“You let her suck your cock in the middle of the dining room. At a table I'm currently using to eat my dinner. I'd say that entitles me to an opinion.”


I absolutely loved seeing the world through Nesta's eyes, through her perspective. Nothing against Feyre's story and all, but it was nice to have a break from Feyre and Rhysand on every other page (even if part of this one was still a bit of that.)  I loved seeing her work through her traumas, find her people and her strength, and show that incredible side to her. So many people hated her character before this book, and honestly, that to me is a sign that Maas wrote her perfectly. I love a good “now you hate her, now you don't” plot line for incredibly annoying characters to show that there's more to them than the surface. I also think having her matched to Cassian, and them having a little enemies to lovers backstory felt right for their characters. 

I will say though, that the last chunk of the book felt way too fast.. like I spent this whole journey following her growth and training and forming bonds, and then the last part flew by faster than a hummingbird on crack. Why was it necessary to speed up? The pace of the book was good, and I would have been more than fine with a few extra chapters to round out the end a bit more smoothly. That made me deduct my rating.

Well that and.. Feyre.. please.. why did you have to name the kid the most basic fantasy name... like of all the choices, my god... I rolled my eyes almost too hard.
