A book on Nesta was not what I expected, but as an older sister with anxiety and a dead dad myself, it was a wonderful surprise. Yes, the book did have a lot of directions going on at once (Is the conflict war? Feminism? Trauma recovery? Spies? Love? Family drama? Yes to all), and yes, some of the inspirational parts were a bit cheesy, but it honestly didn’t bother me because ultimately I was invested in the MC. I loved the house’s role in particular and the development of a few other previously known characters.
I’m pretty disappointed there is no resolution or development with Tamlin or Lucien, not to mention Mor’s sexuality - hopefully we’ll get that someday in the future.
