This book was very good! The character development was top tier. I appreciated that there was still an antagonist, but the main “villain” of the book was the bad parts of Nesta that she couldn’t acknowledge/forgive herself for. The romance was very well written and paced, Cassian is the epitome of romantasy boyfriend!! Getting to see Nesta’s relationships with the group grow throughout the book was sooo beautiful and made me cry at the end! Emerie and Gwyn are FANTASTIC new characters! Loved them and their stories. The pacing was well done, the threat felt very present, the character arc was heartwarming to experience, and I loved the symbolism of the House! That was a really nice addition that I loved getting to explore more. Hoping for an Azriel/Elain book next!
