Truly sad to see this series go. A little Disney towards the end but that’s why we read books, to escape reality. The maturing of the characters and plot, was great and some lingering questions were answered. I came to really like this narrator but it was an adjustment for a bit there. Good read.

I enjoyed that this book had a lot more politics involved, with all of the courts involved and getting to learn their backstories.
I’m interested to see what happens with the other queen and also Tamlin. Even though he had some redemption this book, he’s still not a great person and deserved what happened to him and that he lost everything.
Really happy with Nesta’s character arc this book and really liked getting to know her more as a character. I feel like we still haven’t really gotten to see Elain so we’ll see how her story progresses in the next few books.

- Okay it put me in a pretty big reading slump not gonna lie. Like i picked up to other books in an attempt to get me to keep reading it. But the plot was so tense at certain points that it kept me interested. I did hate that the whole book was centered on war and politics like i could’ve cared less. Why did it take them 700+ pages for the war to happen in the last 200. I was not amused. Even though we hate Tampon i would like to give him a hug for being lonely now. Like it wasn’t his fault he had attachment issues well maybe it was but i don’t know if i would want him to drop his roll as high lord of the spring court to go be with luicien at velaris. But also how is Az and Luic gonna fall in love with Elain like im dancing on the edge ready to find out. What else are they to face now that hybern is gone ??? Idk if I’ll continue reading or not havent decided yet.overall it was an okay book I wouldn’t 100% recommend it though.

First and foremost, this is a book about war. While I felt the pacing worked well, the battle scenes did start to feel repetitive, and I felt myself eager to get past the action and on to some character development. Speaking of which, I felt as if the characters took smaller strides of development as compared to the last book. For instance,
However, what really let me down about the plot was the constant deus ex machina that seemed to be wrapping up the hardships of this book in a pretty bow. Instances such as
That all being said, I have to admit that I still enjoyed this read, and it had some lovely twists and turns that kept me turning pages. I felt invested in all the main characters, and I was cheering them all on from page one. This felt like a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. That, and it does leave room and intrigue for other spin off stories, which is a very exciting aspect of this in-process series!
