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.

I'm not gonna get into a whole detailed essay with this book. Read my previous reviews of this series for context.

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.

Overall, I loved the journey Nesta and Cassian went through. As someone who struggles with mental health, I think Nesta's healing was handled beautifully. I loved seeing her realize her love for Cassian and find friendship in Gwyn and Emerie when she thought she didn't deserve it.

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.
