So so so good, really challenged my world building skills at the beginning but once I got a hang of it it went super fast! Of course the last 100 pages had every twist and turn imaginable and I loved every second of it. I thought no other SJM series could match up with ACOTAR for me, but I 100% fell in love with these characters and this world. 1,000,000/10!!

I was hesitant at first because for 800 pages… What do you have to say that requires all this?? Was it that serious to create an encyclopedia, babes??? 😐

Some scenes were unwarranted and felt like a page filler. Nonetheless, with each page flipped, my anticipation increased. I laughed and cried!!! Hunt…..The betrayal!!!! (I was rooting for you. We were all rooting for you🥹). Nevertheless, everything worked out. He won me back and Imma stick beside him 👁️👄👁️✌🏾

This was in many ways a book about grief, about losing hope, about feeling alone. I cried a lot and maybe felt a little bit emotionally manipulated (but isn't that why we read?).

But it's also a book whose message (said repeatedly, almost ad nauseum) is one of love conquering all.

And OMG it was so long. But honestly, with the amount of plot points we had to get through, it was warranted. The pace was pretty normal, not too slow.

This was a difficult book for me to get into, but once I just gave into the fact that I wouldn’t understand all the info dumping in the beginning, I had a great time. Lots of world building that was thrown at the reader right away. So much that i stopped trying to comprehend. I relied on the fact that SJM is a very repetitive writer, and just pushed through. There’s definitely a lot that I still missed, but that is okay cause SJM usually explains things well when they happen. And I’m reading in the kindle, so I can just search for names of things/characters in the book and go back to when it’s first explained. Hunt is very close to being number one on the book boyfriends list…. Idk what else to say about this book. I loved Bryce, she’s funny and strong asf. Some very millennial humor moments in this book, but also some I chuckled at. I had a great time overall, I could already see myself rereading this series and I haven’t even read the other books.
