A reluctant 2 stars for the fourth book in a series I have loved so far but what a disappointment this book was in comparison to the other 3 books I have read.

2.5 stars for a book that was too short and had very little content of any real substance, yet the hints of Sarah Maas's brilliance are still there in the plot building that no doubt she saved for her final book of the series.

I think she should have left this book out of the series or combined with either book 3 or 5.

My takes from this one
1. Feyre and Rhys are rebuilding their Court after the devastation caused by the last battle
2. Elaine is still offering very little to the story and
3. Nesta is still sulking.

Yawn, snooze, sleep and can only dream of the book it could have been, but wasn’t

Diane Wallace Honest review, Margaret


message 4: by Debra (new)

Debra Sorry it was a disappointment, Margaret! I hope you current book is more enjoyable.


La Crosse County Library Sad to see this let you down. I hope the main part of the series doesn't get bogged down by this addition.


message 6: by NZLisaM (new)

NZLisaM I’m the only one who couldn’t get into this series. I tried the first book twice, and only made it halfway both times. From what I’ve heard even devoted fans didn’t think much of this instalment.


Nancy (playing catch-up) This was my least favorite as well. Hopefully you enjoy the next one more!


message 9: by Debbie (new)

Debbie W. Oh man! That sucks, Margaret! Hope the next one rates better for you!

Ellie Spencer (catching up from hiatus) I am so sorry this didn't live up to the other books Margaret! I have been really excited to read this series! Thank you for a great and honest review 🥰


Jasmine This was definitely just a filler! Hopefully your next read works better, Margaret!

Margaret M - (having a challenging time and on GR as much as I can) Ellie you could leave this book out entirely and you would miss nothing. Compared to the others just not good. Thank you so much for your comments as always 💖

Thank you for your comments and your sympathy Kerrin😂😂. I don't think this one should have been released 💖

Thank you for your comments. One more to go but the next one did win best Fantasy 2021 if that is anything to go by 🧡

Thank you for your comments. That doesn't surprise me that you liked this one less too

Thank you for your comments Debbie. It couldn't be worse so I am already positive 😂

It must have been needed to fulfill some contractual obligation because you would never have damaged the brand otherwise. Thank you so much for your comments Jasmine 💖


Margaret M - (having a challenging time and on GR as much as I can) I hope you enjoy this one Lacie more than I did ❤️

Thank you Terrie. It is a surprise to be so disappointed given how good the other books were. Anyway onwards and upwards 😁❤️

I have loved the 3 so far. Nesta is just not doing it for me so I'm not rushing to the last book but I have loved this series. Thank you for your comments Warda 🧡

Margaret Mary Great review Margaret, totally agree with you. I was really disappointed. I was so hyped up with expectation having read the previous books in the series, felt the storyline could have been shared with the previous and latter books in this series.


Margaret M - (having a challenging time and on GR as much as I can) Thank you so much MM, even looking back it’s a pity this one book has disappointed out of everything SJM wrote 💖


message 35: by Esta (new) - rated it 1 star

Esta Oh Margaret, I'm with you on everything all the way. It's such a shame that SJM butchered this otherwise fantastic series. 💔 Did you read the next one in the series? Tell me, was it worth it? I will have a look at your review. 😍


Margaret M - (having a challenging time and on GR as much as I can) Unfortunately you have read the best two in this series books 2 and 3. I wasn’t a fan of Nesta so the last book was a bit of a disappointment too but still a great book. Much better than this one though 💖

Good to know it was still worth it to read the last book. Huge relief actually! Thanks so much Margaret 💘
