I love Nesta. There. I said it. I rly liked this book- maybe the most of the series!! The queen conflict was a little lame but I still rly enjoyed it. Still think TOG was better oops

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.

2.0

Sorry, I did not like this one. For me, only books 1 and 2 have been worth reading so far (because 2 is actually good, and 1 is a prologue).

I have never liked Nesta as a character. She's a nasty, strongheaded sister in sort of a cliche way; her headstrong reactions in dangerous situations in the earlier books just aren't believable. I also haven't really found her lovable, although this book

redeems

her in a predictable way.

Feyre is  flatter in this book, in which she's less of a protagonist. Most of the characters are a bit flatter.

The idea of Nesta's character arc in this book has some interest and depth to it, but its execution just didn't do it for me. Too many parts had me cringing or rolling my eyes (the

love interest

, the

friendship bracelets

- really?). This book felt younger and less sophisticated, clunky in its overt attempt to have a strong female protagonist.

Some parts of the end were intriguing, mostly the

Blood Rite

. The final

birth

scene is also somewhat engaging.

I'll still read the next book because I'm kind of in it with the series at this point, and in the hopes that it's as good as the second book. I hope it's not about Elain.
