ACOSF will always be a marmite book for SJM fans, and although Nesta might not be likeable she is absolutely relatable and therefore this will always get 5 stars from me. 

She’s broken, she’s battered, she’s bruised and she’s struggling. Yes she’s rude, ill tempered and she absolutely let Feyre down throughout her entire childhood. But let’s be real, she’s her mother’s creature (her own words), and our upbringing absolutely affects our adult lives. 

Nesta takes a JOURNEY in this book, one she needed to battle through. Although she can never undo her past actions, she can make amends and the first half of this book is her battling her demons to be able to just do that. 

P.S. the hypocrisy of Feyre locking Nesta in a house after some extreme trauma as it is what is best for her, when she hated Tamlin for the same reason? I love my high lady, but come on Feyre. POT KETTLE here.
