This book was sooo good, and I thoroughly enjoyed the graphic audio. While this urban fantasy technically info-dumps at the beginning, it is written in such a way that you can breeze through the first 200 pages without paying too close attention and you can still get the gist of what is happening, with those info-dump ideas looping back. You are dropped into the world, which means if you get caught up on the info you might have a hard time getting into it. I love how Maas writes flawed characters that you still root for. And I cried multiple times in the last 30% of this book, so it was a huge winner for me. I can’t wait to start the next book!

Damn, this book had me sobbing so hard. I had to rehydrate after chapter 97.

In the beginning of the book I was so confused what was going on. The cursing was not my favorite, the dystopian setting I had trouble adjusting too and the constant sexualising of each other was bothersome.

But after some chapters I got into it, the setting, the story, the characters. This book was a chaotic rollercoaster. And I was here for the ride.

Of all the Sarah J Maas books this one had the most fast pace (I think) so far. Not as much spice. Which was fine of course. I don't think I will ever re-read this one but boy, it earned a place on my favorites shelve.

Through love, all is possible.
Light it up <3

I didn’t love it in the beginning because it just seemed like a magic mystery (if you like mystery/crime then you’ll probably like it!) but there were several good twists! Glad I finished it.
