Now that the Maas fever has subsided in me I can safely say, yup I was right, and I should have given this 4*. I don't even think I want to give it the .5 π
My relationship with this book is one of contented hatred. I got it spoiled and tbh it didn't measure up to the first book. Crescent City #1 will always be my favorite book of Sarah, and honestly, I decided to reread it so I could finally finish the series and do so remembering whatever the hell happened.
So now let me wait three months until I pick up the third book, bc the slump is slumping and this ain't gonna help π

OG Review: 5β
I didn't want to give it 5*, it was 4.5* rounded to 4* until page 740.
I got this book so spoiled, SO SPOILED, I hated looking at it, I dreaded finishing it, I just couldn't.
Throne of Glass is my favorite saga of Sarah but Crescent City made it's way to my Top 5 with book one, and I was so excited for book two that when I got spoiled all that was going to happen, I just raged.
So I'm here to tell you that those 60 pages I had left, were worth it. Worth it because a hope I had been harbouring after I read ToG has become a reality, and I just sobbed my way through that part π€·πΌββοΈ
I also kind of expected more about the book...? It felt like reading AKOFAF in some way, though not as badly because at least this time I kind of remember what has happened before the apocalyptic finale. But yeah, it's felt like all the good things were reserved for those last 60 pages.
Dont mind my rant here, I might change the ranking on this book when I reread it come CC3. But regardless, it's a good book that I really enjoyed and I'd really recommend you reading if you love Sarah's work βΊοΈ
