3.5 stars rounded up.

This was so fun. Perfect creature feature horror movie vibes. I just wish there was more lore to the Cicadas!

I want to give the first half of this book a 3 and the last like 30% a 5 so we've settled on 4.5 stars.

For the hype around this one I thought it would be so much better than ACOTAR and I think that's where I got let down. Don't mistake me, it is better than ACOTAR - the world building and character development and even the plot had a lot more depth but it was just that little bit too overhyped.

I think my biggest problem was with the pacing. The first part of the book was such a snooze fest I'm so sorry I didn't give a shit about her being in the spring court and her inner turmoil about leaving Tamlin literally was such a drag. Also why do I need to be told every time she changes into leggings and an oversized sweater? I just feel like so much could've been shortened for better pacing leading up to the climax. But I have to give it to SJM, the ending was so good. Like she really knows how to tie it all together and leave you wanting more and I'm so keen to read the next book. I just hope the pacing gets better because those books are thickkkkkk

A one star feels so harsh but I did not vibe with this at all

Bro I'm so scared right now

terrifying
