So so so good, really challenged my world building skills at the beginning but once I got a hang of it it went super fast! Of course the last 100 pages had every twist and turn imaginable and I loved every second of it. I thought no other SJM series could match up with ACOTAR for me, but I 100% fell in love with these characters and this world. 1,000,000/10!!

I was hesitant at first because for 800 pages… What do you have to say that requires all this?? Was it that serious to create an encyclopedia, babes??? 😐

Some scenes were unwarranted and felt like a page filler. Nonetheless, with each page flipped, my anticipation increased. I laughed and cried!!! Hunt…..The betrayal!!!! (I was rooting for you. We were all rooting for you🥹). Nevertheless, everything worked out. He won me back and Imma stick beside him 👁️👄👁️✌🏾

4.0

This was in many ways a book about grief, about losing hope, about feeling alone. I cried a lot and maybe felt a little bit emotionally manipulated (but isn't that why we read?).

But it's also a book whose message (said repeatedly, almost ad nauseum) is one of love conquering all.

And OMG it was so long. But honestly, with the amount of plot points we had to get through, it was warranted. The pace was pretty normal, not too slow.
