This book was a slow start for me. I'm not sure if it was just the idea of getting emotionally invested with Nesta or the character herself, but it took time for me to get into this one but when I did, it was awesome. I love the friendship between the Valkyries. I'm excited for the rest of the series! (If we ever get them!)

NESTA!!! A book dedicated to Nesta and her journey. While I did find the book a bit slow, I loved the friendship between Emerie, Gwyn, and Nesta and each of their stories. 

This was also the spiciest book of the series!

This is the best one of the series. While I’ve enjoyed all the other books immensely (except the first one cause UGH) this one holds a special place. To center on healing and allowing yourself to believe you are worthy is a strong choice in the midst of chaos and potential war. To let yourself find your family when you believe you’re not worth one, is the hardest choice to make. Because it means choosing to stay and fight.

I knew this book would be a smut book, I’d been warned. However, I was not prepared for the amount of sex in this book. Easily over half of it is straight porn. That said I loved the story, Nesta’s friends, the House of Wind, Nedra’s journey to finding herself, and the humor. I feel like not having full chapter sex scenes every two pages would have made this a better book and a shorter read. Great story, but be prepared when you read.

Would have been five stars if not for that

unnecessarily traumatic pregnancy side plot.

But I really loved this book, the best in the series so far in my opinion.
