It's no secret I hate Rhys and reading from Feyre's perspective, so this book was so refreshing in that I could almost forget they existed. Almost.
Two big things I didn't like: Feyre's pregnancy and the fact that Nesta sacrificed her power because of it.
I love that we see Nesta coming to terms with the truth that she doesn't wanna be a cruel, ruthless queen. I even love that she makes sacrifices for family members who didn't see what she was going through- I think it really brought her story full circle. However, I hate that there was no other way for Feyre to have survived the pregnancy. For a world in which magic is abundant, you'd think they'd have figured out how to perform a C-section correctly.
It gets an extra half star over the other books literally only because Spicy Cassian and I didn't have to read Feyre saying "my mate" over two hundred times.

if you are uncomfortable with the possibility of a miscarriage or pregnancy issues, walk into this book with caution! also, strong mentions and allusions to sexual assault/abuse. take care of yourself while reading this book if those topics are potentially triggering.daisycantread24's review against another edition

The only thing I liked was the map.
They didn't reach out because they were concerned for her but embarrassed when she spent their money. Which I feel the need to point out, they have been paying everything for her for a year. I also find it unbelievable that none of the Inner Circle are sympathetic towards Nesta with her PTSD. The fact that the Inner Circle can't relate to her PTSD after having gone through what they did in the first three books and what others are said to have gone through before is completely unrealistic.
There were also better ways to get Nesta up to the mountains. The Inner Circle didn't need to trick her out of her house, steal all of her things, condemn her building, and give her an ultimatum where both options are threatening to her life(go to a place that is known for its misogyny or to a place where Fae are hated).
On a final note, A Court of Wings and Ruin had an ending. There was not hint of another book, besides it being listed on Goodreads. This reeks of an author only continuing a series for more money. I know authors get their money but I feel that if an author is going to continue to write about a world different characters should be the focus of the story. Yes in the first three ACoTaR books it was about Feyre and Rhysand and this was about Nesta and Cassian, but Nesta and Cassian also had important roles in the first three books.
