I think this was my favorite of the series. Flawed is more interesting than noble and brave and all that.

Wonderful narration of the audiobook.

This is the best one of the series. While I’ve enjoyed all the other books immensely (except the first one cause UGH) this one holds a special place. To center on healing and allowing yourself to believe you are worthy is a strong choice in the midst of chaos and potential war. To let yourself find your family when you believe you’re not worth one, is the hardest choice to make. Because it means choosing to stay and fight.

I knew this book would be a smut book, I’d been warned. However, I was not prepared for the amount of sex in this book. Easily over half of it is straight porn. That said I loved the story, Nesta’s friends, the House of Wind, Nedra’s journey to finding herself, and the humor. I feel like not having full chapter sex scenes every two pages would have made this a better book and a shorter read. Great story, but be prepared when you read.

This book made me love new characters, but hate old ones. I loved some parts, but certain lines detracted from Nesta's journey and I found myself hung up on those flaws. Certain plot points weren't able to make me suspend my disbelief. I will continue the series, but this book felt like a means to an end. I loved Nesta, but perhaps if some lines or scenes were cut, it would have been a stronger story.

Would have been five stars if not for that

unnecessarily traumatic pregnancy side plot.

But I really loved this book, the best in the series so far in my opinion.
