I'm not gonna get into a whole detailed essay with this book. Read my previous reviews of this series for context.
It's no secret I hate Rhys and reading from Feyre's perspective, so this book was so refreshing in that I could almost forget they existed. Almost.
Overall, I loved the journey Nesta and Cassian went through. As someone who struggles with mental health, I think Nesta's healing was handled beautifully. I loved seeing her realize her love for Cassian and find friendship in Gwyn and Emerie when she thought she didn't deserve it.
Two big things I didn't like: Feyre's pregnancy and the fact that Nesta sacrificed her power because of it.
I love that we see Nesta coming to terms with the truth that she doesn't wanna be a cruel, ruthless queen. I even love that she makes sacrifices for family members who didn't see what she was going through- I think it really brought her story full circle. However, I hate that there was no other way for Feyre to have survived the pregnancy. For a world in which magic is abundant, you'd think they'd have figured out how to perform a C-section correctly.
It gets an extra half star over the other books literally only because Spicy Cassian and I didn't have to read Feyre saying "my mate" over two hundred times.
