4.75 ⭐️/ 2 🌶️
I hate saying goodbye to these characters that I loved so much, but I’m hoping for some future overlap with the ACOTAR books to come! My 4.75 instead of 5 rating is because there were some things that felt left out of the ending that didn’t get addressed, and the ending felt like it was rushing to get closure on what was building for three books, yet skipped over a couple of plot points from previous books that are left open ended. I don’t know if there will be a book 4 (it doesn’t feel likely based on the ending of this one) so I’m not sure when we’ll get answers for some of those questions if at all. Overall it was beautiful and exciting and incredible characters, a great conclusion to an amazing trilogy!
