I adore Feyre; yet Nesta speaks to me in ways her sister’s character couldn’t begin to—enough for me not to mind the 3rd person omniscient. I think I preferred hearing of them, through them, rather than from them; all the thoughts of the Night Court members lived up to my expectations, yet still had me on an emotional rollercoaster. Throughout the series, I remembered exactly why I fell in love with slow-burn romances way back when—it only makes the scenes so much better. And by the time I got to this book, I craved the long journey of undiluted tension. To my surprise, Nesta and Cassian burned their way through that journey and left me reeling, desperate for more. SJM didn’t disappoint. I may have fallen in love with the Night Court back in ACOMAF, but they wholly own me now. Fiending for more.

trigger warnings: sexual assault, rape, physical assault, war, PTSD, physical disfigurement and mutilation, abusive family, sexism and misogyny, sex and nudity, alcoholism, pregnancy complications, birth complications, emotional abuse, depression, anxiety

me a sjm in a deep south accent: i can’t quit you 

anyways this book is proof sjm books wouldn’t be getting so much shit for being “toxic” if they were simply categorised as adult and new adult like they should have been since like throne of glass. 

all the queer baiting/lack of diversity/insensitive oversight on ableism/lack of diverse bodies etc all of that stands. in fact in this one she regressed and i honestly thought she forgot mor was selectively lesbian from acowar. 

anyways. there are better books to read but these would be easier to ignore if teens weren’t reading this.
