Everyone talks about how spicy silver flames is…The Spice is there, and the romance is there. Maybe those who think it’s a smutty book think that the nature of the romantic/on page scenes is more of an adult nature… I would say that there is more spice than in the rest of the series so far. But there is so much plot in this book. A lot of it is internal mental health work, but there’s also a lot of back story, a lot of world building and a lot of personal revelations.
Romance, wise… Nesta and Cassian were a very obvious couple choice for the couple following Fayre and Rhysand, with how much sexual tension was laid down in ACOMAF and ACOWAR. The next couple is not as obvious and really, there’s minimal to no hinting at who it will be
I found myself going on a lot of theory, rabbit holes and making a few guesses in regards to world building hints that are dropped. And the possibility of where that world building could lead the series is very interesting.
