I'd give it a five especially for the last 20 chapters. It picks up like ACOTAR does in the last 1/3 of the book except this is a much bigger climax to resolution so much more on the line. Where I get frustrated is wishing most of Feyre's dialogue was more than just questions. I know she's only a year into this world but someone please make her read the treaty or a history book about the war. something. i could picture this whole book in my head like a movie, would reread parts to sync up with the pacing of the visual I had in my head. I haven't been this immersed in a series since I read Twilight as a 12 year old. The tension, the stakes, the adventure, all 10 out of 10. The spice only enters the chat in the last 150ish pages which how people talk about it, I thought maybe it came way too soon. I'm glad it happened when it did. Sarah J Maas is amazing at building - the world, the tension, the stakes, the characters, etc.
