I don’t care what anyone else says. This is a great book.

I couldn’t have cared two squats for Nesta prior to reading this book.

So tell me: at what point did my very heart become entirely on the line for her?

This is a beautiful story, woven together with a lot of unnecessary content.
I didn’t read the sex scenes, and I don’t think I missed anything. I loved the slow, painful journey that I went on with Nesta; it felt real and true and good and right.

Cassian knows her, and loves her. I love him for her, and her for him.

I love this tale for its echoes of triumph more than anything. I absolutely adore the Valkyrie, and could honestly have just read a whole book about their story.

I fear for what is coming. I can’t imagine an Elain-centric — or worse, Mor-centric — story, especially not after their stark absences in these pages. But I believe it is certainly coming, especially as we still have no clarity regarding Mor and Eris.

What a redemption arc SJM can write though; I am afraid, and I can’t wait.
