Aside from this being deliciously spicy (would give a 4/5), the story here really spoke to me. Like the first trilogy, this is a story of healing from trauma, both childhood trauma as well as trauma caused by recent events.
I especially liked Nesta's development because it resonated with me a lot: the poisonous isolation she puts herself through, alienating everyone around her and keeping her distance, the lack of self-confidence and self-respect, etc. This all is a really accurate description of what some people experience. The fantasy part - to me - is having Cassian at her side, who never gives up and helps her through this, regardless of what she throws at him. I'm pretty sure, in real life, there is a limit to what people will tolerate, but here there doesn't seem to be.
I could go on and gush about this for a while yet, but let's just say: If you like your fantasy tropes, but maybe are struggling with isolation and trauma recovery yourself, I think this will resonate with you. I found it pretty inspiring. 5 stars every time!
