An absolute roller coaster. This really had me feeling a lot of different emotions. I will admit, I walked into this book not super excited because I hadn’t liked Nesta. The amount of abuse that she inflicted on EVERYBODY was astounding. But, I made an effort to keep an open mind, because trauma shows in everyone different, and Nesta was no exception. I’m chalking it up to it being from mostly her perspective that I began feeling animosity towards everyone in the IC. you’re getting a different view of them, and it’s not one filled with sunshine and rainbows.
The idea of the Valkyries was pretty cool, even more so when it was entirely consisted of women who no longer wanted to feel powerless. The friendship that blooms between Gwyn, Emerie, and Nesta is one of my favorite aspects of the story. That Cass and Az were the ones to teach them and give them the knowledge to defend themselves was great.
The idea of Nesta being Lady Death was interesting. It didn’t really seem like her powers were clear, but that she needed to have control of them.
In regards to spice: DAMN. It’s a lot.
And as for Feyres storyline throughout all of this: I mostly just got Breaking Dawn vibes. But with that stupid bargain her and Rhysand did at the end of ACOWAR, I really hope it smacked some sense into their lovesick asses.

It was a mistake not rereading the whole series before this book. I think I read the last one in 2018 or 2019. It took me a bit to reorient myself in the world and remember all the characters.

I liked it! I relate to Nesta a lot more than Feyre. I liked the female friendships and the setting. It's not a 5 star for me because I don't think it needed to be that long and I wasn't surprised by anything.

I wonder who the next couple will be! I feel like they are setting up Elain and Azriel but I'd like to see Azriel and Gwyn. Elain is just so boring. I don't know how she hasn't snapped yet with everyone "protecting" her. Will Emerie and Morr get together? Will Tamlin have a redemption book? Who will Eris end up with? So many couple possibilities!

5 stars for nesta’s journey. i’m docking imaginary points for the multiple instances of the miscommunication/no communication trope, the amount of fucking (it’s too much) and how all conflict was saved til the end as usual which is fine when there’s another book to dive into.. but here there isn’t
