Okayyyy, where to start????
This book about Nesta has been a long time coming. Unlike more than half of the ACOTAR community who hate Nesta, I actually adored her from the beginning of the series. Starting from the first chapter of A Court of Thorns and Roses until the very last of A court of Silver Flames.
1) Her character is the most complex one in the entire series. She's someone who I relate to. From having the feeling of letting everyone down and shutting them out to regaining her strength in the most unexpected times that it even takes her by surprise. ACOSF made this abundantly clear now how her headspace is working. I loved every minute of it! Of course, I also understand how people dislike her. And honestly? It should be that way. She's a very 'grayish' person. She's not all good or all bad, and it would be abnormal if everyone likes her. That has never been the intend of SJM in the first place.
2) Now about the book. Can I just dieeeee? I'm very surprised about the story. Somehow very fresh to see the Inner Circle from a different set of eyes. I had to read everything in one sitting (thus if I make mistakes, please don't come for me, I barely slept last night...) and devour it completely. I won't spoil anything, but man the SMUTTTT is what I lived for! The book reads incredibly and the world building, tension and new characters are written as to how only SJM can write. It's a necessary book to read if you want to hang a little bit longer on to the entire ACOTAR-series. Oh also, a must-read if you're into SMUT heheh.
3) We also (FINALLY) get to see a lot more of Cassian! I loooooooove his character. He's my favorite male in the entire series too (sorry Rhysand stans) and has absolutely NO FILTER which basically makes him an open book to read for everyone. His emotions are difficult to control when he's around the people he loves, but he will do everything to protect them. Cas is respectful and understanding of my smoll bean, Nesta, and that's all I wanted for her.
All in all, a good book and I cannot wait to read the last 2 books of the series (PLEASE SJM DON'T MAKE US SUFFER AGAIN FOR 3 YEARS!!!). 5/5⭐️'s!
xoxo Peace out,
Elke
