This didn’t really go the way I expected. Like at all. The author definitely left the door open for more books. The pacing was great, the characters stayed awesome, and the ending was solid. *spoilers*

My only beef was we didn’t spend near enough time in ACOTAR and the alpha mystic character was pointless
