3.0

This is my second read of this book, about a year later. Rereading this one, I realize just how bad it is compared to all the other books that she’s written across-the-board. So many lazy moments of writing and missed opportunities. So many plot holes and things that totally didn’t make sense. Could’ve done without all the outrageous smut that wasn’t even good. It just felt too porn-y. However,

all the references to connections to crescent city and foreshadowing is the main reason why I reread it and the main reason why anyone should read it

. I think that a lot of people can relate to Ness‘s journey, but I don’t know if it’s a good thing if you do, since she’s so horrible. By the end, she’s come around, so you kind of forget how bad she was. But she really was absolutely horrible for 70% of the book and all the others. I think that a big reason why I can’t relate or don’t enjoy that character arc is that I have to deal with a Nesta for a sister in my own life except it only gets worse, and I don’t need to read more about it.

4.5

Once again, my sincerest and deepest apologies to Mrs. Sarah J. Maas for ranking this a 3/5 the first time I read it. I did not understand your vision. 

Nesta has always been, and will always be, the best character in this entire series. The first go around I did not understand why there was so much extra lore and seemingly random side plots. I felt they distracted from Nesta’s emotional journey (which is impeccably written!) and the plot seemed too disjointed. It turns out all of the side quests in this book were actually so necessary for the next steps in the series and I just wasn’t paying attention because I was too distracted by the next time Cassian would be on the page. 

I maintain that the end of this book is absolutely chaotic and the Edward-and-Bella-fication of Rhys and Feyre is criminal, but not enough to warrant a mid-level rating. Again, sorry, Sarah! I recognize Silver Flames for the top tier book that it is.

Loved every minute of this read. I experienced every emotion and ended with one of the most insane book hangovers I've ever had. Nesta's story is just so gripping. If I could I would pay to have it wiped from my memory just so I could experience it again.

if there is one thing that sjm can do incredibly well, it is writing mental health, it is writing the worst lows that have no apparent end and how those lows do not have to be constant. how suffering does not have to be experienced alone. that all of it begins when you come to that grave realisation that something is terribly wrong, and that there is a life we are all worthy of experiencing. that there is hope, and that hope will guide us, through whatever it is that we battle. no battles are fruitless, and nesta is the embodiment of that. whilst trauma will lay upon us open wounds, those open wounds will one day scar. and those scars that may never fade with age will only be just that - scars. this book is a symphony for those who one day thought they'd never make it. but you did. there will always be another tomorrow. the sun will always rise again. so breathe.
