Boy, was this a SPICY book. 

I didn’t expect it to be this spicy, considering the past few books having a nice mix of politics and war in it. While this book did have some action, a lot of it was a romance, which I did enjoy a lot. 

I always liked Nesta, even though she was such an unlikeable character the past few books, but the character development in this book was so good. She really got her redemption arc, while it also worked to tell us a little more about the other characters. Her determination and attitude made her a really fun character to read about.

I do wish it had a little more of Feyre and Rhys just because I’m so used to their POV with the past few books and I felt there wasn’t much except about the baby. Regardless, I loved Cassian and Nesta’s hate to love dynamic, and was delighted with the depiction of Nesta and her female friendships. 

Their friendship was so wholesome and needed to kind of break up how dark parts of this book were. Overall, really liked getting to learn more about Nesta, and I hope the next few books announced lean into Elain and Azriel so we can get to know them more.
