That aside, this book was necessary cause I did not like Nesta as much before but this book and her growth made me reflect on myself too and appreciate, also, look forward to her growth more.

Bioessentialism, too. If you unnecessarily think too much about it. 🙏decklededgess's review against another edition

me a sjm in a deep south accent: i can’t quit you
anyways this book is proof sjm books wouldn’t be getting so much shit for being “toxic” if they were simply categorised as adult and new adult like they should have been since like throne of glass.
all the queer baiting/lack of diversity/insensitive oversight on ableism/lack of diverse bodies etc all of that stands. in fact in this one she regressed and i honestly thought she forgot mor was selectively lesbian from acowar.
anyways. there are better books to read but these would be easier to ignore if teens weren’t reading this.
