Good character development. The ending was a cliffhanger but I still felt like the main premise of this portion of the plot was resolved. The book felt complete.

The different character POVs drove the story along in an interesting way, adding depth and complexity to the narrative.

I do wish there was more world building, but as the ending suggests, we’ll see more of that in the next book.

I appreciate the mix of platonic and love relationships. It gave the story more life and made the characters more real. It didn’t feel explicitly romance driven.

I like this series better than the ACOTAR series so far, because the main character isn’t as whiny and the unrealistic, overbearing love tri/quad-rangle isn’t as bad… yet. There are moments that make me cringe, times when nothing at all is happening of any importance, and repetitive descriptions (sometimes even in the same paragraph). The *secretive* riddles are easily deciphered the moment they’re read and the plot twists are blazingly foreshadowed.
