  glad I didn't support this with actual money because uuhhh, what in the everloving fuck was this? she's done Nesta so dirty. and Rhysand is one of the 3 worst men - oh sorry "males" - in this series. also, who fucking thinks you can "heal" trauma by having ridiculous sex at every opporturnity? especially trauma involving r*pe? I swear to god, I hated every single sex scene in this book. also, what was Cassian's personality again besides being either horny or hurtful towards Nesta? and that scene where they talk about being mates - how awfully he treats her, how he's forcing it upon her, how she doesn't get a choice to not use that word or do a ceremony or whatever - way to treat a survivor of r*pe and other trauma. way to fucking go. last but not least. how dare Nesta be stronger than mighty, shiny Rhysand, savior of everyone and their mama? ofc that had to be changed at the end of the book. how dare a woman - oops "female" - be stronger than almighty fucking Ricepan.

If I have to read the word female or male regarding a person ever again I'm going to combust. this is awful.
