Too much smut. The plot was a mess-it's more 'oh, hey, here are these random legendary powerful items, find them in 100 pages max pls!'
Nesta should have not needed to use the romance to heal-I liked the sisters better. And the Blood Rite was thrown in. Also, TELL FEYRE ABOUT THE PREGNANCY!!!
And the IC were all horrible to Nesta except Azriel and Cassian. AMREN SHOULD NOT BE MORE COMPASSIONATE THAN MOR!!!

Really good read, though at some points I found the “spice” got in the way of the character development. But to each their own. It was a great read from different character POVs than the others. The ending had me feeling things.

Went into this hating Nesta and came out attached to her, relating to her and feeling like I healed some reading this. Give it a chance if you've loved the series this far in

5⭐️4🌶️(very descriptive scenes)
I went into this book disliking nesta, mostly for her actions in ACOFAS. I think she may be my favorite character now. Rhys (especially) and feyre took several steps backwards in their character development. Maybe feyre was previously an unreliable narrator since she’s in love with Rhys and his mate, but he was nearly insufferable in this book. He kept making horrible call after horrible call. Maybe we only get to really see his failures and shortcomings because of how he interacts with nesta. I don’t think it excuses some of his behavior though.

I had the absolute pleasure of falling more in love with cassian. I did miss mor in this book a lot though.

The Valkyries were the shining star in this book for me, I love their friendship and that they push each other to succeed. Girlhood at its finest. They even made each other friendship bracelets🥹

This book might be triggering for someone who is struggling currently with addictions or suicidal thoughts. I’d suggest waiting to read until you’re in a better headspace.

I laughed, I cried, I got turned on. What more can you ask for? Nesta is a nasty bitch with a heart of gold and I love her and relate to her and am so so proud of her. I cannot wait until the next one.
