I knew I loved the action and plot-driven parts of ACOTAR, but I didn't realize how much I like the lead ups SJM's explosive endings until this book. This book was more romance and character driven, while I prefer plot and a sense of tension to be the forefront. There was important things happening, but a lot of it felt background. I decided on 4 stars. It's probably my least favorite of the series so far. I did enjoy learning about Nesta, though. She's insanely badass, and her arc was well done. The knew characters and added found family were amazing as well. This book feels more like a setup for the next one, to be honest. Alot of things were unanswered and hinted at.

I would like to say that after the first couple of smut scenes, I grew tired of them very quickly. They were unnecessary, and I ended up skimming most of them. I think the book could've benefitted from being shorter and cutting a few of those scenes.
