THIS REVIEW WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS.
It took me over two years to read this book and I have no clue why. I was eager to dive into Cassian and Nesta's love story. I loved all the angst and little moments that they had throughout the series thus far. Perhaps I was a little nervous because when it really came down to it I just didn't like Nesta.
