My other favorite of the series, it’s so so good and I love it and I love Throne of Glass!!! These are my favorite characters and I love them and think about them every day. 

Note - read this when in a good mental state. Some of the stuff in here is quite hard to read. The first time around I wasn’t in the best place, so this book struck very deeply then. 

This is such a great end to a massive world, with parts of all the books twining together very well. I loved the ending!! My favorite series ever 💚🤍

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.

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!
