This was my second time reading this book and I loved it just as much as last time!

Following on from the A Court of Thorns and Roses series, this book primarily focuses on Nesta and Cassian, and I loved every minute of it. 

Sarah J. Maas is able to create such complex worlds and characters, and this book was no different. I love how Nesta starts off as an intentionally unlikeable character, but she goes on this journey to truly accept and forgive herself, and really begins to redeem herself. 

Cassian is honestly such a loveable character and that didn’t change here, between him and the rest of the Inner Circle, I always love revisiting these characters. 

One of my absolute favourite parts of this book is Nesta’s new found family in Emerie and Gwen. I really enjoyed seeing Nesta gain the bonds that Feyre previously found for herself. 

The side plot of Feyre and her pregnancy was something I really liked, especially how the baby almost seemed to bring Nesta and Feyre back together. 

Overall, I loved this book!

I struggled with this one more than the rest of the series. For one thing, it was 95% romance, 5% plot. (Okay, maybe I’m being dramatic.) I also knew going into it that I would struggle simply due to the fact that, at the start of the book, I hated Nesta. And I was so sad to be leaving Feyre’s POV. 

By the end of the book, I can’t say that I particularly like Nesta — I certainly don’t love her — but I do understand her. I am proud of what happens throughout the course of this book. And I hope we continue to see her story develop in future books.

When I started this book, I wasn't sure what to expect. Having finished A Court of Frost and Starlight, I figured there would be something going on between Nesta and Cassian. I didn't know how it would pan out, because a lot of the major plot points from the first two books were resolved in A Court of Wings and Ruin. Having said that, I can confidently say that this is my second favorite book in the series, only second to A Court of Mist and Fury.

Finally being able to understand Nesta and Cassian's perspectives was something I didn't know I needed, but was pleasantly surprised to find myself enthralled with the book, their relationship, and how Nesta grew and adapted throughout. And when we found out
the House was alive
and that
Cassian and Nesta were mates
? Swoon!

The spice? There were times where I had to stop reading just to take a breath, and calm myself. Soooo spicy!

Highly, highly recommend.
