Where do I even start?
This series was a rollercoaster of emotions, strong and conflicting, and now it's over.
All the wars are won, all the kingdoms are reclaimed.
This book affected me so much, that exactly nine hours after I finished it, it hit me like a truck, and I started ugly crying for hours, all for the Thirteen, Manon, and Gavriel.
Even now, I still can't believe I've read it all, and maybe I never will.
This series has had such a massive impact on me.
I love Sarah J. Maas' books.
Also, give me an ACOTAR, TOG & CC crossover, or there will be words.
