I thought this book was pretty mid. SJM is good at creating a fantastical world, but I find the romantic relationships in her books to be somewhat problematic. ACOTAR was no exception. While I liked the overall plot of the book, I could not get on board with the possessive and over-protective nature of the male love interests. I know there is a lot of hype around the series, so I’m willing to continue on to the next book in hopes that there is some character growth!
