Reread January/Feb 2024: 4.5 stars. A few slower paced moments - sometimes I wonder if adding all of the POVs makes the plot move a bit more sluggish. But everything I said in original review is still true - SJM is a mastermind.
First read June 2022: 5 stars. My mind has been absolutely blown. I of course got the SJM hype after finishing TOG and ACOTAR, but this book (especially the ending) took her to the next level for me and she has officially become one of my all time favorite authors. How is all of this in her brain? How does she stay 20 steps ahead of us? How does she keep us guessing the entire book?
This is not the most coherent review but suffice it to say the story is expertly done and she knows how to embrace 'no minor characters' to a T. I cannot wait to see what she does next.
