Brilliant book! It was beautifully written and great use of POVs from different characters. I loved that it wasn’t war focused, it felt like we got to see how each character lived straight after the war for prythian. Great book just what was needed after ACOWAR

I was gearing myself up to not like this book but I find it to be really entertaining. I think it allows a break from the sadness that was the last book. It was really interesting to delve more into other characters and to see how they try to find happiness post war and death.

I enjoyed the graphic audio version of the book a little more than just reading the book. It made it a little more entertaining. The switch from first person to third person limited each chapter still throws me off and even more so in this production with the narrator.

Parts of this were really interesting, but overall it just wasn’t my jam.

Was this fluffy and fun and essentially just a set up to transition into ACOSF…? Yes. 

Did I devour it and kick my heels while reading it anyway. Yes, yes I did.

Out of the series I've liked this one the least. Still a good read but I just didn't love the plot and couldn't find myself to care about most of the characters. The only character I really enjoyed reading about was Elaine, I'm usually more invested in the other characters.
