I'm not even going to act as if I'm not trash for Nesta. Or SJM in general.

I really don't like the Nesta haters online. Not because I think they're wrong (I actually agreed, they have a point, Nesta was an asshole) but because they judged her based on books from Feyre's POV. And I don't get how some of them flat out refused to read this because it's about a character they despise.

And because everyone talks about how much smut this book has I'm gonna talk about that too. And really, I enjoyed it. I get it if smut and erotica aren't for you but I find it fun. HOWEVER, SJM makes some very, shall we say, interesting choices. At this point they're just inside jokes about steel and velvet and makes it almost impossible to read the smutty scenes in public because you'll end up laughing on the ground.

If I'd have name a character I disliked it would be Rhys. That fucking idiot. You'll know what I mean if you've read this. If you haven't, then you should. I'm starting to see why there are people who hate Rhys.

But as I said before, I wouldn't stop reading this series just because the books are about characters I hate or dislike. These books are too good for that. I mean, I read 700+ pages in 3 days. My schoolwork could never.

I loved reading Nesta's story. This book brings up important themes about our society even in the context of magical kingdoms and Fae warriors.
This also made me wish I could be Illyrian or Valkyrien but lets be honest, I'd probably quit after a month of training because I'd still stumble.

I have seen so many mixed reviews for this book and I think it's because Sarah J. Maas has a very distinct style which I've seen in all of her books and I actually don't mind it. If anything, I find it at times hilarious.
