Finally managed to slog my way through reading HOFAS, and I have thoughts.
In no particular order:
1. Ithan and Tharion don't deserve as much hate from the Maas fans as they get, and while I like Ithan more than Tharion, both deserve better
2. The crossover was the hardest part for me to get through (mainly because I'm not at all a fan of Nesta) but I also think it was a huge cash grab, and I like Nesta in this book more than I like Bryce (aside from the Nesta-giving-away-two-of-Prythian's-strongest-weapons-to-a-girl-who-betrayed-her thing)
3. If there is such a thing as reverse Character development, Bryce gets an A+ in that category. She presumably hates the Fae and yet continuously used her status as the Starborn Princess to get what she wanted, it was ridiculous
4. Don't even get me started on her treatment of Hunt in this book
5.SJM, I don't think is very good at writing queer rep, and Lidia's sons almost instantly calling her mom even though they've known her all of like, an hour, when they had been raised perfectly well by a guy couple, gave me an icky feeling
There's probably more, but that's all I can remember off the top of my head. I also got this book from the library because I refuse to give SJM my money because I DO NOT like her at all for a whole multitude of reasons
