I really like Nesta as a character. Like other reviews mentioned, she's a way more complex and interesting character compared to most of the main cast. The way the other characters treated her is so weird to me. Especially compared to Elain and Feyre. It honestly made me dislike them quite a bit.

I also feel like it was unnecessary that her powers were largly taken away. It would have been so interesting for her to be so powerful (also compared to Reese).

This book was a slow start for me. I'm not sure if it was just the idea of getting emotionally invested with Nesta or the character herself, but it took time for me to get into this one but when I did, it was awesome. I love the friendship between the Valkyries. I'm excited for the rest of the series! (If we ever get them!)

4.0

It was jarring to shift to Nesta's perspective so far into the series, and overall I'd prefer if it were a companion book in the same universe rather than direct continuation of the series. But, I really loved elements of this book -

the relationship between Nesta, Gwyn, and Emerie, and the training component (Valkyries). I loved the house having a personality. I liked seeing a lot more of Cassian.

The plot threads outside of the house - both the stuff with Briallyn and Feyre’s pregnancy were both meh to me. The Briallyn stuff just wasn’t super interesting, and Feyre’s pregnancy was weird and made all of those other key characters less compelling than in other books.
