It's hard to rate this book... I quite liked the main plot (Nesta's) and mentally skipped the other big one (the new even bigger threat). 
Can't really say much without spoilers, except that the friendships were the best part of the book and the spicy scenes were good too. So now spoilers:
I do not like the pregnancy plot, didn't like it at the end of the last one, hate it more now, also Rhysand and Feyre are going to be awful parents, they made the pact of dying together without even thinking about their child. 
I did enjoy the romance aspect between Casian and Nesta (probably enjoyed the sex scenes more than the romance itself but I'm not mad at that), but I wished they weren't mates. I feel like it kinda ruins the hate/attraction thing they have going in the beginning because "they always loved eachother but didn't want to admit it yet". If we ever get the next book about Elain, i hope she doesn't end up with Lucien (even thou I think he's a character with a lot of untouched potential) just so we get a bit of a different story that the mates one. 
Rhysand is back to being an asshole in this one, which I don't mind for the book itself but it kinda defeats the purpuse of his hidden golden heart from the previous books so idk how to feel about it
Loved the training and getting to know Gwyn and Emerie (and the house) just wished Mor could've trained them at least a bit instead of only Casian and Azriel. Basically I liked this but it could've been even better.
