I still struggle with SJM's reliance on the "copy/paste" style of writing (the reliance on the same archetypes, tropes, and phrases, iykyk). I got really far in and nothing major had happened. The events didn’t have weight. It lacked any drive forward. There was so much that could have been cut from this book. No reason it needed to be around 800 pages. The last 150 pages were slightly more interesting. I kept wishing something would get better because I liked the first book in each of her series. But they all seem to devolve into copy/paste fae "porn" with a bit of a plot line. Same story, different font. Also, the "mate" crap is beyond old and SO repetitive 🤮.

Also what the fuck was that plot twist towards the end .
Maas seems to like throwing all the action towards the end and it’s gets really confusing . Also I really hate the fated mates thing . Hunt and Bryce chose each other CANT that be enough.. she hates her fae heritage like why would it make sense for her to be princess / queen now either .

2. It's still kinda weird to me how centuries old beings act like teenagers.
3. Everyone's been freaking out about the ending but I have a feeling you have to read ACOTAR to get it and I haven't lol.
