Meh. It was fine. Honestly I was bored at a lot of parts. I want more of Emerie and Gwyn than anyone else 😅
I found that there was actually not much of a plot - the plot was seemingly forgotten through most of the book so we could follow the training or just Cassian and Nesta fucking. Which got old. And the whole scenes of them hiking? Definitely skim read those and other sections... I still don't really like Nesta. I can understand her character and that she has trauma and still not like her. I liked the parts with Cassian but it was mostly him pining after Nesta and defending her when she didn't deserve it. The Rhys and Feyre plot was annoying. And even though Elain finally said something and stood up she was still pretty damn useless to the story... just wasn't for me.
