needed breaks just to catch my breath.
So I didn't know this was the last book, but it was pretty obvious from the ending it is. I'm glad the author didn't drag it on and on like some do.
