I really enjoyed the first & second book... I don't know what happened but this 3rd book left me a bit deflated.
What happened with Bryce? She seems completely different and soooo annoying. It become distracting and hard to keep coming back to the book to continue. For me, Ruhn, Lidia, Jessiba and Hunt carried this book. I think it would have been better as a Lidia Redemption Story like others have mentioned.
Ithan and Tharion were fine but I was skim reading through their sections and found their story plots annoying and weighing this book down.
Annoyed Part:
We get teased of the cross over with Feyre's world AND WE BARELY HAVE THEM. I liked Nesta for the first time from this book but... were no other characters available? Could they not be written in for part of the loooonng tunnel journey?
I have enjoyed all of SJM's book but this one felt off. I didn't enjoy the writing style and plots as much. I think it ended well.
