Finally finished the ACOTAR series!!! I really enjoyed following a new fantasy series and I think it has definitely opened up the world of fantasy and romantasy to me now!
This book was very very long and while it was good, there were a few things that bugged me.Firstly, I felt that the faster paced parts with The Trove and going into Oorid, were just way too short while there were a TONNE of sex scenes - when I thought we were going to really get into some tense action packed scenes, it was over and we were back to the spiral staircase followed by more sex. Secondly, and I remember saying this in my Wings and Ruin review, KILL SOME PEOPLE OFF. The whole point with all the things that happen to them, it's meant to be impossible to survive, no chance of them coming out alive, never happened in thousands of years, but somehow every. single. one of them survive. I was waiting for a big shocker moment and for one of the main character's to die, but nope - which in turn made Nesta saving Feyre and her baby way too predictable.
That being said, Nesta's arc was executed very very well. I was skeptical going into this, with the book being solely from the viewpoint of Nesta and Cassian but I actually very much enjoyed diving into other characters.
p.s Rhys as a character from the perspective of anyone other than himself and Feyre is actually so insufferable.
