(MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS) I enjoying reading from Nesta and Cassian's point of view, and I even found myself relating somewhat to Nesta and her struggles. However my biggest issue with this book is the fact that it is, pretty much, P*rn. The amount of adult content in this book is alarming compared to the other books. And its not just a few steamy scenes or brief mentions, or moments like the famous chapter 55. It goes into GRAPHIC detail about the acts, so much so that I'd safely say this book has more adult content that 50 Shades of Grey. The book should have come with a warning. It's about 60% p*rn, with 30% training montage and 15% of Nesta arguing with people and 15% of actual plot. I don't mind some steamy scenes but the fact that SJM talks about FACE SITTING disturbs me as there is a younger audience that reads these books and the graphic and details scenes make it weird.
I also got bored with the plot, which was pushed aside for said explicit scenes and only really comes into play for the last 20 chapters - which isn't much considering there's over 80 chapters in the book.
The other problem I have, which I also had in the other books, is that SJM makes her characters too powerful, to the point that you never fear for their lives because their power is so great that they can get themselves out of ANY predicament - which makes things boring. SJM doesn't like to take risks with her characters and won't depart with any of them for the sake of good storytelling.
Don't get me wrong, I really like these characters and SJM is good at world building, but I feel as though she got lazy with this book, as 70% takes place in/around the House of Wind, and some of the story elements she's taken from real life and other stories, such as the Valkyries and the Wild Hunt, which feels like plagiarism to me as I know Sarah is creative enough to make up her own mythical beings.
All in all, I enjoyed this book, but let's face it, the book is little more than fan service

Price is AMAZING, fast delivery but I must say Amazon book sellers have no respect for books what so ever and it’s sad. Please take care of the books :’(
