the Hybern death was very underwhelming. The entire book did a great job of leading up to the final battle, but it fizzled. It didn’t make sense how Elain made the final blow. Also confused by Amren’s lying. I don’t enjoy when revival is an option. As much as I loved Rhys, reviving him dismisses the sacrifice and emotional charge of his death.Spoiler

I really am questioning the pacing of this entire series with this one. Usually a four book series about a war has the actual war in the last book not the third book. It kind of feels like either this wasn't planned out very well or this was originally supposed to be a three-book series. I'm not sure which one I'm leaning toward more though. I'm left wondering what the last book is going to be about

(I've read the blurb and know that it's in Nesta's POV so I'm guessing it'll be similar to the second book where she works through getting over what happened during the war)Graphic: War and Violence

The author is very good at
capturing the main characters’ trauma as well as writing genuine horror elements into the plot where you least expect them.
Any complains I do have mostly stem from the previous two installments and differnece in taste between me and the author. I can respect that she focuses on other aspects of the story and characters and her disregard for things I would have love to see.
