House of Flame and Shadow

Well it was better than the first two in the series.

All in it was a good story, well written and paced. It jumped between characters a lot (I occasionally forgot that someone had been left on a cliff hanger because we'd had a few different jumps before getting back to them).

It didn't grip me in the same way ToG did, I felt relieved to have finished the book and not bereft that the series was over. I struggled to like Bryce and Hunt but I think it's because I'm comparing them to Nesta and Cassian. It was nice to see Nesta's story continue and it was all weaved together in a very interesting and clever way.

I didn't like ACOTAR much the first time I read it and I suspect if I were to read CC again I'd probably enjoy it more but given the sheer size of the series I probably won't do that. I will of course read CC4 though.
