Holy shitfuck. This is my favourite Sarah J Maas series so far. I love the story, the characters and the setting. I am in constant awe how well thought out these books are. Information that was dumped upon us on some random page in the first book come back to make itself relevant again. Ever word she writes will come back to claim its meaning and I enjoy every second of it. This ending will keep me in knots until the next book comes out, and I simply can not wait for that day to arrive. Have a sexy, feisty, funny and emotional read with this one!

Not my favorite of her books, but I still loved it. Pacing went from slow motion to sprinting and then back again and mainly felt like a setup for what's to come. Still loved it, thanks to the characters and SJM's writing. A little scared about what's next, but I'm very excited as well.

I haven't decided on an overall rating because I fucking HATE the ending so much. The very last chapter is fucking stupid. Negative stars from me. NEGATIVE.

The rest was fine. But my enjoyment from it is basically null because of how much I do not like the ending.

Rep: Fat half-fae half-human white cishet female MC, BIPOC angel cishet male love interest, Black sapphic fawn female side character, sapphic female side character, sapphic BIPOC witch side character, side MLM pairing, sapphic female side character, several BIPOC side characters.

CWs: consensual sexual content (graphic, multiple scenes), violence, blood, death, cursing, torture, war, slavery, murder, gun violence, alcohol consumption, injury/injury detail. Moderate: past mentions of physical child abuse, colonisation, confinement, genocide, drug use, addiction, misogyny, sexism, sexual violence, sexual assault. Minor: mentions of possible infertility (never confirmed), trafficking.
