4.75

I only marked a 4.75 because of some tangent plots that had some inconsistencies but overall this is the first book in the series that managed to deliver a meaningful message to me. The others were fun, they stabillished a great world and introduced great characters and a great romance, and they dabbled in some reflection over trauma, healing and hope, but this one almost teaches you the tools for you to overcome it. This book challenged me to reflect on why i hated Nesta so much when starting the book and made me draw some parallels with my own life. Some moments, even if they felt a little out of place in the plot, were beautiful and made up for it. One of them,
the moment where Nesta, Emerie and Gwyn share their stories and solidify even more their friendship over their acceptance qnd understanding
was simply necessary. When Nesta
told Feyre about the threat to the baby and Cassian took her to the woods to hike until the lake, and how she finally broke away that fortress she built around her and laid everything out there
, I sobbedm I was reading on a bus, it was very embarrassing. All in all, beaufiful book.
