My least favorite of the series but still have to give it five stars cause it is still very good, had some complaints on this one but enjoyed the character development and inspiration side of it, definitely looking forward to future books to get more of a story closure.

Just looking for a more complete ending but hopefully not the last book, still would give five stars as a series but found this one my least favorite, very inspiring and good development enjoyed the story, just thought some was unrealistic and unfinished

Okay...that was a lot. 
Overall I loved this book. I felt like Nesta's journey was written so well and took so much time - like it was really great how it wasn't too easy, it really showed her progress and setbacks repeatedly, which felt realistic. Also her and cassian - yum. But then all of a sudden it was like she realized she'd written 680 pages and suddenly had to wrap it up and then crammed everything into the last 70 pages. There's so much left unresolved - like the entire autumn court, Tamlin, the rumbling war... like I need her to write more asap. Also as much as I loved the story, I missed hearing about Rhys, Feyre, and the rest of the people in the central group. I wish it'd been more balanced. 
Having said all that I feel like the majority of the book was brilliant, which is why I gave it 5 stars - just an unsatisfying ending.

Absolutely loved the character growth and life lessons, I do wish there were a few more quiet casually intimate moments between Cassian and Nesta though.

Loved it. Just not as good as the others.  I feel like some things went on the back burner but overall great story.
