Better than the first and second books. 
This book could have been probably 200 pages shorter. I wish most of the book was like the last 1/4th. 
Sarah Maas has some really good moments, but she can never just let them be comforting or sad or anything, she seems to always need to add an intimate scene. I find her writing lackluster and bland as well. I find there is a lack of vocabulary and find her word choices repetitive. 
Some of the plot is well done, but this book had many cop-outs, which is unfortunate because she could have taken the plot in many different directions that would have been amazing.
