I LOVED THE BOOK... but I was super underwhelmed at the end. This was not the High Stakes, emotionally damaging book I was expecting. (HOSAB&HOFAS Spoiler) <Spoiler>And this has nothing to do with the crossover, even though that felt super underwhelming too, but I also wasn't expecting a crazy crossover since this is a Crescent City book, not an ACOTAR book. It wouldn't make much sense to put a ton of info in that would need to be explained in the next ACOTAR book for it to make sense.</Spoiler> I don't think enough people died. with how the Asteri were written be this huge bad multi-planet villain it just wasn't <i>enough.</i> I expected to be in a full blown reading slump and that did not happen.
Despite that, I am very much looking forward to her next book because despite this being the ending to Bryce and Hunt. I do not think this will be the last Crescent City Book. I mean, we still need a House of Many Waters book.

i cannot believe that the woman who wrote this book also wrote throne of glass. a staggering difference in quality. it just tries so hard to be edgy and rugged that its distracting. this is true for the cc series as a whole, but it really peaked in this book.
also someone needs to take the phrase "he/she could have sworn" out of sarah j maas's vocabulary, preferably her editor but i'll take anyone at this point
basically, this book felt like the culmination of the author biting off more than she could chew. half of the characters were great and had interesting stories and the other half i did not care for.
