ACOSF was a huuuuge improvement over ACOMAF. There was tons of chemistry and I've been begging for Cas and Nesta to pull their heads out of their asses and finally kiss. This book gave so much of that and more.
Got to see a new side of Nesta that wasn't just kitty claws. ACOSF brought out a lot of clarity in why she's such a bitch all the time and really showed that some coping mechanisms aren't always healthy or the best for maintaining relationships with the people you love. Sometimes you get so comfy in your shell and pushing people away that you forget what it's like to let someone in and let them see the real you. Nesta had a lot of character development in this book and it felt so long overdue. It was good to see her working on herself and coming out stronger on the other side.
On the other hand, Maas irrevocably destroyed Rhys in this book. There is no chance for redemption. She tried to play it off as all cool, but
For the life of me I can't understand why Maas does this to her characters, because it's not even like it's the intentional undoing of a character that makes you feel bittersweet rage as they turn to the dark side. She's just turning them into unredeemable twats for no reason and it's so unsatisfying.

It's no secret I hate Rhys and reading from Feyre's perspective, so this book was so refreshing in that I could almost forget they existed. Almost.
Two big things I didn't like: Feyre's pregnancy and the fact that Nesta sacrificed her power because of it.
I love that we see Nesta coming to terms with the truth that she doesn't wanna be a cruel, ruthless queen. I even love that she makes sacrifices for family members who didn't see what she was going through- I think it really brought her story full circle. However, I hate that there was no other way for Feyre to have survived the pregnancy. For a world in which magic is abundant, you'd think they'd have figured out how to perform a C-section correctly.
It gets an extra half star over the other books literally only because Spicy Cassian and I didn't have to read Feyre saying "my mate" over two hundred times.

This book resonated with me on an even deeper level than the others had and I cannot even express how thankful I am to have read it. It has inspired to take better care of myself, exercise, and practice mindfulness, all things that are difficult because of my anxiety. I am thankful to have found a character like Nesta, who despite her own struggles,
If you don’t like books that graphically talk about sex, this book is not for you (but I doubt you even got to this point because the first ACOTAR books had it too). This book was the most graphic when it came to sex, and the most abundant. I loved how female sexuality was handled.
