This was arguably one of my least favorite books in the series (ACOFAS takes the cake there). This is only more obvious as it took me 2 months to finish because the first half was sooooo slow. While I never liked Nesta, this book only made me like her a little more.
I think I may have fallen victim to this book being so hyped that the book definitely did not live up to the hype. The action was good as expected from SJM but all the pity party that Nesta was doing (aside from the obvious PTSD and depression she was going through) got boring really quickly. In fact, it made me like Elaine more for her giving it back to Nesta. The book also gave me more appreciation for Cassian but he's still not my favorite bat boy for unrelated reasons 🤷🏽♀️
Anyway sorry to all those die hard fans of this book but it was not for me...the first three books were tons better in my opinion.
