The ending?!?? Oh. My. God. Not sure if the ending was brilliant or ruined everything?!?? 
This book was awesome. Like TRULY awesome. I recommend it to EVERYONE who loves romantasy (just as much as me). 
This is one of these few books you read, that seem like they change the way you see the world.

3.5

I think I'm torn on this one. I'd like to give it a 3.5, I think. I enjoyed reading it, and the tournament system was fun to read. I also don't know if I ever really came to love the characters? Except maybe poor Ibrahim. I'd like to learn more about the gods and how all that works. I'm going to read the second one. But I think I'm a little surprised after how much I've read people gush about this series.

((Also - and this is petty because I have read way too many vampire books and also all of Maas' work - I'm not a huge fan of winged vampires. Shapeshifting to have wings? Sure. Turning into animals a 'la the old myths? Of course. But... feather wings and bat wings? I dunno.))
