Meh. It was fine. Honestly I was bored at a lot of parts. I want more of Emerie and Gwyn than anyone else 😅

I found that there was actually not much of a plot - the plot was seemingly forgotten through most of the book so we could follow the training or just Cassian and Nesta fucking. Which got old. And the whole scenes of them hiking? Definitely skim read those and other sections... I still don't really like Nesta. I can understand her character and that she has trauma and still not like her. I liked the parts with Cassian but it was mostly him pining after Nesta and defending her when she didn't deserve it. The Rhys and Feyre plot was annoying. And even though Elain finally said something and stood up she was still pretty damn useless to the story... just wasn't for me.

The rape is recounted. There is also a baby death for a short bit...

The actual story was fantastic! Figuring out where everyone was headed in terms of tensions still being high 2 years after the war that nearly killed them all. I loved seeing Nesta grow and having Cassian being of more importance was nice. The will they won’t they was also so great to read. My only issue was the sex scenes. Don’t get me wrong, I am all for spicy scenes in books. Love them and they can add to the story. This book had way too many and I really got tired of reading about Nesta’s large, lucious breasts on her tiny, under nourished body, and her tight, soaking wet “center” plus the descriptions of Cassions monster member was repetitive and felt lazy. We get it, she has a very small and tight vagina and he has a massive cock. It felt like these scenes were written by a man and that’s precisely why I don’t read any fantasy or sci-fi written by men. It just didn’t feel sexy or creative. The book could have lost 400 pages if the sex scenes were cut down and made more creative. The actual adventure of the book was amazing so hopefully the next book is better.
