I can't do cheating in books, so this was an instant nope for me. The fact that I didn't, for a single nanosecond, feel one ounce of longing from Thalia meant this did nothing for me. Mutual pining or nothing for me.

It was good, I feel some things would definitely have been solved if people talked and there were some things and were never talked about that I felt definitely should've been but it was good I like the characters and I like the world.

I appreciated that this book wasn’t sex every other chapter like the last one, and one of my outstanding questions was addressed. The ending felt rushed though, and a lot of the dialogue and intimacy between Thalia and Sorin seemed just like a copy and paste of Evren and Adara - they didn’t seem as unique.
