This book is amazing. I can't explain it better than that. Nesta got her arc, it was beautiful, and so many people grew with her. I love it. 

Mostly because my brain ignores the little oofs. Like there was so much setup for some things, and then it was just dropped like it never existed. 
Nesta's characterization was slightly off, it was going the right direction and I aboslutely loved her journey, but it did seem like sjmaas screwed her over slightly in favor of Rhysand and the court of dreams - some things that she did really didn't seem like her, etc. There were also some problems with how Cassian and Nesta interacted, which sucked.

Overall I enjoyed Nesta's growth and journey to loving herself, but it did feel like it hit slightly off the mark. Still giving it five stars because like I said, there were several parts that seemed very off but I really, really loved Nesta's growth.
