2.75

Everyone from the previous books: No more secrets!

Literally everyone: NONE. NOT A SINGLE SECRET! WE'RE FAMILY AND WE DON'T KEEP SECRETS ANY MORE BECAUSE WE ALMOST DIED AND WE MADE VERY QUESTIONABLE BARGAINS!

Rhys: lol

This book has me very muddled. Definitely the best of the series so far, but with such glaring flaws that it makes the inspirational "defeat trauma with a good support system and healthy coping techniques, taking it one day at a time" pretty moot. I think everyone and their mom has said how they hate the
pregnancy plotline, which, they should. I mean you have flushing toilets (suspiciously avoided in this installment), but no practical midwifery? Ridiculous.
Also Rhys continues to become a worse and worse character with each book. He is talented.

Anyway, 2.75 because reading about Nesta's cunt so much eked away some of my soul that I'll never get back.
