I was never really a Nesta fan before this but now I understand everything. Nesta has gone through so much, like

Tomas raping her

and Feyre doesn't talk to her about it. This also reminds us how Elain's trauma was the back burner for the other sisters to make it all about what it did to THEM. In short, this delves deep into the Archeron family's trauma that we never got to see. I would have rated this five stars but the world building is mediocre compared to ACOTAR's. A few moments were really sad and we also learned more about the Illyrians and their misogynistic ways.

Apparently, there was also this fighting force of women called the Valkyrie. The steps to becoming a Valkyrie are used as the part titles and finally the sword Nesta embues with her power is the final part's title. In this, we see Nesta and her friends become Valkyries.
