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!

This book was emotional, and hopeful for those of us who have ever felt powerless. I love the strong female characters with the hearts of the broken and the determination of the warriors before them. I also loved getting to delve further into the “cold” oldest Archeron sister Nesta! I wanna be a “Valkyrie” so bad!
