I honestly had more moments during this book than the first of being annoyed with characters and their poor life choices. It seemed messy and I felt Maas wrote the plot twists in this book rather predictably. 

That being said, I REALLY loved the world and lore expansion in this book. And I’m a huge fan of crossover series! This book left me satisfied with our FMC/MMC relationship, hopeful for new relationships, and SO excited to revisit old favorites.

I love the characters and relationships but why is this so long😭 My biggest criticism is that a lot happened but nothing was actually relevant to the plot (what even is the plot in this series? I haven’t figured it out yet). The ending though🤯 (I already knew this was gonna happen ever since Sarah posted the bonus scenes for HOFAS on her instagram🤩🤩)
