Of all of the characters in ACOTAR, Nesta is the most fascinating. She bears so many scars of trauma and pushes everyone away who she thinks will judge her. Only truly deep love - love that bears all things - will heal her.
This is some of Maas’s best character writing and development. Character change and healing after trauma is not easy, especially when the challenges don’t stop coming. Maas keeps it interesting in terms of plot and the tension between Nesta and Cassian is sizzling!
