The only ACOTAR book that made me cry. Well-written with an interesting plot. I could not put this down

and this book definitely wins the best smut award for Nesta x Cassian

. The messages about hope sometimes felt a bit cheesy / over-the-top / in-your-face but it’s a nice message and not too constant. I guess my biggest complaint is that it felt like the plot was very elaborate and intriguing only for a lot of it to end up in a wash in the ends. But overall excellent, fun to read, with believable character development and relationships (SO important!).

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!
