This is the best book SJM has written! I loved all of it. I really loved how SJM portrayed deep grief and friendship. The ending killed me though.

Another hit by SJM. Starts off a bit slow and has A SHIT TON of info dumping and complicated worldbuilding that will SMACK you in the face, but once the plot kicks off, (and you'll know when it will) It's a rollercoaster. And one I really, really, enjoyed. Once thought I'd never make it past this book, but here I am now, writing this review. It is so worth it.

4.5 ⭐️ rounded up 
To think I almost DNFed this after 50 pages!!! Which is why I deduct half a star. The first few chapters are really hard to read, they’re nonsensical, lazy world building and make almost zero sense to the point where I felt compelled to put it down. Some friends convinced me it was worth the push so I started over and pushed through part 1, at which point I absolutely *devoured* the rest of the book. I didn’t guess any of the twists, I fell in love with all the characters, my heart broke and pieced itself back together and broke over and over again. Loved this. ACOTAR who?

Everyone says this book is hard to get through. The first half was hard, but I like world building so I enjoyed it. Light spice.

happy ending!!!
