*3,5
Vond het erg vermakelijk, maar vond dat het Bryce soms wel erg 'gemakkelijk' af ging. Sommige dingen werden ook ineens snel benoemd, terwijl ik daar eigenlijk wel wat meer over had willen lezen. Vond de cross over met ACOTAR erg leuk ♡

3.5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ SPOILERS AHAED!
Were there parts of this book that were truly spectacular ? ABSOLUTELY.
SJM is known to write such deeply satisfying endings for her series and this one just fell a bit flat for me. She’s know for writing stories with twists and turns that take you by surprise while still “making sense” but in this book a lot things just felt random. The men in this book go from being great characters to being insufferable idiots that just drag the plot along while the girls save the day. The parasite thing felt like a cheap magic trick. I didn’t have any more emotional connection to any characters, no major love/hate/fear for anyone. The only major emotion I had towards a character was hatred for Ithan for just being dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb at every possible opportunity.
The CROSSOVER was done really well, it gave you a juicy amount of time with some of your favorite characters without completely upending plot lines in other series. I even started like Nesta a little bit.
I think the first 2 books sets the bar a little too high. They were just total bangers and this one just didn’t live up to that level and I think right now I’m just a splash disappointed. I still think you should read the book, it’s still a fun time, just don’t think too hard about it. I’ll be here waiting for the next ACOTAR book to be announced.

This one was tough to get through. I felt it was pretty predictable (yes I have read 17 SJM books in a year) but everything felt right? **SPOILER** Made me hate Bryce and Hunt at times, made me love Nesta and Lidia so much more.

Such a huge build up for this book and the crossover; what a let down. It would be less than 3 stars for me without the scenes of Nesta/Ruhn & Lidia. They carried this very lackluster wrap up.

Honestly just glad it’s over, the jumping perspectives so much annoyed the crap out of me. It felt like the ending was meh for the lead up. I felt so much satisfaction out of the first book, as though it could stand alone, and was just let down by every book after.
