3.5
How was this so much better than the others but also so much worse?
Actual stars: 3.5
Format: audio, Libby
What I liked: Nesta's story is one I've liked from the beginning. When she was being awful in ACOTAR to going into the cauldron she was strong and steely. In this story we get to see her character develop, know more about her past and see her work through it. It really was well-crafted in a way that the other books didn't. Probably because we already know all the setting, so all the time could be spent on Nesta (and Cassian of course).
What I didn't like: Okay, this is going to sound prudish, but did it need to be SO spicy? I mean, the scenes were fun, but even when she thought of them later the language was vulgar. I loved the book, it would have been four stars for sure if there was just a little less description of sex. At points it felt like the plot was thinning because we hadn't moved the story forward in a while. I'm not saying I hated it, but there is a balance that this book didn't strike.
Who I'm recommending this to: Obviously anyone who has read the other 3.5 ;)
