_why_so_serious_'s review against another edition

I was thoroughly disgusted. I'd rather this Nesta character died in the 1st book itself. Respectfully, ofcourse. It's co cerning how much anyone co ld be appalled by some non-existent idiot. (In this book's case, more appropriate will be "idiots" but I digress).

Nesta could have died in page whatever and I wouldn't have noticed. Seriously such a drag. If you are looking for something interesting and would keep your attention, this is not for you. Maybe it is,idk. Anyway I loathe this book's characters. I didn't even read halfway but still lost all of my three brain cells.

I knew this book would be a smut book, I’d been warned. However, I was not prepared for the amount of sex in this book. Easily over half of it is straight porn. That said I loved the story, Nesta’s friends, the House of Wind, Nedra’s journey to finding herself, and the humor. I feel like not having full chapter sex scenes every two pages would have made this a better book and a shorter read. Great story, but be prepared when you read.

I hope this wasn't marketed as YA, because the spicy bits are 🔥. I like these MCs better than in previous novels, and I really enjoy the focus on character development. The meta is there, but more in the background than a focus point for the main part of the book. 

The only thing I missed was

that we didn't get to see the mating ceremony in the end. And the... consummation part of the evening.

This is honestly my favorite book by Sarah J Maas. The pacing of everything was so wonderful, from the character development of Nesta, to the progression of the relationship, to the progression of the plot itself. It all felt very balanced and there wasn't too much of anything which I loved.
