Absolutely loved the character growth and life lessons, I do wish there were a few more quiet casually intimate moments between Cassian and Nesta though.

By far the best of the series. There's actual chemistry between the two main characters and their personalities are much more present. Also the smut levels are just excellent

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.

Oh man I want to read the whole series from Nesta's perspective! This one was a slower start for me but there's so much solid character work in the first half that I can't fault it at all. Can't wait for the next book!
