Book 3 of Crescent City was EVERYTHING I hoped it would be From the beginning of the book all the way to the last chapter. It had you on the edge of your seat. This book has me wanting to obtain all of the information it was throwing at you.
This book has a great conclusion to the events that started with Crescent City 1 & 2. You get to meet a few new characters and get even more in depth with the characters we already know and love.
I don't want to give any spoilers but I highly recommend reading The ACOTAR series before Crescent City. You learn some pieces of information in that series, specifically book 5, that gives you some background in the world building in Crescent City. 3. If you don't read ACOTAR you'll definitely be missing information, but you could probably get by with the limited knowledge.

Narozdiel od 2. dielu táto časť je napínavá od začiatku až do konca. Knihu som nevedela odložiť. Niektoré zápletky boli síce až moc jednoducho vyriešené ale čo na to môžem povedať - hlavná hrdinka je drsná a nezávislá žena, ktorá sa nevzdáva a urobí pre dosiahnutie svojho cieľa všetko.

It’s crazy how when reading the first book I was struggling to understand literally everything l: the world, the species, powers, heck just everyone’s names but by this book I read it so easily no rereading or googling peoples names required. I loved this book loved seeing more of Nesta the duo I didn’t know I needed her and Bryce and omg the revealing of who Lydia is related to??? I did not see that coming! I’m very glad this is not the end of the series because I want more!

Fucking Bryce going to Valaris and hanging out with the sass queen herself Nesta. The Asteri being intergalactic parasites that feed on people magic and all the shit that we learn about how Midgard came to be the way it is. Hel being another world and not a part of Midgard. Ruhn and Lidia being mates.
All the shit that goes one is just one roller coater after another. Honestly it's so hard to remember everything that happened it was all so crazy.
Of course it was great and I can't wait to read the next SJM book. Hopefully it's something in the ACOTAR world so we can see what Nesta goes with the starsword.

There is so so so many spoilers in this… read at your own risk!
The epic crossover in the SJM cinematic universe.
When I walked into the living room with this book in my hand my parents joked about it being bigger than the bible. Honestly, this was my bible. This is what I would swear on if sworn into office (there are so many books I could pick for that… Out on a Limb by Hannah Bonam-Young, Heir of Fire, ACOMAF, ACOWAR all by Sarah J Maas, etc. etc). Also, random thought, imagine the day that America loses its strange obsession with religion and people are sworn into office by putting a hand on like a bound fanfiction… okay anywhooooo back to my rant on this book….
That was INSANE, like absolutely insane! I was terrified of this book, terrified because I knew it would consume every fiber of my being. I was right with that thought. Hence why it took me so long to read. That and the fact its THICK and hella intimidating. I fear this made my craving for more Rhys and Feyre content even stronger, which is a crazy thing to say… I JUST NEED MORE OF THEM! THEY ARE JUST PRECIOUS AND MAKE ME SO GIDDY AND SDJALKSJD
I SOBBED, like full on SOBBED… not like ‘haha omg I'm sobbing’ NO I WAS/AM SOBBING! I am speechless… so I’m glad I wrote down some notes as I went, trying to put it together now is ridiculous…
Can we talk about the hurt/comfort we see between characters in this masterpiece… GIRL!!!! That was crazy, The “who hurt you? I’ll kill them” moments were SO strong and I’m a sucker for them (I’m insane, I’m very aware).
Reading about ACOTAR characters no matter how brief brought me so much joy. Even if it was Nesta, which I am still so conflicted on my feelings toward her. When reading A Court of Silver Flames I genuinely did not care, like girl, be for real… get over yourself! Sis was celebrated for doing the most obvious and right thing, whatever. But I don’tttt knowwwww!!! I’m so conflicted AHHH! But I enjoyed reading her no matter how I feel about her character because it gave me small glimpses into Feyre and Rhysands life and that's all a girl can ask for in life really.
When Az was talking Nesta down to take off The Mask *MAJOR CHEFS KISS*!!!!!! I screamed!
Not Nesta eating cake with Bryces parents, shes so me!
RHYS AND RANDALL BEING BESTIE DADS ARE YOU KIDDING?!?!? IM MELTING!!!!
ALSO THE FACT THAT BRYCE IS SO POWERFUL SHE JUST TOOK THE MASK OFF, LIKE YOURE INSANE!!! YOURE SO INSANE!!! I LOVE YOU!!!
Random applause for Chapter 85 (before the smut) and the vulnerability Hunt and Bryce shared. Talking about how they were each others best friend, home, and Bryce goes to say that she never thought she’d have another chance at a best friend, at the kind of happiness they shared after the loss of her best friend Dankia but stops herself “After Danika I didn’t think…”. WHEN I TELL YOU THAT SH!T MADE ME CRY!!!! SARAH J MAAS YOU ARE SO CRUEL AND I ADORE YOU FOR IT!
I feel the need to go through this book and highlight my favorite bits and pieces, but I fear that project will take over my life, so maybe not until CC4.

SHE KNEW HER DEAD BESTIES WERE OKAY AND SAFE WAITING FOR HER WHEN HER TIME IS READY AND SOMEHOW THAT WAS EVERYTHING…… I WANT TO DIE!!!!!
