Wow, so much happens in this third book of Crescent City series. I’m glad that Sarah J. Maas doesn’t cram it all into one chapter to make the book shorter or cut off the book to not allow for everyone to have their endings. It is well drawn out in a good way.

The twists and turns kept going. It almost felt like whiplash after every chapter with everything that was happening. This was definitely more of a page turner for me than the last book in this series.

I loved the character growth and how they still had more potential to grow even after the story was finished. I really fell in love with the side couples and their individual intertwining stories.

The toe dipping into the world of ACOTAR was a nice addition to the story. I loved every moment of it. However, it wasn’t a ton of overlap so I wouldn’t get your hopes up a ton if you’re expecting a lot.

The leveling up and action in this book almost remind me of video games in a good way. I think for those out there who love video games and books may enjoy a game like this. Maybe something to think about.

Hunt and Bryce’s relationship dynamic wasn’t my favorite. But it felt more real maybe in that way that it was so imperfect. I’m glad they got their crap together to work together and be okay in the end.

The way Bryce handles things at times was a little frustrating as well. However, I loved how she grew and changed and adapted to what she needed to become. I do wish she would have been like more of a power figure in the end as it’s hard to picture her going back to such a simple life after all of that.

I’m really glad I read this series. My sister recommended this series to read before the Throne of Glass series so that’s my next series to conquer. I’m excited!
