This was an amazing end to a brilliant series. I am in awe of the world that Sarah J Maas has created and the characters that have stolen my heart. I cried reading the ending because Aelin was a character that I came to know and love. After reading through all of her heartbreaking experiences, finally seeing the end is bittersweet. The ending was much better than anticipated and I cannot wait to read Sarah’s new book in January! Sad that the throne of glass series is over but it will forever be one of my favorites.

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!

An ending that does justice to this EPIC series. I cried like 45 times and just reveled in the way we got to say goodbye to these characters and their fated journey !!
