First off, I take back every bad thing I've said about Nesta- The best thing about the book is Nesta's character development. It's no secret that she was prolly the one of the most disliked characters in ACOTAR due to her hedious behaviour throughout the series. But by the end of this novel I was in love with Ness.❤️🩹
Nesta is a complex and deeply flawed character, haunted by her past and battling her own demons. As the story unfolds, we witness her transformation from a broken and bitter individual to someone who learns to confront her fears and accept her own strength.
The romance between Nesta and Cassian is electric and fullll of tension. There is a lot of witty banter between them, which is adorable as well as sarcastic at the same time. The chemistry building is just excellent and their interactions sizzle with desire and vulnerability.
However, the book also explores the importance of self-love and personal growth outside of a romantic relationship, which adds even more depth & complexity to the story.
SJM'S EXECUTION STYLE IS THE AIR TO MY LUNGS. She handled Nesta's character arc with so much sensitivity, that I was left empathising with her and rooting for her as she navigated the challenges that came her way. The book has so many action-packed scenes with quieter moments of introspection. The plot has some really good and intriguing twists and turns. Plus the dialogues are filled with genuine emotions and are just soo good that I cried so many times that I've lost count.🥹
SPOILERS:
I could see the building romance between or should I say potential romance between Az and Gwyn and I absolutely love it.
Also, everytime Feysand entered the page, I absolutely cherished it. I think the only thing I didn't like was pregnant Feyre. I mean It just felt really rushed after how they wanted to take it slow and everything but still I couldn't be happier for them.😭💞
That said, it's worth noting that this book includes some really explicit content so pls look into TWs before reading.

Aside from this being deliciously spicy (would give a 4/5), the story here really spoke to me. Like the first trilogy, this is a story of healing from trauma, both childhood trauma as well as trauma caused by recent events.
I especially liked Nesta's development because it resonated with me a lot: the poisonous isolation she puts herself through, alienating everyone around her and keeping her distance, the lack of self-confidence and self-respect, etc. This all is a really accurate description of what some people experience. The fantasy part - to me - is having Cassian at her side, who never gives up and helps her through this, regardless of what she throws at him. I'm pretty sure, in real life, there is a limit to what people will tolerate, but here there doesn't seem to be.
I could go on and gush about this for a while yet, but let's just say: If you like your fantasy tropes, but maybe are struggling with isolation and trauma recovery yourself, I think this will resonate with you. I found it pretty inspiring. 5 stars every time!
