I really enjoyed it! I was expecting it to be awful after seeing reviews online. However, this book tied all three SJM worlds together and led to wildly interesting theories. The inclusion of acotar characters had potential to be cheesy but I think it’s super important what view we got of those characters and which ones were showcased. Were there times where I needed Bryce to chill out cause it’s been A WEEK? Yes. Was she overly mean to Hunt at times? Yes. However, there’s a lot of criticism in the book when we still have future books to wrap things up. Chill out everyone. 

Also can we talk about Brannon, named after Lydia’s line? Dude. So excited to see where this goes. Power to the “world walkers” and firehearts.
