Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m so sad it‘s over! 😭 The end had me near sobbing. I fell so in love with these characters. This final book had me a bit wary at first because it‘s from the POV of the original MCs sister, with whom I had a love/hate relationship with throughout the earlier books. But her arc was beautifully done and she finished strong. I loved the development between the characters, the action was great, and the 🌶️ scenes were even spicier lol. Continued ⬇️

Up next… as much as I want to savor this and don‘t want this series to end, I‘m hoping to be done with this in a week or two, so I can get to my annual holiday reads. But I‘m excited to see what happens next for these characters…

Never reading or listening to these books again.

Next audible

I wasn‘t sure I would like this book, written from Nesta‘s point of view, but it was great. I could have done without the copious amounts of raunchy sex scenes, though.

I've flown through these books.
Onto the fifth now.
I love to match my bookmarks to my books. 🧡

Damn... this was a long book, and had moments of "let's just get over this shit" but the ending got where we needed to be.

Now I just need one final book to complete the series. Where's the Azriel love, Sarah J. Maas?

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this series for #LittensLoveACOTAR & now I have a book hangover of sorts, or should I say series hangover. I‘ve always had a soft spot for Nesta & I enjoyed this just as much as the others that are centered on Feyre. Dunno what to do with myself til the next book comes out. 😪 Would highly recommend this series! 5⭐️

Loved reading this one (and the series) with the #LittensLoveACOTAR group.

Thank you to @StayCurious for hosting #LittensLoveACOTAR
I loved this series and this was a great installment. It went from Oh Nesta 🤦🏼‍♀️ to Go Nesta 👊🏻.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch. 76-end: To bargain with the cauldron - how strange and yet with wonderful consequences for Feyre and Rhys and their baby. But what will be the consequences for Nesta? And has anyone ever thought what will happen if Nesta gets pregnant with Cassian‘s baby? Will she suffer the same fate as Feyre? No. Thank goodness she thought ahead and the mother gifted her with a bit of her own power. ⬇️

This was one of the better books of the series. Even though I didn't like Nesta in any of the other books of the series, she grew on me. Thanks to @StayCurious for hosting this series #Acotar #LittensLoveRomance. #Read2025 #SeriesLove25 @DieAReader @TheSpineView @Andrew65

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch. 73-75: Nesta is literally on her last breath, after holding the line - but can she hold out against Cassian? Being controlled by Briallyn? That‘s the worst thing that could have happened! And it will break her to have to kill her mate - even if she‘s defending herself. But of course Briallyn knows that, that‘s why she picked Cassian. Will Dawn arrive in time to give Nesta back her power? ⬇️

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.70-72: Nesta has to hold the line until dawn - with only one horrible opponent left - one who is controlled by Briallyn. At least Gwyn and Emerie made it. She helped them make it. Hopefully not at the cost of her life. Perhaps acknowledging the mating bond at last will give her a final bit of strength to get through it.

I really enjoyed this whole series! Read with the #LittensLoveRomance group, so I can‘t say too much, but this is an awesome installment…can‘t wait for the next one!

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch. 67-69: gosh things are getting tense, both for Nesta and the girls and Cassian and Az. At least Nesta only has to last until dawn. But Cassian and Az are now facing Koshei - how will they get away? It‘s sad that Nesta had to give up her title of winner - but shows such a growth in her character.

And that, my friends, is the end!
I loved and hated Nesta (for now). I wanted to throttle her so many times, but I enjoyed her character growth. And the ending, *tear*. I am really happy with how it ended.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.64-66: this kind of reminds me of the Hunger Games. But to be thrown in unawares in only a nightgown - that‘s cruel. Those males were hoping the girls would just die. Were expecting it. But not all the Illyrian warriors are mindless killers. I‘d like to learn more about Balthazar. And now Nesta and Emerie have to find Gwyn and hope she‘s ok.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.61-63: Just as Cassian and Nesta confirm what they haven‘t said before now - that they‘re mates - Nesta still pushes against it and Cassian says something stupid in the heat of the moment. Stupid enough that Nesta uses her bargain to make him go away. She flees to Emerie and Gwyn and the three are stolen in the night - forced into the blood rite. 😳⬇️

