3.5

I’m gonna have to give this book 3.5 ⭐️ instead of 4. Solely because I kinda hated Bryce in the first part of the book. The acotar crossover could’ve been everything, but I feel like Bryce made the wrong choice at every turn. Once I got past that, and some of the really cringey language (I don’t know why I noticed it more in this book than the other two), I liked the book! It was awesome seeing all the connections between all of SJM’s series. And SJM really knows how to tie all her loose threads up. I love how the complexities all get woven together perfectly at the end of all her books. SJM = queen of book climaxes
