House of Flame and Shadow by Sarah J. Maas
3.0
The bones of the story were interesting, but the layers of so many POVs and info dumps made it less enjoyable. I usually like multiple POVs but it jumped so often for scenes that didn't really matter at the moment that it felt disjointed. So, I ended up not caring for most of the characters. Characters kept making choices that didn't make sense to the point it felt like it was added in there for conflict to make the story longer? More time really should have been spent on editing plot and the text itself. ranting now. it felt like all of the characters just fell into killing the old leaders? which could have been cool if it was actually all planned as a coup! but no. our band of heroes just accidentally took over every faction of their world simultaneously. UGH. also, no way there isn't another war after bryce declaring a democracy for the fae lmao especially once the antidote goes out to everyone which kind of feels like synth again
