3.0

I understand the hype, as it is an engaging story. However the themes, including forced sexual relations and confinement/isolation, not to mention the sheer violence and torture, were less engaging. If you want to read SJ Maas, go for Throne if Glass. 
Also it took me way too long to realise this was a Beauty & the Beast retelling, but it is by far my least favourite one
