This book was mostly boring, which is such a shame given how complex the story idea is. The good stuff is drowning in a sea of info-dumping and word vomit, a lot of it repetitive.

This book was unexpected in so many ways, and I loved it.
Searching for clues that tied this world to Maasā other worlds was the best scavenger hunt. Though I do believe that people should go into this expecting, and knowing, that it is a Crescent City book.
It had all my favorite characters and then some. I enjoyed seeing so many different points of view and following multiple side characters, though I do think some POVs were stronger than others.
The ending blew me away and makes me think the next book(s) will focus on characters other than Bryce and Hunt. I love how well Maas tied this up and am excited to see what happens next.

MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD:
1. Bryce and Huntās reunion felt extremely lacklustre and anticlimactic
2. Tharion and Ithanās POVs are infuriating and I have no idea why SJM made these two make so many dumb decisions repeatedly
3. Bryce didnāt feel nearly as loveable and she was oddly hard on Hunt which didnāt seem to align with the past two books
4. The ending felt a little rushed and unbelievable as to how the world would change from it
5. Ithanās so called character development felt very inauthentic