Saw this today and thought of #littensloveacotar 🤣At the bottom it says “what the hell is this?” But it got cut off

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.58-60: Nesta and Cassian finally acknowledge they are IT for each other - it was so perfect - and then the bastard leaves for a week haha and I was like, oh Nesta is gonna be mad. At least she has training to occupy her. She and the girls are killing it. Do you think they should do the blood rite just to prove everyone wrong? It would be the final test so to speak. ⬇️

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.55-57: I get that Rhys dislikes Nesta, but to pimp her out to Eris right in front of Cassian? Dude. Have some respect for your bro. Poor Cassian. No wonder he stopped her dancing spectacle with Eris. How could he stand it? Rhys has to understand that Cassian feels every feeling for Nesta. ⬇️

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch. 52-54: So I‘m reading ch.54 and things are tense and the Autumn soldiers show up and I say “oh Shit” out loud. Of course my inquisitive 3 yr old says right away “oh shit! What happened Mama?” 😝🤦‍♀️ So now we see a bit of what Nesta‘s sword and dagger can do - kill the unkillable. Pretty crazy. Maybe she can destroy Briallyn then. That was so creepy when they saw each other with the harp. ⬇️

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.49-51: the dam finally broke - Nesta needed to cry and she needed to open up, both to Cassian and to Gwyn. She can start healing if she lets things out and stops bottling it all in. Her confessions made me sad - I love that SJM has taken us on her journey. Now she just has to apologize to her sisters and admit her feelings for Cassian. Easier said than done.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.46-48: Eek-a pissed off Rhys isn‘t something to be taken lightly. Even Cassian doesn‘t joke with that temper. He grabs Nesta and gets the hell out of dodge. It sucks that he has to be in the middle. He loves his friends. He also loves Nesta(yes he does). Is she the Yoko of their group? I feel for Nesta - she‘s so angry and has a lot of self loathing. Can Cassian help her help herself out of that hole?

Apparently fairy smut is my jam 🤷🏻‍♀️ last night when I was supposed to be reading my next 3 chapters for #littensloveacotar I accidentally read to the end 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️ oops I think this was even spicier than the other books 🌶️🌶️🌶️

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.43-45: all it takes to become a stair-master is a healthy dose of rage. I‘d have been mad too. Nesta already feels like she‘s outside the inner circle. For them to discuss her and vote on things that so greatly affect her, it‘s insulting. Especially by Amren. Amren has been bitchier I find since she lost her powers. You‘d think getting some on the regular would improve her mood. Apparently not. ⬇️

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.40-42: well Nesta is certainly full of surprises- now she‘s a kick ass blacksmith? I find it interesting that Amren was trying to convince Rhys to take his place as High King with these magic weapons. Doesn‘t that go against Rhys‘ character - to take ultimate power? Or would it really be for the good of Prythian? Or was Amren - in her way - testing him? ⬇️

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.37-39: well - it‘s about damn time and also: 🪭🔥 - but I hate that Nesta is still all about holding herself back from Cassian emotionally. I felt so bad for him when he left afterwards. “Just sex” indeed. Good for Nesta finding her confidence more using a sword. She‘s getting there. The training was a good idea for her and all the girls.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.34-36: whew, these chapters were intense! And we finally see Nesta become Lady Death. I wonder if Rhys will let her keep that mask. An army of the dead may come in handy. Is Cassian ready for more of Nesta‘s dark power? Will he help her through it? Of course he will! That boy is over the moon. He was ready to jump in that bog after her. Wish we could all get us some Cassian.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
And just like that, the reread is complete.
I love Nesta‘s story & her character arc is so strong. I cannot wait to see what happens next with these characters - and I look forward to being back with them again on the next reread.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.31-33: Eek! The end of that last chapter! Nesta had better summon her powers - and quick. Do we think that those autumn soldiers are under a spell or have they defected from Eris‘ command? Does Beron know that his son has betrayed him? And what‘s taking Cassian so long to dispatch of those soldiers and get back to Nesta? This bog is creeping me out!

