I'm not okay.

I really enjoyed the premises of the book. The glaring issue for me was that the MC obviously has some past trauma of issues with her mom that, while obviously don't need to be resolved, they weren't even really touched on? Ox had some good character growth, but Emmie really didn't have any.

So I have sat on this book for a little bit, and I have to admit, some of it fell flat. I think the fact that we waited so long for this book, everyone's expectations were just too high. I'm happy with the ending, the conclusion, the aspects of TOG and ACOTAR were great. I think I hyped it too much in my head.

There is a few story lines that kinda made me go ‘huh'. Tharion's and Ithan's being the main two. The rest was just Bryce doing a lot off page, and then us finding out what a good character she is after.

A little repetitive because it was the first book in Casteel's POV. But it was a fun read! Makes me excited for the rest of the series.

I now understand why this is a lot of people's favourite in the series. This one out of all of them kept me enthralled until the end. Chaol had his redemption.
