So amazingly written but honestly at times I found it way too mysterious to the point where I wasn’t sure what was going on. 
Maybe that was the point but I personally didn’t enjoy being in the dark with no reveal

God I spent so much time thinking that Danika hadn’t really been around long enough for me to care that she was dead, and that Maas was kind of lacking in making me feel for these characters this time…. Then I spent the last half hour of the book fully fucking sobbing. Fuck you SJM… please don’t ever stop.
