I really enjoyed this read. After reading ACOMAF, I was wondering if this one would live up to that book. It’s a tall order, but I thoroughly enjoyed this.

I enjoyed that this book had a lot more politics involved, with all of the courts involved and getting to learn their backstories.

I’m interested to see what happens with the other queen and also Tamlin. Even though he had some redemption this book, he’s still not a great person and deserved what happened to him and that he lost everything.

Really happy with Nesta’s character arc this book and really liked getting to know her more as a character. I feel like we still haven’t really gotten to see Elain so we’ll see how her story progresses in the next few books. 

Spoiler

The ending had me sobbing when their dad showed up with the 3 ships and at his death. I will say, I felt almost.. disappointed that everyone else lived?? Like, there needed to be a larger sacrifice, something super heart wrenching. I really thought she was going to leave Amren gone. I knew Rhys wasn’t going anywhere so while it was hard to read, I wasn’t overly worried. I was pretty sure either Cassian or Azriel would be casualties and was surprised Maas wrote everyone to live.
