Let me try to put my feelings into words. So, Nesta does show so much growth in this book, and I absolutely loved her friendship with Gywn and Emerie. Those scenes were absolutely some of the best scenes in this book, Nesta training with them and forming friendships. My favorite plot line of the entire book.

There was also great chemistry between Nesta and Cassian, and their evolution throughout the book works really well. Instead of just telling Nesta to get over everything, Cassian is so incredibly patient with Nesta and gives her the space that she needs. Let's her work through her trauma the way that she needs to. Those emotionally intimate scenes where Nesta finally lets down her walls were some of the best scenes in the book.

Despite that, there were some things in this book that made me cringe a little on the inside. Like how terribly everyone treats Nesta, for most of the book. She has PTSD! Also the whole thing between Rhysand and Feyre. I won't get into too much because spoilers, but there was some stuff there that didn't sit right with me. Maybe I'll explain more in a blog post sometime!

Anyway, the plot itself wasn't too surprising, as it fits the normal SJ Maas plot formula. Overall, this book was a bit all over the place for me. Not my favorite SJ Maas book, but it did have some good moments in it.
