Summary
Nesta falls off a cliff and dies while she’s on that terrible hike. There is also more of a plot, but honestly a big part of this is me getting mad yet again about the hike scene.

Summary
Time is no balm, no certainty. It is only ephemeral and brutal, a blunt blow. Most importantly, Nesta learns, time challenges all truth. And it demands you pick the pace.

Summary
The breaking happens three weeks to the day after Bryce Quinlan retrieves her parents from the House of Wind.
It is brutal, and as unapologetic as Lady Death herself often was, when fighting for what she believes in.
More than anything, it is loud.
Books are thrown around the private library, glasses are shattered with the intensity of a power that was supposed to have been bargained away yet lingered.
Unofficially (yet all but officially) confined to this place that was somehow both a beloved home and glorified prison, banned from her work in the Library or from interacting too frequently with her Valkyries, Nesta Archeron shatters into a million pieces.
Screaming and wailing, she breaks for hours, nearly throwing herself off the nearest balcony, before the lights flicker and a stray curtain wisps out to catch at her ankles, drawing her back.
Nesta Archeron breaks on a bright, sunny morning.
No one is there to witness it.
No one except a magical abode and its many, many ghosts.
The aftermath is as follows.

Summary
Nesta Archeron raised herself on Fairy tales, so she knew how they went. And when she was offered her first real choice, it's hard to deny the facts in front of her. She was locked in a tower, guarded by a dragon, and a prince was offering her a chance at freedom. The prince would never love her, and she would never love him. But she loved her freedom and she loved the idea of not hiding parts of who she was.
So she went.
And then the dragon huffed and puffed and... well... you know how the story goes.
*The Nesta agrees to marry Eris and Cassian loses his mind story that we have all been collectively craving and despising at the same time. Happy ending planned, but get ready for the A N G S T*
