I really enjoyed this book, but some parts were mildly annoying. There felt like a bit of a lull miss way, but then things ramped up after that. Still a good time, and I really enjoyed the crossover, and who was involved with it.

Looking forward to the next acotar book.

I really enjoyed the conclusion to the Divine Rivals series. It made me cry, and I loved how everything was wrapped up. It was predictable in some ways, but the ending did have me yell out loud.

Whimsical, cozy, and adorably hilarious. I was transported to the seas of spores and I didn’t want to leave.

So, I think the book could have been fleshed out a bit more. There was not a lot of understanding on how the magic system worked, and it felt odd that the main female character knew everything, but yet not. Instead of assuming the characters just knew how to use the chrysalis and having them learn through a training program might have been better.
