Har lite hatkärlek för boken, precis som huvudkaraktären. Hatade henne i början men hon växte till en bra person under bokens gång. Boken följer hennes läkning från alla trauman och vänskaperna och kärleken som växer fram medans. Samtidigt som berättelsen följer de tidigare böckernas utmaningar och mörker.

This book made me love new characters, but hate old ones. I loved some parts, but certain lines detracted from Nesta's journey and I found myself hung up on those flaws. Certain plot points weren't able to make me suspend my disbelief. I will continue the series, but this book felt like a means to an end. I loved Nesta, but perhaps if some lines or scenes were cut, it would have been a stronger story.

The spicy scenes were great - and, not gonna lie, that's the entire reason I read this book bc I didn't like ACOTAR that much. I have some qualms with a lot of the rest of the story. The Valkyries were an unexpected and welcomed surprise.
