Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed reading this! But at some point I looked down, saw that I was on page 370 and still — almost nothing had happened.
There's some character and relationship development and I did enjoy reading about the soldiers and their time at camp but really, all of that could've been shortened.
We do get loads of fun reveals at the end of the book though, one of them I really didn't expect. Will continue reading this series but really, don't expect too much plot from this installment (and I'm saying this as someone who's always characters > plot).

Before I say what I like, please check trigger warnings for this book – as this is brutal.
This book gives ACOTAR vibes, but what ACOTAR did that this book didn’t do was world building. It did it better in this book than the last book I will say that. The book is an easy read and you do get sucked into the storyline and the drama and the tension. I think this book was much better because of Rip. He gives me Rhysand vibes whilst Midas is like the whiny Tamlin. I can see the compassions quite easily, expect Rip is 1000% more scary than Rhysand. I love the fact that Auren stood up for herself in this book and was like do one, I'm not getting back into this cage. I would have loved to learn more about the Queen’s plans but I'm assuming we will learn more in the next book. The cliff hanger at the end as well made me want to throw the book against a wall.
