Not my favorite SJM book, but also not my least favorite.

I’m not super happy that the “female mc gives up her crazy powers to be happy” trope was used yet again in one of her books, so that was a HUGE downside for me.

Very slow to build - almost unbearable, took me about 550 pages and the encouragement of my friends that this book does, in fact, get better, for me to read it. Overall, worth the read - definitely alludes to what seems to be important information for later - but it was easily my least favorite ACOTAR book and probably only second to Tower of Dawn in terms of SJM books I like the least.
