The tandem read was a great way to read these two books! 

With Maas bringing other’s love stories to the forefront, this book focused on building the romance to the forefront while the groups were on their individual quests. 

So much of this book was the journeying. The world building was minimal, but the amount of things pulled from the very beginning of this series with such artfully placed plot devices was masterful. So really……… it was so good. 

I love that each character is given their chance at a happiness, no matter how fleeting.
