WTH? Ok, there is practically no information about this book except the title and the pinterest page and I am freaking out! I really hope this book is a thing because if the book is half as awesome as the pinterest page it is going to be an amazing book. I can't believe how much I am losing my mind over a book that only has a title XD (Also, I'm glad to see I am not the only one freaking out/obsessing about this book)

Did anyone find this book hard to read grammatically and sentence structure wise? Like many issues for me that I didn’t find in tog or acotar. For example - “Orion, his mother had named him. Hunter. He doubted she would have done so, would have so lovingly called him Hunt instead, if she’d known what he’d become.” Or “ Most Vanir did not find a challenge to more than fifteen thousand years of their reign amusing”.

On Amazon and Barnes and Noble, it says that the Spanish edition is 536 pages, but the usual is like 800. I thought Spanish books were supposed to be longer so I'm kind of confused (the length and width are the same/similar). I'm so lost right now so if anyone has the Spanish edition please let me know 😭?

I really enjoyed this book. I want to keep reading the series. But someone mentioned I may not understand the 2nd book's ending because there is something in the ACOTAR series that ties together. Question is, do I REALLY need to read ACOTAR series first? Because so far, I will not be reading Throne of Glass (boring) and ACOTAR is starting out that way, too.
