Bryce is the least likable FMC I’ve ever read. Ruhn was my main reason for continuing to care out the book. I trudged through yet another CC3 book.
Bryce was so nasty to everyone when they were all just trying to help for her need to be important. Personally feel like she missed out on a powerful ally in her dad if she hadn’t been so blinded by hatred. Ruhn and Lidia were everything. I felt so bad for hunt in this book, like honey, I’m so sorry your mate is such a raging b word. Also the crossover with ACOTAR seemed unnecessary and felt a little fanfictiony. If we were gonna do it we should’ve gone all in. Bryce didn’t even get to see Velaris. The fact that Cassian barely spoke felt strange. Also, that Rhys never came to yell at her in the end. We still didn’t get a Nyx intro.
