On book three, you can definitely identify Sarah J. Maas’s writing tics. They are minor but repetitive, and that is the only reason I have knocked half a star off. As always, I love this story — Maas writes of heartbreak and triumph in the most enduringly human way possible. I have rarely loved a cast of characters so deeply as I love the ACOTAR cast. It certainly didn’t feel like nearly 800 pages of reading.
