This was a fun read! I really like Bryce and her friendship with Danika. Ruhn’s character was well-developed - would be great if there was a book in the future dedicated to his story. The only reason that this is a 4 star - instead of a 5 star is the “who done it” at the end seemed a bit awkward and overthought to me. But then - it was followed by a ton of amazing action sequences, so I’ll forgive it! Maas is my favorite when it comes to action - she’s so good at it!

Amazing read! First part is slow and big on world building but the last 300 pages you can’t stop turning the page!

In true SJM fashion this book took me on a major emotional rollercoaster. As soon as I thought I knew what was happening, a new twist revealed itself flipping the entire book upside down. This was a lengthy read but worth every single word.
