🌟 Spoiler free review 🌟

So I’m going to be honest, this was not my favourite SJ Maas book by a stretch. It felt a lot like a filler book to me and maybe that’s the point…to build up to what the next one will be. I know SJM said they were all meant to be read as one big volume so maybe my opinion will change after the next release. 

It took a while to get into. The writing felt a bit different and I struggled with the amount of POVs. It also felt very repetitive at times. By half way through though I felt as if it had found its stride. 

I was expecting a big cliffhanger but I was kinda underwhelmed by the ending. Especially after seeing other people’s reactions.

Of course I’m looking forward to the next one and this one does start to set up for what may happen next. 

I would definitely recommend reading Crescent City before this or at least a wrap up of the books if you don’t want to read that series. 

Impatiently waiting now for ACOFM 💫
