I could not care less about Nesta… what an interesting thought by the author to take the most loathsome supporting character and make her a main character but this just doesn’t work for me. Nesta is consistently so proudly spiteful, but then acts shocked and upset that no one is nice to her? The specific examples I could give if I cared to… I can deal with disliking a main character if there’s a meaningful reason for their negative qualities but nothing mentioned in the series or this book so far even sort of allows for her attitude and hostility. 

There is an underlying theme of trauma throughout the book and series, but frankly the author does so little to discuss it, address it, or make me understand it (specifically, the caldron trauma). And this books is waaaay to long for me to be feeling like I’m missing the point. 

Maybe I’ll pick this up again, but at this point I’d rather just read a synopsis.
