I really did like this book, there’s not much of a plot, but it’s just a short story about how everyone is doing after the war & the events in the first 3 books. I liked being able to see how everyone is doing after their HEA, but you could still see how much they were all struggling with the war & everything that happened. 
I would still recommend it even though it doesn’t necessarily add much to the the series as a whole; it was a fun little read.

It was alright...not the best, not the worst. I felt like we were just going through the same conversations and thought patterns the characters have had in the previous books without adding much of anything new. Normally I LIVE for more of the “mundane” or behind the scenes details in worlds and characters I like, but this wasn’t it for me. The Nesta and Cassian pov’s were decent though so I haven’t given up on ACOSF yet.

a nice little bridge between the absolute insanity that was acowar and the next book acosf. i'm so excited to continue into the next book, and this was a sweet break that tied together loose ends before shifting narratives. i also really liked the developments in certain characters and how those developments were so expertly written. sjm you have my respects always
