The 2nd timr I am reading this book shows me that I am really good at blocking things out if I decide I want to bc some of these plot twists destroy my carefully created image of the male MC.

Concept is 5 stars, characters are 4 stars, execution is 2 stars. Someone should have edited the first 500 pages down to around half that for all they hold - if the first half had been anything like the last, it would’ve been at least a 4.5 star read. Also…why was the word “fuck” mentioned ten times per page? People don’t talk like that in real life

I’ve read everything Sarah J Maas has published (aside from the second in this series) —this is her best book yet. I compare her writing style to that of TOG, and am blown away by how adult and mature this storyline is. I love that this is a mystery, thriller, romance, and political conspiracy book all in one. Her most genuine and loveable characters yet. Everything is so neatly wrapped in the story. Two major plot twists I literally didn’t even see coming. 

** does contain sexually explicit scenes — I would not call this YA.
