I really had no clue what to expect going into this book, and truthfully didn't know anything about it since I never see anybody talk about it as much as the first 3 books in this series. And after falling in love with the characters from those three, I was very hesitant to get invested in this one since I wasn't sure how I felt about Nesta as a character. But I'm SOO glad I read this one. This book hit so close to home, and honestly made me cry (or want to cry) multiple times, especially the last half of the book. There's just so much character development, I love the chemistry between characters, loved the friendships that grow throughout. There's just so much to love. My ONLY qualm about this book was part of the plot toward the end
I didn't understand why Briallyn was defeated so quickly? It felt like the whole book was leading up to some big battle and then she was supposedly defeated within like 5 paragraphs because Nesta happened to get her powers back. It just felt a little anti-climactic to me.
But despite that, I still loved reading this book and I can't wait to see future novels in this series, when they do come along.
