But first, can we address how useless Ithan became throughout!! Even if we ignore all the crap with the Fendry's Heir that he accidentally killed - he had one job to get an antidote to Bryce and Hunt. He failed massively.

And I won't lie, I had super high hopes for this book considering how the last ended. I also secretly hoped Aelin would appear 💔. 

But I still loved the found family, the banter, the world building, and all that Sarah J Maas had to offer.

The ending wasn't something I expected... Not sure how there will be room for a book 4? But if there is, I can only see it being around Tharion, Viper Queen, Ithan and Hypaxia? 

And I am gutted we didn't get any Feyre and Rhysand 💔💔💔💔. And whilst we got Nesta, I really, really wanted Cassian there too. Basically, more ACOTAR!
