5 stars bc Nessian is the hill I will die on. Confused what the next book is going to be considering this ending was clean enough for SJM to stop here. Elain's book, presumably. Or Gwyn's? Even better.

Probably my favorite

This is probably my favorite out of all five books. I love Nesta’s story, the struggle with her self destructive behavior, the desire to be a good person, and finding life to have purpose. Her story impacted me more than Feyre’s, even if Feyre’s story was wonderful. Nesta’s journey was beautiful as she found friendship with two other women who suffered so much in their own lives and together they became a support system, a family. Nesta’s relationship with Cassian was *chef’s kiss*. I loved their spiteful banter full of passion, and the competitive nature only to reveal the love that lay underneath. Just a perfect ending for Nesta.

I am the #1 Nesta defender. I understand that she is basically a b*** the entire book but LOOK AT WHAT SHES BEEN THROUGH! Also she works her BOOTY OFF training the entire book climbing those freaking stairs. I love that you can literally watch her heal through the book. And she is actually such a good friend and is so selfless and truly loves Cassian. I’m not saying I agree with her but I’m also not saying I would do anything different. I think this is my favorite of the series no lie. Super spicy tho like oh my gosh. And wth with this baby, I didn’t like that either.

yes it was good yes i liked it, why was it almost 800 pages? but rip acotar ill miss you

I loved so much that it was written in 3rd person POV to know how each one feels at the same time and what's happening from a broad picture. I also loved so much the idea that we were going with Nesta through her healing journey, and actually that was the main course of the book from my point of view and I totally LOVED it. Yet, I didn't love that Cassian was the one who's always getting injured and appearing as weak despite being a general just to frame Nesta as the undefeated also when in the rite, Gwyn and Emerie got injured, yet Nesta didn't. I don't like that ultimate hero/heroine picture, like why not making it more realistic, logical and showing the fact that even if a person is strong, no matter how strong they are, but they can sometimes be wounded and all that and that no one is ultimately undefeatable.
Another thing I didn't like is that I felt that Briallyn's death was too easy. And I absolutely disliked the fact that Azriel gave a gift he chose for Elain to Gwyn just because Elain gave it back.


But overall I liked the plot development and the whole story a lot.
