This book is very similar to ACOMAF, but with Nesta in it. I might be scared to read some long books but not by SJM. 

I love a mental health troupe and Cassian and Nesta have an amazing love story. I appreciated that this book wasn’t geared towards YA audience. It made the themes hit harder and the parallelism to ACOMAF showed that.

why couldn't they just call the babe a baby. like everytime i read that word: cringeee.

also i think the ending was hurried. like briallyn was this big looming presence but in the end she was present for like one chapter. sjm just needed a villain for nesta to conquer.

loved nesta's journey. although her beating depression with meditation was annoying. because i know it hasn't worked for me so im jealous she was able to do that. ah yes, and with rigorous exercise. sjm's take on healing depression is this book basically. have a good book, train, meditate and have friends. oh yeah and kill a couple of people.

The writing is simplistic and many phrases are reused, I may have enjoyed a more complex style. However reading this book was easy and entertaining, and felt like home. I’m sad to have finished the series.