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch: 28-30: a lot to unpack from these chapters. First - and clearly most importantly- so glad the girls have a smutty book club. We all need one of those. Secondly, we get to see a glimpse of Nesta‘s power - and it has Rhys scared shitless - that tells you something. I loved how protective and worried Cassian was - the boy has it bad which is just what Nesta needs. ⬇️

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch. 25-27: Nesta is building her own inner circle with Gwyn and Emerie. She can be Nesta with them, as Cassian noticed. It‘s a shame she can‘t act better with her sisters but maybe there‘s too much history and trauma to unpack. Been there, Nesta, been there. She‘s slowly becoming Nesta with Cassian. Physical closeness will bring them closer mentally as well I think. ⬇️

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch. 22-24: My My, things are getting steamy in the House of Wind. This back and forth between Cassian and Nesta is fun to read. Poor Az, he‘s not the greatest chaperone haha. I‘m sure he doesn‘t want to be pulled into their complicated mess. I‘m glad Nesta finally got someone to agree to come to training. It‘s nice that she‘s focused on this task - a win might help her move on to the next.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.19-21: I‘m giddy with the baby announcement obviously- but it will complicate things for sure. Feyre won‘t be able to help in the war effort which will stress her out. And Nesta - sigh - she‘s the most prickly cactus. Thank goodness we can see her thoughts or we‘d still hate her. At least we know she feels bad when she says something terrible. I wish Cassian knew she cares for him and wants him. ⬇️

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.16-18: just when we think Nesta is making progress…she picks a fight with Elain. Of all people. I love that Cassian won‘t let her back down from him and what‘s bothering her. He won‘t give up - I think that‘s what she needs. But it might put him in a bad position of fighting with Rhys, who is definitely not a Nesta fan. ⬇️

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.13-15: Well, what a way to end that chapter 😅🔥I think she and Cassian both would feel a lot better if they got each other out of their systems. But I also think their attraction is so deep and their relationship so complex that there‘s no getting each other out of their systems. When it does happen though - wowza. ⬇️

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.10-12: finally Nesta pulls her head out of her bum. It‘s only one training session but every little bit helps. Cassian is so patient with her. I know he felt bad for saying that everyone hates her - even though Nesta provoked him. At least it seems they‘ve made their peace - for now. But what favour will she ask of him? Hopefully not something stupid like getting her wine. ⬇️

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.7-9: well. I think we could all use a House that feeds us. I want to go to there. But I‘ll need to fly in - I probably couldn‘t do much more than 100 steps either. So Nesta is having decent human conversations - she meets two Fae females, Gwyn and Emerie. I think these characters will be important to her story. ⬇️

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch. 4-6: Poor Cassian. If he doesn‘t strangle Nesta for her behaviour, Morrigan certainly will. Someone needs to put her in her place. To humiliate him in front of the Illyrians was low. Even for her. I wonder what will finally make her decide to train and stop putting up walls to keep people (mainly Cassian) out.

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5: Ch.1-3: I hate Nesta. I‘ve always found her to be a miserable crone. But man, SJM really knows how to get my emotions roiling. Now I feel for Nesta, damn it. I mean, I feel for all of them, but finally getting into Nesta‘s head is so powerful. We catch a glimpse of what she‘s going through. Heavy stuff. A therapist would make a killing. ⬇️

I‘m ready for #littensloveacotar

repost for @StayCurious:

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOSF Book 5 - a Fast turnaround time but I think we‘re all looking forward to the final (for now) installment in this series - we‘ll start on Monday and read 3 chapters a day until done - probably by mid June. I‘m tagging those that have expressed interest but please let me know if you want to join or be removed from the tag list.

Another epic tale that was full of action, drama, and smut. Too smutty for me, I skipped through those scenes after the first one. This was the story Nesta needed and deserved. I loved the Valkyries and their bond. Book #34 in 2025

As the prior books in the series ranged from all to mostly Feyre‘s point of view, this one almost reads like fan fiction with its laser focus on Nesta.

The fact that so much of the storyline then follows Nesta‘s forging of a tight-knit sisterhood by means of fae CrossFit and yoga, only adds to that impression.

Still ended up being my favorite of the series so far.

(Though I continue to cringe at the word mate. Every. Single. Time.)
