If you’d asked me what character I’d like to do a deep dive on, Nesta wouldn’t have come up on my list. I really enjoyed her story regardless, even though Feyre is my favorite, she did deserve a break. I liked who Nesta made herself. I definitely had more questions about what’s next and I hope there will be more books (even if they won’t fit in my boxed set). 5 stars 5 stars 5 stars Am I a little biased? Well, Nesta is my comfort character.. that being said though, she was not my comfort character before this book! I heard a quote somewhere on Booktok: "You probably don't like Nesta if you've had to deal with a Nesta, but if you love Nesta it's probably because you are a Nesta" and I think that summarizes it great. Not everyone is going to understand her and that's okay, but don't write her off before reading this book because it explains so much of 1. what's happening in her head and 2. how she gets better! Those moments are the best in this book, her journey to healing and becoming a warrior. Does this book have detailed sex scenes in it? 100% it does Is this book a harlequin or smut book? absolutely not and I get tired of people saying it is. Do not be afraid to read this book because you think it's just a romance novel. There are so many resources if you want to skip those chapters too. Also, to the reviewers that were bummed it didn't seem like a good book to end the series on, this is not the end of the series! So don't worry about high expectations of plot coming to an end. There's still House of Flame and Shadow which is a crossover in the Crescent City series, and SJM has confirmed THREE more ACOTAR books are coming! So there you go :) Belongs to SeriesIs contained inAwards

HTML:Sarah J. Maas's sexy, richly imagined series continues with the journey of Feyre's fiery sister, Nesta. Nesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud, swift to anger, and slow to forgive. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will, she's struggled to find a place for herself within the strange, deadly world she inhabits. Worse, she can't seem to move past the horrors of the war with Hybern and all she lost in it. The one person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred warrior whose position in Rhysand and Feyre's Night Court keeps him constantly in Nesta's orbit. But her temper isn't the only thing Cassian ignites. The fire between them is undeniable, and only burns hotter as they are forced into close quarters with each other. Meanwhile, the treacherous human queens who returned to the Continent during the last war have forged a dangerous new alliance, threatening the fragile peace that has settled over the realms. And the key to halting them might very well rely on Cassian and Nesta facing their haunting pasts. Against the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance-and healing-in each other's arms.

Honourable mentions in this book have got to be firstly the ball when Nesta dances, need I say any more? And then when Cassian goes to visit Nesta to give her the Winter Solstice gift. I was screaming, giggling and kicking my feet reading it that I had to read that chapter again! Like um hello, a man customising a Symphonia with music that he knew you'd love, just for you to listen and dance to whenever you wish? I'd swoon - and marry that man! Cassian is the standard in men.
The interesting part of this is that so far the books have been written in first person, from Feyre's point of view. This one is the first of which to use third person, with insight into both Nesta and Cassian's point of view, which is something I prefer. It gave an interesting viewpoint of looking at the characters such as Rhysand without looking through Feyre's rose-tinted lenses and overall bias.
I was looking forward to this story the most because of Cassian (of course), though was skeptical about whether or not I would enjoy this because I have never been sure whether or not I could like Nesta. I could not have been more wrong. I have never resonated so much with a character in my life: her struggles, the depths of her despair, but her resilience to keep getting up and keep going, against all odds. This is THE best ACOTAR book. The only unbelievable thing (yes even in a fantasy book) is the wingspan and being able to go down 10,000 steps - and back up! ( )
