If you read this book after reading Throne of Glass 1-3 you already know how it’s gonna end. It is so heartbreaking.

I knew exactly Sam was gonna die in the end and i kinda knew how. But reading it actually happening was a whole other level of pain. I cried.

I heard someone say you could skip this one?? I LOVED this book. I read it as #3 in the series, which I enjoyed. You can read it first as well, just as long as you read it before the TOG/EOS tandem read. Don’t skip!
