Well written, had me on the end of my seat begging for Nesta to let Cassian in and for her to find peace within herself. I was very pleased by the end.

My favourite ACOTAR book so far, I loved Nesta's character development and the Valkyrie plotline

Although this technically isn’t the last in the ACOTAR series, I was sooooo sad to finish this. I will miss these characters so much.

HOWEVER, I have a seriously controversial opinion. This was my least favourite in the series!

I will say this book left an impact on my heart as it was written from a different POV from another character in the book. I actually like it. I think it gave a glimpse into the brain of another character and provided some grace since the entire series this character was hard to understand. I overall rate it a high 4.5 since there was a character development.

My favorite of the series, so far. I think the writing and storytelling got better.

I can understand Nesta.

UPDATE:

I finished it today, 9/7/24.

SO GOOD.

I WAS CRYING AT THE END!!!

POWERFUL love story.

So excited for Book 6 to come out!
