I really hope she didn’t just connect this story to ACOTAR I was enjoying this one …
Also what the fuck was that plot twist towards the end .
Maas seems to like throwing all the action towards the end and it’s gets really confusing . Also I really hate the fated mates thing . Hunt and Bryce chose each other CANT that be enough.. she hates her fae heritage like why would it make sense for her to be princess / queen now either .

1. The foreshadowing was so heavy handed that I knew about one of the twists halfway through the book.

2. It's still kinda weird to me how centuries old beings act like teenagers.

3. Everyone's been freaking out about the ending but I have a feeling you have to read ACOTAR to get it and I haven't lol.

I haven't decided on an overall rating because I fucking HATE the ending so much. The very last chapter is fucking stupid. Negative stars from me. NEGATIVE.

The rest was fine. But my enjoyment from it is basically null because of how much I do not like the ending.

Rep: Fat half-fae half-human white cishet female MC, BIPOC angel cishet male love interest, Black sapphic fawn female side character, sapphic female side character, sapphic BIPOC witch side character, side MLM pairing, sapphic female side character, several BIPOC side characters.

CWs: consensual sexual content (graphic, multiple scenes), violence, blood, death, cursing, torture, war, slavery, murder, gun violence, alcohol consumption, injury/injury detail. Moderate: past mentions of physical child abuse, colonisation, confinement, genocide, drug use, addiction, misogyny, sexism, sexual violence, sexual assault. Minor: mentions of possible infertility (never confirmed), trafficking.
