Loved it. Might be a tie to my fave WoF book so far, book 2. To me there were no "stagnant" moments in book 2, but for me book 4 in the middle felt a bit slow but understandable. Part of me felt a bit like the "what's gonna happen?"-type mystery trope is getting overused in the series for a bit. In the end it didn't really feel rushed which I appreciated. I love the connection of the NightWings and RainWings between book 3 & 4, and the flow of things are very clear and simple between the books. I also like Starflight's character "development", but I would describe it more as character "realization". I also like how they didn't go with the trope of not telling their crush how they felt or smth similar to that. I really liked Starflight's character overall. Based on the time gap of me reading the 4 books, my opinions of the books now might be different. I might even appreciate Starflight's character more right now than Tsunami's or Glory's. Based on my memory, I appreciate Clay, Starflight and so far Sunny. I think she is one of the best characters in the book. ππβοΈποΈπ¦β¨ I also personally think that Ma'am Tui is good at worldbuilding and describing things visually ^^ ππΌππΌπ
