There were many parts of the book that I was really annoyed / frustrated with.

Mainly because I felt like certain plot points were introduced and then immediately dropped; Xaden was borderline gaslighting her for much of the book and she even said he gave her another reason to doubt her ability to trust her judgment; I felt like there was 0 character development for Xaden; all the plot happened in the last 100 pages (come on fantasy writers, please give us more than 100 pages)…

But damn I love this world and I love the characters and her writing. And holy shit that ending I can’t wait for the next one already but I need time to recover
