I cried so much reading this book, I’ve never felt so connected to a character when it comes to mental health challenges and experiences like Nesta

Best book in the series, but it feels unfinished. Lots of threads left hanging.

I knew I loved the action and plot-driven parts of ACOTAR, but I didn't realize how much I like the lead ups SJM's explosive endings until this book. This book was more romance and character driven, while I prefer plot and a sense of tension to be the forefront. There was important things happening, but a lot of it felt background. I decided on 4 stars. It's probably my least favorite of the series so far. I did enjoy learning about Nesta, though. She's insanely badass, and her arc was well done. The knew characters and added found family were amazing as well. This book feels more like a setup for the next one, to be honest. Alot of things were unanswered and hinted at.

I would like to say that after the first couple of smut scenes, I grew tired of them very quickly. They were unnecessary, and I ended up skimming most of them. I think the book could've benefitted from being shorter and cutting a few of those scenes.

Hated every second of it. Mostly because I hate Nesta and she is annoying but it focused solely on character development and that was it. The plot didn’t make sense and the final 20% of the book was just pure chaos in not a good way.

As I read this I found myself inspired by Nesta and wanting to be like her so much it got me going to the gym again, I fear it’s highly unlikely I’ll ever be able to walk 10,000 stairs with my non fae knees and human asthma but I still want to try my best to be open and love my family and be a sick Valkyrie.
