I really enjoyed this! I'm a psychology person so I always appreciate when a character actually shows being effected by traumatic events. A lot of time it's overlooked or underplayed but Maas did a great job at highlighting it and it made the story more real for me and I got super invested. Tamlin is trash, and I really enjoyed how book 2 turned the tropes of book 1 on their heads. Also, the cliff hanger absolutely wrecked me. The last 30 pages had me STRESSED, which is just a testimatent to the wonderful story telling.
