I honestly had more moments during this book than the first of being annoyed with characters and their poor life choices. It seemed messy and I felt Maas wrote the plot twists in this book rather predictably. 

That being said, I REALLY loved the world and lore expansion in this book. And I’m a huge fan of crossover series! This book left me satisfied with our FMC/MMC relationship, hopeful for new relationships, and SO excited to revisit old favorites.

SJM really knows how to write a third act! I definitely enjoyed the latter section of the book; it’s worth preserving through the slower earlier chapters. Overall it’s a solid fantasy novel with quest and rebellion threads and a lot a spicy scenes (honestly a bit much for me but totally on brand for SJM from what I can tell)

OMG, this thing must have been sent to me from the heavens. I would give up my soul to be able to read this book for the first time again. I just cant really explain it, it drew me in, it kept me interested, waiting for the build up, the problem the everything was done so well Its just amazing I cant believe I have to wait for the third book.

This book should be written in the history books all over the world.
