What I liked:
-
- The friendships that Nesta developed
- The overall storyline - I love this world but what I liked about this book in particular is getting to see it through Nesta's eyes.
What I didn't like (and why it didn't get rated higher)
-
-
- The backstory that takes place behind Nesta's healing journey wasn't developed enough. It was almost like it was there to be there. We caught glimpes and pieces but none of it was written well enough to be interesting.
The most frustrating thing about these books, actually any of Maas' books, is that because there are more coming she doesn't do a good job of sprinkling crumbs.

And the Feyre pregnancy plot was ultimately not enjoyable and plain stupid. (C-sections are a common procedure, are you telling me a society with very advanced magical medicine can't figure out how to chop someone open??) I fail to see how Rhysand is better than Tamlin in any capacity, being that he would have just had her be unaware of the risks of her pregnancy.
Honestly this whole book just felt confused, under baked and unnecessary.
And a personal aside, I just don't particularly enjoy pregnancy plot lines. Abort that thang.

I adored the friendship and found family between Nesta, Gwyn, and Emerie, and even the House. Nesta realizing that she did deserve love even after all of the horrible things that happened before was a satisfying plot point, even if it took her a long time to get there. We love a proper redemption story.
It was funny and sometimes ridiculous (in a good way) how Nesta and Cass tried to act like FWB for much of the book, but they were NEVER that casual. They both literally risked their lives for each other on PURPOSE before they’d ever even KISSED. It was way too laughable how they both pretended to not care for one another, and how spectacularly they failed. So stubborn, the both of them.
“The music was no longer the most beautiful thing in existence. He was.”
The grit, the determination, the unbridled power unleashed(!!!!)…. All of the right relationships gained. The SPICE!!
An incredible read, even despite the Wattpad direction that Rhys and Feyre’s story went (I still love them sooooo much but the pregnancy storyline was a little too Breaking Dawn for me).

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.
