Mixed feelings about this! Loved the whole series. But found myself just wanting to get to the end of this. It was pretty slow for the first 75%.
I loved the Valkyrie storyline and the

blood rite

- that part got really juicy. Sometimes with the ACOTAR series I’ve wanted the climax bit to last longer - the rising action almost takes too long & also a lot of explaining about stuff that happened in earlier books that I think we don’t need to go over again. I get it if it’s resolving feelings about stuff but I’ve noticed with SJM it feels like too much exposition.
Did like getting to know Cassian better - at times in earlier books couldn’t quite remember/distinguish the difference between him and Azriel personality wise. And tbh sorta liked Nesta better than Feyre in some ways? Although I did get sick of her self loathing and pity stuff

Didn’t feel like I needed the Feyre pregnant and having a baby storyline
