An absolutely stunning read, and I fell in love with Nesta more than I already had. She's a stunning example of self growth and learning to face your past and fight through it.

The relationship between her and Cassian is beautiful, but im just upset that nobody was shocked at their mating bond being revealed. I suppose the others must have already known and let the pair of them come into it themselves, but I feel like they deserved to reveal it to the rest of the court on their own terms, not have it be a truth universally known.

I found it was very easy to align with Nesta, I see a flame in her that I could only hope to possess, I only have a bad imitation. But all her anger, her grief and darkness I felt it so easily through her. And I am VERY glad that she fought back. I HATE when characters just collapse to others whims, but I should have known Nesta had more steel to her than most. She fought every step of the way, first herself and then the obstacles thrown at her.

Even though the larger plot was weaker than expected, I loved following Nesta's journey more than I could ever have guessed.
