This was a great conclusion to a wonderfully epic series. My only complaint is the battle scenes started drag a bit towards the end.

Ugh I am so glad I finally jumped into this book. I am obsessed, while this book ripped my heart out it was like reading about old friends. I will never recover from this.

I have no words good enough to explain how amazing this book is!!! This book ripped me apart, and left me in pieces. But then made my heart soar! So much sacrifice! So much loss! And then sooo much love!!! These characters & the love they share for one another is pure magic! More magical then any of the magic in the book!! 

But spoiler alert.. fuck the gods! They don’t deserve any fucking sacrifices!! They piss me the hell off & I could have done without their holier then now attitudes! lol

I love this series. I feel like the end of the plot was a bit rushed and the characters got stagnant towards the end, but that’s not the most terrible thing! It was very intense and enjoyable!
