Ugh this book felt so long. And while Nesta grows on you in this book, I still really hate her for how caustic she was for 85% of this series. While there is a plot, the focus of this book is Nesta’s growth and her relationship with Cassian. The second half of the book moved faster than the first half since Nesta was no longer insufferable. The story was a little predictable but overall a decent read. I wish there were more details on the three magical objects made by the cauldron, since it definitely took a back seat to Nesta’s inner turmoil. The climax of the story felt a bit rushed too, with an easy out.
