3.0

It's slow to read for the first 2/3 of the book, it starts twisting and turning after that and the end leaves the reader a bit bewildered and anxious about the next book. Not her best, good. Hoping that the rest of the series improves. Still excessive use of the word F--- which is fine but it's like a word just discovered by a child and is somehow used at least once a page. 

Severe lack of diversity.

When I tell you I screamed, I laughed, and I cried you have no choice to believe it. The last line on page 798 made me so excited. I am ready for the next CC book and the next

ACOTAR book

. The spice is incredible, and I have definitely fallen into Maas destruction once again.
